pink: yes, a Dooney and Bourke all leather handbag is worth it. If you give us the item # the you can get specific feed back on why people love it, or don't. Then you can make your decision.
As for color.... well, I love color and I think the a wine or deep eggplant shade would be great. Depending upon the colors it your wardrobe those shades can be very neutral or not. I prefer cool colors, like black, blue, grey, so wine/eggplant purple go with those colors very well. If you wear more brown, tans, beige then the wine would still work nicely. I much prefer wine/eggplant to browns, tans, saddle colors in handbags. But that is just me.
As for matching shoes and handbags, that is not considered a style objective anymore.
My only tip for coordinating an outfit is to keep most of the outfit in similar color families and have only one or two pops of different colors. I'm not into rainbow dressing where everything is a different color, even if they are all 'neutral' colors.
I also think there is a lot of pleasure in a good leather handbag... one that feels good and one that looks good. And a pretty color can add to your enjoyment of the handbag. Of course there is nothing wrong with a beautiful black leather handbag. Even in black, if the style and leather are nice enough, it's a treasure too.

1. You deserve this bag.
2. If it's going to bother you that you spent the money, or if you really can't afford it, don't buy it. Only buy it if it will be a guilt-free purchase.
3. If it's going to be your "one good bag" go for a neutral.
(Or, do whatever you want.)

I will add that I agree with faeriemoon... don't buy an expensive handbag unless you can afford it. If it will keep you up worrying about the cost or you have to pay interest on your credit card.... then don't buy it. I love handbags and I think a Dooney is a great purchase, but only if you have the money to spend.

I have a couple of Dooneys. They are really well made and the leather is really thick. I don't think you could wear these bags out if you tried. I was able to purchase them due to the easy pay. I also have a Madie Claire from Shophq. That one is really nice too. However the Madie Claires are not all leather, in the description it will tell you what percentage is leather. The on I have is 90% and it is really nice. I have gotten more compliments on this bag than I have on the Dooneys. The Madie Claires are less expensive because the leather is less but they are nice just the same. I would say if you are eyeing the Dooney take a chance like one of the other ladies stated you can always send it back.
