The most fashionable Eagles fans will arrive at a Super Bowl party on Sunday carrying something classier than a cheesesteak.
Dooney & Bourke has a super line of bags, wallets and wristlets that are resplendent in Eagles green with the team’s signature bird of prey logo. They are trimmed in tasteful brown leather and accented with Dooney & Bourke’s gold-tone insignia.
Styles include the new DOONEY & BOURKE Leather Collection Lily Bucket Bag ($398), Leather Zip Around Phone Wristlet ($148), Leather Slim Wristlet ($108), Leather North South Triple Zip Crossbody ($198) and the Leather Credit Card Billfold ($78), as well as the Nylon Crossbody Pouchette ($98) and Continental Clutch ($128).
All have a durable exterior shell. No worries if you take your cheesesteak “whiz”–that means with the traditional Cheez Whiz topping–and drip a blob on the bag. It will wipe right off.
I checked out the slim and stylish Ginger Crossbody bag (MSRP: $148). It’s sized just right: 6.25 inches high, 2.25 inches deep and 8.75 inches long. The bag is compact but there is still plenty of room for whatever a fan needs, with a front slip pocket, an inside zip pocket, a cell phone pocket and two inside pockets. It’s fully lined, in keeping with the quality we have come to expect from Dooney & Bourke. The adjustable strap has a drop length of 25 inches.
A crossbody strikes me as the ideal bag for a big Super Bowl party, leaving hands free to nibble South Philly-style meatballs, down a Yards Philadelphia Pale Ale, and perform all the moves to “Fly Eagles Fly” as we cheer the Birds on to certain victory in Super Bowl LII.
