Macys

Hello, has anyone noticed that macys barely has a dooney section? It's a mess and the selection is limited. Are they doing away with dooney? Other brands seem to be well taken care of.my local dooney outlet is closed for remodel from January to August. It's a good thing yet a bad thing as I love dooneys.

They have 141 D&B items on their website so it seems like they are still longer carrying the brand.

I checked Macy's website for DB bags and most of them are NOT available at my local stores.... My guess is, most people who shop at Macy's buy bags for their names - MK, Coach, and they don't know the DB brand....which is also very expensive and most people are about the brand than anything else....Obviously, not us! ;-)

I am not quite sure what it is about DB that it's most popular on QVC and nowhere else...

Anyway, my point was - Macy's can't put DB (less known brand) next to Coach, etc. because it wouldn't sell as well.....In my opinion.....but that being said, I LOVE D&B!!!!!! Don't care for Coach!!! I LOVE genuine leather!

If you think the Macy's selection is limited, Lord and Taylor's is absolutely pathetic, and so much of what they do have right now are the seasonal bags, which don't interest me at all.

I think that it depends on the store. I go to the Manhattan (NYC) store and they always have a nice selection.

In the Dallas area, the Macy's have a good selection of Dooney's.

My two Macy's has relegated Dooneys to a corner, side area , certainly not a focal point of the department. Dooneys are not trending as they say.

I was in Macy's last week looking for a Dooney and they didn't have too many. I was disappointed as the quality seems to be declining.

Have been a Dooney lover for years. The quality and styles just aren't suiting me anymore.

Interesting. I have to say I have never bought a D&B but they are kept under lock and key at my local department store. We don't have a Macy's so the nicest department store we have is BonTon. MK is out in the open on tables and it's a new brand to me. But D&B has been around for years and most of their selection is in glass cases. You have to get a clerk if you want to touch

Also, I was in a country club golf pro shop last weekend and would you believe they just started tocarry D&B? I think they want the golfers to have something nice to buy for their women? I told my hubby he can buy me one if he wants to

The same could be said about the Macy stores near me.

I can't fault Macys as D&B handbags are not popular in my area. In fact if it wasn't for QVC I would never have heard of D&B.

Well, as I mentioned before, there are NO D&B bags at Macy's in my area - Sacramento, CA....but I see COACH EVERYWHERE!!!!! So tired of seeing those purses!!! However, I did see 3 women in the elevator at work who had D&B bags

Macy's wrote to Rick Perry and asked him to veto the Texas Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which he did. Since they don't believe that I deserve to be paid as much as a man, I believe that they don't deserve to have any of my money.

Dillard's carries Dooney bags and has good sale prices.

I have no idea what this Act is about....any details? I know I can google but I am not THAT curious... ;-)

I checked Dillard's online....maybe I can drive 50 miles to that store and see what they have but no sales on the bags I want as of today... Thanks!

My Macy's downtown has lots of D&B - I saw the beautiful Garden Rose patterned purses there before I saw them on QVC.

Oh, hello neighbor! =)

I checked availability in my area for a few bags I liked and according to the results, those bags were not available anywhere within 50 miles radius....but maybe their software is wrong because last night it showed the Florentine Satchel at Sunrise Mall! Guess I should go in person and check. Thanks for the info.

tough_kitty — Thu, 24 Apr 2014 21:31:58 GMT

VolvoGirl: I just checked again - they show availability based on the color! So the red is not available but supposedly they have the chestnut satchel in stock! Will drive by after work today and they better have it!!!!!!!!!!!
