Dooney & Bourke

I am a huge outlet shopper, and this is hands down my favorite outlet. I have never left this store empty handed! This particular outlet has a lot of merchandise — everything from huge bags to phone cases.
The tags on the actual items do not always reflect the true price of the item, normally the entire store is 30 to 50% off, it can’t hurt to ask the store clerk for the actual price. The staff here is very friendly and willing to help and give their honest opinion.
With some outlets I feel like I am getting «second hand» quality, and the products at the outlets aren’t as nice as the products in the regular stores. This is not the case with Dooney & Burke. Every single item in the store is beautiful and comparable to department store items.
The location of this outlet is not ideal. The Reading Outlets have taken a turn for the worst recently, and Dooney and Burke is their only gem.

Love D & B bags and always look for a bargain. This store has a very nice selection with great sales. I don’t live far from the outlets and get to stop by frequently.
The staff on the other hand is pretentious, unfriendly and looks down on you if your not dressed in designer attire. I would rather wait to go to another outlet store in PA to buy a designer bag than be offended by this crew. They havent learned that you cant judge a book by its cover.
Good luck ladies.

Great outlet store that sells a range of recent styles at really good prices. I’m not a huge D&B fan but I highly recommend this store to anyone who is an avid fan. The products are nicely displayed with helpful store representatives to answer any questions you may have. There is plenty of parking out front.

My wife is a Dooney nut. She loves going here. The purses are typically half off or some bundled deal.
They have a friendly and knowledgable staff always ready to help out. The variety of merchandise is second to none for Dooney in PA.

One of the truly great outlets left in Reading. Used to be the Outlet Capital of the World, but most of the outlets left the area. But D&B is great customer service and great selection, with great prices. Worth a look!

The first time we visited the Reading Outlet Mall, I wandered into the Dooney and Bourke store — which, in retrospect, may not have been the best thing to do because, much to my great surprise, I ended up buying a bag. Before I got pulled to the dark side, I never gave designer bags much thought. Sure, some of them were nice looking. However, the prices weren’t so nice sounding. That all changed when I first entered this store.
There, right in front of me, was a bag I just had to have. You know how you see something that catches your eye but your rational mind tells you that you don’t need it but that devil on your shoulder keeps telling you «go for it»? Yeah… that’s what happened to me. It didn’t help that the salesclerk who roams the store came up to me to tell me that the bag was 40% off.
This store has a decent selection — far better than any department store. The thing with the outlet stores is that the stock isn’t exactly the same as the department store stock. The outlet store stock is similar but with minor variations. A clerk at a Macy’s once tried to tell me that the Dooney outlet store has bags that are really out of fashion. Don’t believe it — it’s not out of fashion, just slightly different, but current, styles.
So…I wandered around the store ooohing and aahing so many bags and accessories. It also didn’t help that the coupon booklet that you get at the information booth at the outlet center had a coupon for Dooney and Bourke. So… I gave in and got the bag. But… the coupon was telling me that if I just got a couple more things, I could get a free gift! So… I found a couple of small items for our daughter — and voila! I could get the freebie — a keychain worth $ 20!
I sent our daughter the gifts and the keychain which all took her further to the dark side — further because, she already has a couple of Coach bags but now wants Dooney, too!
I just visited this store again this past weekend — and found an umbrella that matches my bag — and — it was 50% off!
Much as I love browsing in this store, I’m sure glad that I don’t live near it! So… visit at your own risk… be warned… you may end up leaving with a much lighter wallet LOL!
Just note that this store shares a small building with Black and Decker. Our son-​in-​law saw that and said, «They’re in the same place with Black and Decker?» To which our daughter said, «They’re two separate stores so you won’t find power drills next to the purses.»
