On July 14, two new collections of Dooney & Bourke handbags will go on sale at TrendD in the Downtown Disney Marketplace at Walt Disney World. The new designs will be a retro print for Walt Disney World and a pattern featuring Disney character charms.
In May, Disney released two new Dooney & Bourke collections for Disneyland at Disney Vault 28. These latest designs are for the Walt Disney World fans.
Like the retro print for Disneyland Resort, the artwork for the Walt Disney World Resort pattern was created by Susan Foy. The intricate details are one of the best parts of the design. You can tell that the artist spent a lot of time with the artwork, especially when looking at Cinderella Castle.
There will be a variety of styles released for the retro print including a new tassel bag, satchel, cross-body letter carrier, barrel bag, wristlet and, my favorite, the tablet case. Retails will range from $85-$285 depending on style.
The charm pattern, designed by artist Courtney Williams, will be made with a black and a white background. The black background pattern will see a pocket tote, satchel, wristlet and tablet case; while the white background will have a letter carrier, wristlet and barrel bag.
Disney has also shared that a nylon version of the classic sketch print is in development. We hear that it may not be available for the release party, in which case it will arrive shortly afterward.
TrenD will open at 9:30 a.m. on July 14. The meet and greet opportunity with Ian and Susan will be held from 11 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. I hope to see you there!
