When I think of Dooney & Bourke, I think of either their logo print or something just like this Birdseye Lucy bag. The Lucy is a prime example of their well-known, signature look: high-quality, simple, and casual chic.
Sure, they’ve got their fair share of the off-beat or showy handbags like the bright floral Cindy Tote or the Zebra Bitsy Bag. However, the Lucy, with its simplistic use of leather trim, seems much more recognizable as a Dooney & Bourke than the other styles.
The intricately woven jacquard fabric is where this Birdseye version of the Lucy earns its name. Though not instantly noticeable, after looking more closely you’ll see that the tight weave is a pretty texture for the handbag. The fabric, labeled as yellow though more ivory than anything, is set off nicely by tan leather trim.
One thing about Dooney & Bourke bags that I appreciate is the attention they pay to practicality. Although there are generally decorative features like the buckled handles and silver studs on this one, storage is something that’s not ignored with these handbags. On the Lucy, you’ll find two very convenient front pockets with a functional but pretty snap tab closure. The interior is lined in a sturdy canvas material and has a few pockets and a key fob.
If you’re not over the moon about this yellow-ish ivory color, the Birdseye Lucy also comes in black and chestnut brown. Each of the other two versions has corresponding leather trim but contrast stitching like the one shown here. The medium-sized Birdseye Lucy retails for $295.
