Nearest dooney&bourke outlet?

[nick.66]

There used to be one at the Ellerton Mall it's somewhere south of Tampa. My daughter has had some great bargains from there on previous holidays. Having not been since just before the pandemic I'm not sure whether it's still there but maybe worth googling.

Sorry that should have been Ellenton Mall and I've just checked it's still there.

Need a good outlet place with lots of discounted bags, prefer D&B but at this rate will settle for anything with a decent brand name and discount,!, if I can get there. No uber app.never used them.

Why does it have to have a decent brand name? A bag is a bag. Surely the important thing is that it does its iob.

Everyone can choose what they spend their money on, whether that be a particular clothing brand or hotel or supermarket or car etc.

We could all question why others pick x over y or z but why would we; it’s their right to choose.

I didn't explain myself very well. In the past, I've learned that in general you get what you pay for and to me, it's worth paying that bit extra for a good quality brand or product which will last.
We've become such a disposable world, it's nearly cheaper to buy new rather than repair, so I like my bags to last. That's all.

Not a 'bag person' then? Yes a bag is a bag - but some bags are far more of a bag than others

I've got some really nice bags previously from Radley, Coast & Kate Spade out there. One of the outlets had a Dooney shop, but I can't remember what one.

And I agree that a bag is not just a bag. I love a good, expensive bag, even more so when it's on offer... My current fave is my black leather Radley backpack which I got from Gun Wharf Quays in Portsmouth for £90, down from £210! In my experience you pay cheap you pay twice!

I have ended up with 2 bags and am contemplating a 3rd!

1st one caught my eye in DIlliards-florida mall. Its an ALDO bag .Perfect size, weight and gorgeous design and pattern. On sale and no taxes the day i bought it so $90 became $52.50 !
Took it out today and got a compliment from 1 of the staff at our local arboretum.

2nd one was bought online from amazon-a UK company Signare. Its a little smaller but design is influenced by charlies rennie mackintosh. I bought matching spectacles case and am thinking of buying matching rfid wallet and/or purse too. Cost about £50 total.

the 3rd bag is for sale in the disney shop in ireland.2 designs costing approx €150 each. Both dooney and bourke.
Haven't purchased yet. Still thinking about it!

Thanks everyone for all your support.
You can't beat a good bag ,especially one that looks like the tardis from the outside and holds everything bar the kitchen sink inside and is as light as a feather!
