I have been a Dooney & Bourke customer…
I have been a Dooney & Bourke customer for decades. I have have never had a complaint, until now. First, it is important to understand that I am a disabled grandmother. My lovely Dooney & Bourke purse arrived on June 23. Today is August 11. For the entire month of July, my disability became an urgent situation, and I was hospitalized for that entire time, in ICU for a good bit of it. I was so excited when I was released from the hospital to get back home, but really more excited because I knew my Dooney & Bourke purse was waiting for me. You can imagine my shock and disappointment when I opened my beautiful Dooney & Bourke purse today and saw that above the zipper, on that beautiful red lining, is a cut in the fabric that is as straight as the zipper itself. It runs parallel to the zipper. I called customer service, and sadly, but not surprisingly, was connected to a customer service representative in a Third World country. I don't mind working with customer service reps around the world, as long as I can understand them. I could not understand this guy at all. He was finally able to communicate well enough to tell me that basically, it sucks to be me and that Dooney & Bourke is not going to do anything about this purse and that the company couldn't care less that I've been a valuable customer whom, in the last 12 years – at least – has carried no purse but a Dooney & Bourke. They have lost a loyal customer over a $205 purse. I will never purchase another Dooney & Bourke item as long as I live, and will tell anyone who expresses an interest that Dooney & Bourke is a terrible company. They do not support their products so beware.
