This may be the first time I’ve oohed and aahed over something designed by Dooney and Bourke. The Editors Tote is a smart and professional bag – and that’s despite its nylon material. Trimmed with handsome tan leather, it features a detachable shoulder strap and a sleek buckle closure for easy in-out access. What really sells it to me, though, is the interior divider. That’s such a sensible addition to a bag like this, and makes it so easy to stay organized on …

… about the classic quilted pattern. I never thought I would associate the All-American brand of Dooney & Bourke with the lady-like selection of quilted pattern. Seriously, I would have never guessed D&B as the maker of this piece. One feature Dooney & Bourke has dropped (or forgot to add) is an exaggerating logo or dangling charm declaring its name. Instead, a concealed duck logo is centered against the puffy fabric, which we actually prefer to the juvenile hearts that D&B …

The Dooney & Bourke Plaid Double Pocket Shoulder Bag is a little preppier than I prefer my bags, but I still love it. The bright yellow tartan – which screams Cher Horowitz – is a welcome alternative to more muted, neutral plaids. While the 1990s fashion that has been reemerging lately has been a little more grungey, perhaps this is a sign that things are about to turn a little sunnier? …

… but I have too much stuff. The bigger the bag, the more stuff I can get in it. But when I saw the Dooney & Bourke Croco-Embossed Mini Flap Cross-Body Bag I actually considered mending my evil ways. The sense of shedding all my stuff and just carrying the bare minimum of essentials actually made me feel all light and airy all over. With its croc-embossed leather in cool fall shades (bordeaux, cognac and black), think of all the places that this mini-bag was meant for. Pack up your credit …
