QVC's selling a 'comfortable to carry' $240 Dooney & Bourke crossbody bag for $92

Yahoo23-04-2025

You likely have a few handbags in your closet — some that are casual, some that are dressy, some that add a pop of color to your outfit, and some that are big enough to carry all of your essentials to work and beyond. However, one quintessential bag every woman needs is a simple black crossbody bag. Why? It goes with everything, never goes out of style and it can effortlessly carry all of your belongings. If you don't have one yet, well, we found a popular Dooney & Bourke leather crossbody bag for just $92 at QVC — that's 60% off.
The Connecticut-based fashion brand is known for its luxury leather goods, especially handbags — they're high-quality and stand the test of time. They'll often, though, set you back several hundred dollars, which is why we were excited to find this piece for under $100. Plus, D&B's crossbody bag goes with everything, so when you consider the cost per wear, it's worth every penny.
New to QVC? Score an extra $15 off your first $35 order with code HELLO15. And if you don't want to pay it all in one go, take advantage of QVC's Easy Pay offer and have your items ship right away, while you pay for them in interest-free monthly installments.
This 100% genuine leather Dooney & Bourke crossbody bag is a good buy for a few reasons. For starters, it has an adjustable strap that's comfortable to wear across your body, but you can shorten it to wear it like a shoulder bag if you prefer. It also has a zipper closure on the top, so your things stay securely inside, and a front zipper pocket for stashing your phone, keys or anything else you want at the ready.
Inside, it's lined with soft cotton and it has three slip pockets, a zipper pocket and a key keeper, which is essentially a long strap to attach your keys and keep them from getting lost in there.
While the bag isn't that big — it's 10.25 inches wide, 10.5 inches tall and 4 inches deep, it's roomy enough inside to hold all the things. Think of it as your minimalist sidekick, whether you take it grocery shopping, on your next vacation, out for a fancy dinner date or on a walk around the neighborhood. Another plus: It's lightweight, clocking in at just over one and a half pounds!
Nearly 1,200 QVC shoppers give the crossbody five stars — fans give it high marks for versatility and say it's comfy to carry.
"I love this purse," said one reviewer. "It's comfortable to carry crossbody, allowing me to use it hands-free. I love the security and convenience of the outer zipped compartment for my large iPhone. The pockets inside keep things organized. The look of it is high-quality. And it's easily wiped clean."
Another shopper appreciated the bag's pockets and overall organization. "Fits all of my belongings well," they explained. "Has a key strap for keys, so they don't get buried and lost at the bottom of your purse. Has good convenient pockets for your belongings so you can stay organized."
One loyal Dooney & Bourke fan attested to its timeless craftsmanship. "I've purchased many Dooney & Burke handbags in the past — they are still like new to this day. They are made very well and durable," they said, before adding, "I have two of these crossbody handbags and I love using them so much. You can fit a lot in, but it feels light on your shoulder. I like that you can change to a long strap or a shorter strap."
Some reviewers say they wish the Dooney & Bourke bag had a wider strap or was wider in general to match their personal preferences.
"It's a beautiful bag, but I find it too deep for my needs. I need a wide rather than deep bag," said one.
Added another shopper: "I like the size of this crossbody. Not too small, not too big. I can actually travel and hold everything, including my large sunglasses, large phone and makeup bag. My only wish is that the strap was wider."
"I like this bag better than I thought I would. To improve it, I would suggest it be a little wider so it's easier to get into. It also needs a more comfortable shoulder strap," said a final customer.
Looking for a tote instead? Perhaps a shoulder purse? QVC carries over 180 of Dooney & Bourke's leather bags — and many of them are on sale. Scroll down for some of our favorites.

