Dooney & Burke Bolero Bag
While I was shopping last weekend, I happened to glance at the window display at the Dooney & Burke boutique. What I saw there stopped me in my tracks.

I actually stood there gaping at it for several seconds, immobilized by its sheer ugliness. It looks like it was created by a color-blind 7-year old at summer camp, a lanyard gone horribly wrong.
And the color combinations! Turquoise, pink, and sunflower... Fuchsia, sunflower, and sky blue... Kiwi, tangerine, sunflower... My eyes ache at the very mention of those bright hues warring with another on one handbag.
Now excuse me, but I have to get this purse off my monitor before it permanently burns its image into the screen.

Actually I did make this when I was seven at summer camp. If the patent is still valid, I think I can sue! Mwahahaha...
I am a total purse snob. I have never been able to bring myself to buy or carry anything from Dooney.

The only interesting thing Dooney has done recently is their new BIG shoulder bag that has blue logo print and red leather trim...it is the love child of the Gucci horsebit hobo and the new LV denim/red handbags. Who exactly does this blue-and-red color scheme work for?
