Harvey’s Handbags in Disney Halloween Prints at Disneyland

7 September 2011 by Suzannah Otis 1 Comment

I caught this little bit of news from the Orange County Register’s site and thought some of my readers might be interested. I know the Harvey’s seatbelt bags we’ve seen around the parks (see below for past designs) are a big hit with some guests and definitely give the Disney Dooney & Bourke designs a run for their money. Now Disneyland is set to receive an all-new set of Harvey’s bags with Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas prints for Halloween as well as two other collections with a Halloween theme. The collections will debut this Saturday, September 10, 2011. I may have to bribe some of my California friends to pick me up ~~all of them~~ one!

Here’s the story from the OC Register (emphasis mine):

Disney Vault 28, a women’s clothing and accessory store for women in Downtown Disney, is debuting a new line of specially-designed handbags inspired by “Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas” on Saturday.

Disney spokeswoman Michelle Harker said the latest offering of Harveys Seatbeltbags will feature scenes from the Tim Burton movie. Additionally, two other collections featuring Halloween-themes of skulls and bats will be available.

Harveys are made from seat belt material, woven together to create bags, wallets and other accessories.

The popular handbag company, based in Santa Ana, debuted a Disney-inspired line of bags and wallets in 2008. Harveys spokeswoman Ashley Cope said the “Nightmare Before Christmas” line is the fifth Disney-inspired collection.

The bags will range in price from $128 to $238 and carry a lifetime guarantee.

Cope said Dana and Melanie Harvey, who started the handbag company, will attend the launch at Disney Vault 28 from 5 to 8 p.m. on Saturday.

Here are some photos from Harvey’s of the prints used in the Nightmare Before Christmas designs —

EDIT: Here are photos from the bags, now available at Harvey’s site:

Harvey's Nightmare Before Christmas bags — Jack and Sally’s iconic Moonlight pose – Carriage Ring Tote $178

Harvey's NMBC Skulls bag — Skulls design – Large Satchel $148

Harvey's NMBC Bats bag — Bats design – Carriage Satchel $238

No word right now as to whether these new designs will reach Walt Disney World stores any time soon, but I’ll keep you posted. Currently, most stores carrying the Disney Dooney & Bourke bags also carry these Harvey’s designs (which I’ve been meaning to post about since April – my photo files are a scary place!) —

Disney Harvey's Bags — The Mickey Mouse comic-style Harvey’s bags have been out for a while at Disney parks and online.

Harvey's Minnie Bow design — The Harvey’s limited edition Minnie Bow design comes in several styles and a wallet

As much as I love Jack Skellington, there IS something about Minnie’s bow design that really appeals to me. I think it’s the polka dots, they always get me!

NEW Aulani Resort Disney Dooney Bags in Hawaii

3 September 2011 by Suzannah Otis 21 Comments

Well, Disney and Dooney & Bourke have done it again. With the grand opening of Disney’s newest Disney Vacation Club (DVC) property in Oahu, Hawaii, we Disney Dooney & Bourke fans have been treated to a new design available exclusively at the Aulani resort. Anyone heading to Hawaii and willing to take orders? 😉 As always, click to enlarge photos:

Aulani dark brown leather — Aulani print in dark brown leather - the design is embossed right onto the bag - $330

Thoughts? I love the color print and the muted colors in it. Actually, I would love to see one for the deluxe resorts at Walt Disney World, but I know that’s probably an extreme long-shot! In the meantime, I’ll be saving pennies to get to Aulani. Mahalo!

Don’t forget to check DisneyStore.com for sales of select current released Disney Dooney & Bourke purses and Zannaland’s Disney Dooney & Bourke page with ALL handbag photos and info.

Aulani, Halloween and Epcot Food & Wine Festival Duffy the Disney Bear!

