Dooney and Bourke
Top Dooney & Bourke Handbags, Bags and Purses

By Desiree Stimpert, About.com

Dooney and Bourke handbags became all the rage a few years ago by offering everything from heart-covered purses and bowler bags adorned with charms to crocodile embossed duffels and candy-colored barrel bags. And while there are more subtle styles to choose from, there's always still a zinger or two in each collection. Here are a few of the current top bags from Dooney and Bourke.

1. Patent "Aqua" Handbags from Dooney & Bourke

This patent leather beauty features a mid-sized classic design, and comes in several lovely colors. I'm crazy about the plum, because it's very deep and unique, but the black, red and gray versions are equally dynamic.

2. Dooney & Bourke Letter Carrier Bag

Small but mighty, this letter carrier features a long-cross body strap, and loads of casual style. Available in brown, black or taupe, bags like these are ideal when you need to carry some stuff, but don't want to be weighed down by a bigger bag.

3. Dooney & Bourke "Fredrica" Large Bags

Looking for a larger bag? Look no further. The "Fredrica" is a mid-sized hobo bag that's simple and chic. The white and red versions are extremely dynamic, while the black and brown styles are classic and versatile.

4. Giraffe-Print "Chiara" Bag from Dooney and Bourke

The drawstring "Chiara" comes in lots of colors and finishes, but one of my favorites is this giraffe print -- which is saying a lot, considering I'm not a terribly big fan of animal prints. It's measures a roomy 15." wide x 11" tall x 7" deep, and features two top handles.

5. Dooney and Bourke "Cindy" Large Tote

If you're a fan of totes, Dooney and Bourke have you covered with this large, patent bag. Available in cherry, plum or black, this bag is great for women who have a lot to carry, and want to carry it in style.
