I rounded up all the cute small bags we had not yet listed, so dubbed this MINI WEEK at our Dooney & Bourke store.
Here are three examples of the R 134 Mini Drawstring Bag
R134 Mini Drawstring
B134 Mini Drawstring
R134 Mini Drawstring
Although the Small, Medium and large drawstring bags appear in the earliest catalog I have, 1987
Summer 1987 Dooney & Bourke catalog
It isn’t until the Fall/Winter 1994 catalog where I spotted the Mini Drawstring but it was only available in the Teton.
1994 Fall Winter Dooney & Bourke Catalog
The first time I spotted the R134 Mini Drawstring was in the Fall 1997 catalog.
1997 Fall Dooney & Bourke Catalog
There it is described as available as :
R134 Tan Trim
P134 Matching Trim
B134 Burnt Cedar Trim
8″ Height
6.5″ Length (or side to side)
3.75″ Width (or depth at base)
It has an adjustable strap but the strap is affixed permanently to the bag, unlike its Small, Medium and Large cousins which have buckle-on shoulder straps.
The strap drop length is 20″
There are no pockets inside the bag.
The drawstring runs through holes that are reinforced with metal grommets.
The bag sold at retail for $98 in 1997.
If any of you fellow Dooney enthusiasts have an earlier catalog where the mini appears, please let me know. Thank you !
