FABRIC DOONEY BAGS?

Tinkrbl44 · ‎08-23-2010

A friend is a Dooney fan, but just noticed the fabric bags might be an option. I couldn't find any reviews of cloth bags but seem to recall posters thought they were nice (and lighter!) but cost too much.

Feedback welcome.

TIA!

I have a few Dooney cloth bags and find them similar to Coach cloth bags. Nicely made, typical Dooney quality bags -- just not leather.

I have one Dooney coated cotton bag for about 15ish years. It wears like iron. When my son was younger he got nacho cheese on it at a restaurant. Wiped off completely. I wouldn't hesitate to get another one.

I have a couple of Dooney Cabriolet cloth bags, even luggage.

They held up well and are not too heavy. I have owned Dooney bags since around 1978.

I have had a black fabric Dooney for years, it never seems to wear out

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

I have two nylon Dooney bags. They are very nice and very durable. I like that they are trimmed in real leather.

I have a Dooney black nylon pouchette and a Gretta (signature coated cotton) crossbody pouch. They are both several years old, very nice quality and weather friendly, and nice to the touch. I paid $49 and $69 for them on sale, respectively. Granted, they are small (but mighty) bags and prices are up since I bought them, but I would say Dooney fabric bags are not overpriced. They're usually noticeably less expensive than the same-style leather Dooneys, which is fair, not like some other brands that have the same price across the board.

I have a coated cloth Dooney and a nylon Dooney, love both of them. They do have leather trim and have worn well but I only use them in the warmer months.

@Tinkrbl44 - I also have a coated cotton Dooney. In fact I'm carrying it right now! I can't remember exactly when I got it, but it's been a while. The one I have is a light red color. I love it - still looks new!
