Is QVC discontinuing Dooney & Bourke?  All of the inventory is either on sale or on clearance. What do you think is going on?  

[We rescue cats]

Not sure but I buy from "I Love Dooney" of I'm looking.

@zanimac I've wondered about that too, not nearly the inventory they used to carry.

Dooney closed several popular Outlet stores in California.

Surprising, because there were always lots of customers.

I've consigned or gifted all my Dooney,

now happily Coach and Brahmin.

I'm not positive, but I would say yes. All purses are on clearance, and that's usually the death of a clothing line on the Q.

I agree. That's a bad sign. I keep perusing the selections but honestly I don't need or want a stiff heavy dooney.

I don't see many women I know carrying Dooney bags as,often as I used to. 
I have a few I kept but honestly I rarely carry them; too heavy. I have a few newer Patricia Nash bags that are beautiful leather but lightweight.

PN makes lovely bags. I also like Pom Pom London for purses with classic styling, good leather, quality details. And not heavy.

Q's current focus seems to be on low cost bags made of synthetic materials that I tend to think of a 'throw away' bags. Dooney has not been the presence here it once was for quite a while. I don't know if they'll completely go away, but they can usually be had for consistently better prices elsewhere.

the Sue Clifton days. And yes, if you're craving a dooney, there are better places to buy. And often w free shipping.