2 September 2011 by Suzannah Otis 2 Comments

A reliable source (aka one of my amazing Disney cast member friends) has just let me know that an all-new Duffy Bear will be released for the 16th annual Epcot International Food & Wine Festival! ~~The design of the Duffy must remain secret for now,~~ but hopefully he’ll be released a little before the opening day of the Festival, September 30th.

EDIT: Thanks to the all-powerful StitchKingdom for letting me know that Food & Wine Duffy was actually at the D23 Expo! I actually walked right by him and didn’t take any pics. Oops, bad blogger. Can I blame being overwhelmed by Disneyland goodness? 😉 In any event, thanks to StichKingdom.com, I can now share photos of the Food & Wine Duffy NOW!

Jack Skellington Antenna Toppers and Other Halloween Fun

2 September 2011 by Suzannah Otis 3 Comments

Sunday night the family and I popped over for a quick visit to the Magic Kingdom, my first since returning from Disneyland. We didn’t stay long, but I snagged a few photos of some fun merchandise while there –

I don’t recall seeing this much of the “Runaway Brain”-style Mickey in past Halloween merchandise but I could be mistaken. It could also just be a monster/Frankenstein-type Mickey too (or frazzled/stressed-out Mickey??)…but I like to think it’s from Runaway Brain. 😉 I’ll be visiting the parks this weekend and should get more photos of fun Halloween merchandise to share, so stay tuned!

Fun New Characters & Halloween Mouse Ear Hats at Disney Parks

30 August 2011 by Suzannah Otis 2 Comments

Back in “The World” (aka Walt Disney World) over the weekend, I noticed these cute new Ear Hats. I think of all the new styles that Disney keeps coming out with, these are the cutest. They really play into the cartoony look of the characters they are emulating and make for a fun statement.

Check ’em out!

Ear Hats Halloween — Here are the Halloween ones out now too!

Be on the look out next time you’re in Disney Parks!

Limited Edition Steampunk Vinylmation Set

2 August 2011 by Suzannah Otis Leave a Comment

I am a huge fan of the Steampunk genre and as such was thrilled to hear that a Steampunk Vinylmation – “Steam Park” set was coming out. It arrived on July 22 and while in D-Street at Downtown Disney last week, I was able to see this set in person. At $100 for the Limited Edition set of 6, it is definitely for serious collectors. Here’s what the 6 Vinylmation look like inside the themed box:

Fun Mickey and Minnie Ponchos for Kids

1 August 2011 by Suzannah Otis 3 Comments

I know these have been out for a little while at the Disney Parks but I thought they were cute enough to share for people that may not have seen them. Definitely a cute alternative to the generic clear plastic ponchos and usable back home too.

NEW! Tokidoki Meets Marvel T-Shirts at Walt Disney World

30 July 2011 by Suzannah Otis 1 Comment

While visiting Downtown Disney’s West Side last night, of course I had to stop in to D-Street, my favorite spot for fun merchandise. I was so excited when I spotted these new shirts from Tokidoki, featuring Marvel characters. I love Tokidoki, the Japanese inspired brand from Italian designer Simone Legno and his partners and have been known to covet their branded items from Sephora. I couldn’t think of a cuter collaboration to expand the Marvel line to those who may not otherwise be interested. For instance, my almost-11-year-old daughter instantly wanted the Incredible Hulk shirt and she has pretty much no interest in comic book characters. I may have to pick one or two up myself! Check them out below: (click to enlarge)

Tokidoki Marvel Captain America — Captain America

Tokidoki Marvel Incredible Hulk — This is the Incredible Hulk shirt my daughter wanted. He's so cute with Cactus Pup!

Tokidoki Marvel Iron Man — Captain Coco and Coco Bella hang around with Iron Man. Can't stand the cute!

Tokidoki Marvel Wolverine — Ciao Ciao finds out Wolverine comes in handy at a cookout!

Each shirt is $28. I hope this is the first of many new designs we see. {There are actually quite a few on sale at Tokidoki‘s site!} Which is your favorite?
