Past. Present. Future. Fun.
In my travels today, I saw these little beauties in World of Disney…the original Disney Dooney & Bourke Cindy Sketch featured in black or white as an iPhone case for the 4 and 4S. They are real cases that go over the front of the phone as well and not just the snap on the sides and leave the front exposed. Each case is $50.
Today at the Disney Dooney and Bourke launch event at Downtown Disney’s Tren-D, in addition to the Walt Disney World Retro line and Charms line, two new nylon bags were released. The original Cindy Sketch is now available in a backpack and large satchel style, both made with a light nylon material, similar to that found in LeSportsac bags. Definitely a light and easy-to-care-for alternative to the coated canvas or fabric that previous Dooneys were made with.
Here are the new nylon bags, now for sale at Tren-D:

Apparently I had missed this bit of news, but was quite excited to see these new designs thanks to my good friend Charles (who was nice enough to buy one for his lovely wife’s birthday!) You read the title right, the original “Cindy Sketch” print (without Minnie Mouse from the second edition of the print) is now out in new COLORS! The print is actually slightly re-worked, with the first edition Disney World/Disneyland banner, the Dooney & Bourke leather tag, less balloons, and no Minnie. Available in a letter carrier style and the wristlet – the designs come in hot pink, bright purple, sky blue, sun yellow, and grass green – the perfect accessory for summer!
Let’s just get right to the pictures, shall we? Don’t forget you can click to enlarge.

I first heard of the marriage of Disney designs with Dooney & Bourke purses from a good friend on twitter. He’d seen the posting on a popular Disney-related message board. I hopped over to check it out and, like hundreds of others, I instantly fell in love.
As with most things Disney, once word of mouth gets started, it spreads like wildfire. People reading the message boards and seeing the pictures posted needed one right away and didn’t want to chance waiting until their next visit to see if they were still in stock. If you’ve visited Disney a lot, one thing you learn is that merchandise changes frequently. There may be some tried and true items you can always find in the parks and resort shops, but other special or limited edition items may disappear within months. Of course there is always ebay, but you are then paying quite a markup and must deal with the possible risks associated with a third party seller.
For those familiar with Dooney & Bourke purses, the Disney designs are similar in style and design aesthetic to the Hearts or Fantasy designs D&B has made popular. The Disney D&B bags currently come in 3 different sizes: [links are for size/feature reference and do not show Disney design] Medium Cindy Tote, smaller Tassel Tote, and Wristlet. Best of all, if you have a Disney Visa, Disney Annual Pass or other discount you can use in certain stores, you are be able to get 10% off your purchase. The purses are exclusive to Disney Parks and not available where regular Dooney & Bourke bags are sold.
