Cherry Tree Lane To Offer One-Stop Shopping for Disney Fashion Accessories

6 May 2014 by Suzannah Otis 1 Comment

One of the many things Disney fans have been wishing for over the past few years is unique merchandise locations. Specialty and location-specific merchandise, or themed shops are all a plus. With fond memories of EPCOT Center’s Centorium and other shopping locations which were almost attractions unto themselves; two announced locations in the new Disney Springs are offering those experiences again.

The Landing will be the first section to open in the Downtown Disney area, becoming home to Cherry Tree Lane boutique and Marketplace Co-Op. Once the two new shops have opened, Downtown Disney Marketplace will be officially renamed Disney Springs and the changes and improvements to the shopping, dining and infrastructure supporting the district. The construction and parking may be a source of frustration right now, but these two beauties are showing us that Disney designers are hitting it out of the park.

Today on the Disney Parks Blog, Steven Miller shared details of Cherry Tree Lane, which, as you may guess by the name, offers and homage to Mary Poppins and the Banks family inside. From the sign, with a Mary Poppins umbrella to the Victorian touches and subtle umbrella wallpaper, you’ll definitely feel Practically Perfect inside.

As for merchandise, Cherry Tree Lane will be the place for Disney Dooney & Bourke, Disney Collection by Vera Bradley, and accessories with their own Cherry Tree Lane design, which I already love. After all, I think we can all agree, Mary Poppins is the queen of bags, yes? Jewelry, shoes, scarves and more will also be available. I know I’ll be shelling out way more than “tuppence a bag” (sorry, was that groan-worthy?) when Cherry Tree Lane opens!

Can’t wait for Cherry Tree Lane to open up SOON! (And the Marketplace Co-Op too, which will feature some amazing merchandise specific to Magic Kingdom and its lands, among other items!) What are your must-gets?

14 July 2012 by Suzannah Otis 3 Comments

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:

Disney Dooney backpack — “Fashion Diva” Isabella was on hand to show us the new bags – the nylon backpack in the Cindy Sketch print is $198

Disney Dooney nylon satchel — The nylon Cindy Sketch satchel, as modeled by Isabella – $238

Disney Dooney nylon satchel and backpack — More of the display in Tren-D – side-view of the satchels

The Disney Parks Blog just shared details that shocked even me. They will be offering never-before-seen unproduced Disney Dooney & Bourke bags for SALE at tomorrows event which premiers the Walt Disney World Retro line and Charms bags. Check out the news from the Parks Blog:

Laura Caszatt, product developer for accessories, gives a quote about what to expect.

“For the first time ever, we will be offering about 50 unproduced items for sale,” said Laura. “These items contain never-before-seen colors and trims. During the development process, we received these bags for review, and for various reasons, we decided not to produce them. The release party seemed like the perfect opportunity for fans of Dooney & Bourke to add a unique bag to their collection.”

The bags will be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis starting at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday. There will be a limit of one bag per guest. Retails for the unique bags will vary from $85 to $350 (no discounts offered), and we will feature a variety of styles, including wristlets, cross body bags, barrel bags, and more. One of Laura’s favorite items is the large “sketch pattern” tote in purple (pictured above).

As a reminder, guests can meet Dooney & Bourke Creative Director Ian Ray and Disney Design Group Artist Susan Foy from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Laura said there will be another surprise guest joining the party early in the morning.

“We are excited to introduce the world to our newest fashion diva,” continued Laura. “We think guests will love her, so be sure to dress to impress.”
