The same company owns QVC and HSN, so why does it surprise you?

Re: Dooney & Bourke sold on HSN Shameful!!!

I just bought my first Dooney in about 20 years.  I bought it on their online site for a third of the price.  It's a cross body and I am very happy, it fits my need.  I will be 60 soon, any of you ladies that are buying a purse for status or credibility are wasting your money.  Buy a purse because you love it and need it please don't do it to impress anyone else..........

I was surprised to see it.  Maybe there will be MORE crossover from QVC.

"Status" means different things to different people.

If Dooney's are sold at those stores, they are in the bargain basement.  My daughter and I were in Bloomies and I was carrying a Dooney bag.  I felt like a poor bag lady!   The only Dooney in that store was mine!

Since I didn't read a post that welcomed you to the Community, let me welcome you @zanimac

 

Aside from established retailers who have an online presence and the dooney folks with an online presence, I can see some of your point as far as home shopping channel retailers. 

 

For many years QVC played up their relationship with the Dooney and Bourke organization and promoted many exclusive styles/colors etc.  So, from a shopping channel perspective, HSN didn't have them and neither did Evine.

 

It wasn't that you couldn't buy one elsewhere, you could sometimes get exclusive styles or colors at the Q.  

 

 

There are many elements: wind, fire, water
But none quite like the element of surprise

I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean when you say HSN selling D&B is sad and a loss of credibility (?)  Why???  Ever since QVC and HSN were purchased by the Qurate Retail Group, I'm sure there will be many crossover items. For example, HSN now sells Clark's shoes and Kitchen Aid Mixers. How is D&B any different?
