Ok it's that time of the year again. The NYC D&B retail store is holding the fall trunk show. From what I hear they're shutting down the store so you need to RSVP.

Those who received invitations will get another free gift worth $50. There's also a 20% discount on all purchases that evening.

Here's the details: September 24th from 5-7pm.

I'm not sure about the dates for other store locations, so check with the store nearest you.

Dooney & Bourke Suede Collection

you know what makes me happy? when a company actually listens to your suggestions. i love that! therfore i love this collection. the colors are saturated and just begging to be on your arm. granted i've got one already with the help of the sample sale and i can't wait for the first fall day.

suede medium safari bag.

some FYI from D&B:
About Suede:
Suede handbags are 100% cowhide, and have been vegetable dyed to provide a rich color. All hardware is gold-plated brass. Due to the unique texture or nap, some consideration should be given when using during inclement weather, although the collection has been treated for water repellency.

Care & Cleaning:
Suede bags should never be submerged completely in water. If the bag becomes wet, a soft dry cotton cloth may be used to absorb excess liquid, and then be allowed to dry naturally. Once dry a suede brush may be used to gently lift the nap. The treatment used to render Suede bags water repellant, may also repel some surface dirt. In this event a quality suede brush may be used to remove superficial dirt. When soiled with something of an oily nature, the bags should be blotted with a dry cloth to free it of excess soil, and blotted with a dry cloth to free it of excess soil. At this point the bag is to be brushed to lift the nap and restore the original beauty.

New Dooney and Bourke Patent collection

i was never a big patent fan, but i love this collection because of the color. it's so strong and saturated...how can you go wrong. the patent bags i saw at the sample sale weren't produced and that's a bummer. they were really something special. oh well.
