David Jones…My Handbag Hero!
-
Every once in a while, I fall in love with a designer that captures my heart like no other. This time, Mr. David Jones has managed to capture my heart with his new handbag collection. It is absolutely breathtaking and of course I couldn’t wait to snag one for myself asap!
And I did! A couple of days ago I set out on a journey to find that perfect David Jones handbag. Stumbling upon Sears (Ok I know what you’re thinking), but I’m telling you they have the best selection of handbags you can think of, no joke. I don’t know about the Sears in the States, but the big ones in Canada actually have quite the impressive bag collection and of course my David Jones handbag was sitting there…waiting for me!
I decided to go with something summery, and since I have bags in every color imaginable, I realized I did not have an orange handbag, which is what my eye caught on one of the David Jones shelves. A perfect sized log handbag in orange leather and with metal ring detail on the handle and sides. Thankfully, it also had a million compartments: 2 on the side for your phone, and three in the middle (a bit too much for me, but I can get around that!).
I was trying to find some sort of site or store for David Jones and actually found out that David Jones is the oldest department store in the world that has kept its original name. Hmm…and I thought it was a designer! Nevertheless, I still love the bags no matter what! Oh and by the way as you can probably see, I could not find the David Jones bag that I bought anywhere online…I am very disappointed!! But I will keep looking and post it when I find it or I’ll just end up taking a picture of mine!

OMG! I too found the perfect handbag — a cognac-colored satchel with two pockets in front– just last Friday. Little did I know that the designer, David Jones, was the name of my fiancee!!! Was it meant to be or what? The store I found the purse in (Porters, Royal Bank Plaza, downtown Toronto) only had one other David Jones handbag and I’ve been on the hunt ever since. Thanks for the tip!! I guess I have a reason to frequent Sears now.

I bought a David Jones purse while I was in Europe, at a boutique in either Germany or Switzerland. I haven’t been able to find one like it on the net anywhere I’ve searched. I’d love to get one for my mom who loves mine, but it seems impossible….so sad!!! I wish so badly I would’ve bought her one while I was in Europe.

I just bought a beautiful yellow David Jones purse at Winners on the west coast of Canada.
It was just what I was looking for. A fun spring/summer color with lots of compartments.
I’m sure that there are other David Jones bags at Winners. Also price was very reasonable.

I wasn’t aware of this brand until today. Just got a beige/off-white bag from Winners (Spadina & King) for $50 plus tax. I’m not sure what’s the proper name for the shape of my new bag is but it’s of a soft light material. Very nice design for work days and weekend. I will definitely consider other DJ bag designs in the future.

I got my bag in Madrid! very reasonable price and I love it, its just the right size!

I boughttwo DJ bags in Madrid (Nov 2008). I am constantly being complimented on them. The one I carry everyday is a cross over body (travel) bag. It is mostly black fabric with the front having a leather panel, it’s like a pocket with a snap closure as well as a side zipper compartment. There is a zippered compartment on the back also. It is not a very large bag, maybe 9in X 12in. It has a very durable adjustable fabric strap too. If I could find it again, I’d purchase two of them. I don’t understand why I can’t find a david jones handbags website, especially since they have the stand-alone handbag stores.