'And Just Like That…' Season 3 dabbles in dating app fatigue

"I spend every waking hour scrolling, swiping, texting, and it's all just hurtful or meaningless." In one brief venting moment, over a couple of Gimlets in a crowded Manhattan bar, And Just Like That… Season 3 takes aim at dating in 2025. In episode 2, Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) and her former neighbour Lisette (Katerina Tannenbaum) are catching up in a New York hotspot, when Lisette expresses her frustration at how involved technology is with her dating life. "It's actually not about him, it's about this," she says, pointing to her iPhone. "My phone is who I am in a relationship with…I'm so sick of it, I'm so done." To drive home the point, Lisette then accidentally tosses her phone across the bar and conveniently hits a handsome stranger, who then buys them both Gimlets, wheels in motion. It's not a subtle message: meeting IRL is the way. Lisette's not alone at this moment; she's embodying dating app fatigue. SEE ALSO: Sick of dating apps? Try a dungeon sound bath instead. "Is it any wonder 79 per cent of Gen Z daters and 80 per cent of millennial daters feel burnt out by dating apps, according to a 2024 study by Forbes Health?" writes Mashable's Rachel Thompson in her book, The Love Fix. "This is unsurprising given that these apps are now engineered to keep people active on these apps for as long as possible. To the apps, you're at your most valuable when you're an active user — trapped in the revolving door of swiping, matching, chatting. Where's the incentive to make dating apps work better, to allow your most valuable assets to break free?" Featured Video For You 'Babes' and the portrayal of period sex on screen Lisette even projects assumptions about single women "having it better" when courting in the 19th century — a trend that rears its head every time a new season of Bridgerton lands. When Carrie mentions that her house in Gramercy was built in the 1840s and that she loves picturing the women who lived there before her, Lisette cannonballs into venting about dating in 2025, describing being stood up by a psychiatrist whose text messages are deeply patronising. "It must have been so much easier to be single back then," Lisette says. "I mean, it's such a messed-up time to be dating." "It's no secret that singles have been disenchanted with dating apps lately," Mashable's Anna Iovine writes. "Users complain that apps are copying each other with similar features and encourage bad behavior like ghosting, and they're trying to branch out into IRL activities instead (even dungeon sound baths)." Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis, and Cynthia Nixon in "And Just Like That..." Season 3. Credit: Craig Blankenhorn / Max Sex and the City and And Just Like That… have always dipped a toe in the relationship between sex, dating, relationships, and technology, though the former ended in 2004 before the dating app boom of the 2010s. Sex and the City dabbled in the online dating space in Season 2, episode 12, when Carrie's best friend Stanford (Willie Garson) met user "Bigtool4u" in a chatroom as "Rick9+" then IRL at a bar. And Just Like That… tried its hand with dating app discourse in Season 1. In episode 7, Carrie, a longtime tech agnostic, tries dating apps for the first time after the death of her husband (her publisher Amanda (Ashlie Atkinson) encourages her to go on a date to give her readers "some element of hope" at the end of her book on grief). Signed up by Seema (Sarita Choudhury) to an ambiguous dating platform, she swipes through a couple of profiles before she matches with 53-year-old widower Peter (Jon Tenney) and goes on a decent date with him (yes, it ends with them puking in the street, but it's still nice). Here, And Just Like That... missed an opportunity to connect with modern dating as it actually stands, as Carrie's experience really doesn't do justice to the real dating app fatigue users might identify with. Swiping through countless profiles has become synonymous with dating apps, with some apps like Tinder adding swiping limits and others like Bumble prone to cutting you off if they think you're on a swiping frenzy As Thompson writes in her book, "Dating, especially online dating, often feels like a numbers game — with emphasis on 'game.'" And luckily for Carrie, her experience doesn't include the complex "talking stage," the pressure around meeting up IRL, and the possibility of being ghosted, cloaked, or stood up. It's pretty breezy, right up until they both vomit in the gutter together. Seema (Sarita Choudhury) has a terrible experience with an IRL matchmaker. Credit: Craig Blankenhorn / Max Despite flouting real 2025 dating woes, Season 3 of And Just Like That… seems to be actively spurning all forms of digital connection at every turn. In the first episode, Seema quite literally sets her apartment on fire while waiting for a video call from her long-distance partner. But dating IRL doesn't get much easier for our characters — Miranda's (Cynthia Nixon) "dating bingo" goes terribly initially, and Seema's decision to use an in-person matchmaking service is a very disempowering experience for her. Entirely defined by Aidan's (John Corbett) set boundaries of communication, Carrie's long-distance relationship is portrayed as awkward and solitary — and mostly played out on smartphone. For the most part, branded with an unattainable "easy breezy" Cool Girl energy this season, Carrie is allowed fleetingly human moments of frustration over Aidan's lack of contact, constantly checking her phone for responses that come in mere emoji form. "Texting and emojis are not a relationship," Carrie vents to Miranda. "A relationship is standing across from someone and saying, 'What you do think?' and then they say, 'What do you think?'" Phone sex is deeply unsexy in Season 3, with a cringeworthy scene between Carrie and Aidan in the first episode. Thrown off by her staring kitten, Carrie fakes an orgasm on a call with Aidan and feels uncomfortable afterwards, deeming herself disingenuous. "I faked phone sex…and now I feel dishonest," she says to Miranda and Charlotte. Essentially, nobody wins when it comes to technology, sex, and relationships in And Just Like That... Season 3. It's reminiscent of a broader fatigue beyond the show, and may have people throwing their phones across bars just to fuck around and find out. And Just Like That... Season 3, episode 2 is now streaming on HBO Max, with new episodes out Thursdays.

Her set – which included a cover of Bob Marley's' 'Is This Love' – was proof that her artistry is, indeed, unstoppable and brilliant. Arriving to passionate screams, Tems told the crowd she was happy to be back onstage at what was her first show in London of 2025. Her set pulled heavily from her genre-blending debut Born in the Wild, expertly brought to life with Tems' hip-shaking stage presence, top-notch vocals and backed by a tight six-piece band. Alongside her biggest hits, Tems played songs for her 'day ones,' including 'Higher,' showcasing vocal excellence in moments both euphoric and intimate. Fan favorite 'Found' saw Tems share the mic with eager stans in the front row and duetting on the song's memorable chorus. 'Love Me Jeje' brought the vibrant party to Troxy's historic dance floor, with its art-deco features withstanding the bouncing energy Tems and the crowd created together.
