Dooney & Bourke is an American luxury brand founded in 1975 by Peter Dooney and Frederic Bourke in Norwalk, Connecticut. The brand initially gained prominence through its high-quality leather goods, specifically belts and suspenders, before expanding into its signature 'All-Weather Leather' handbags in the early 1980s. The company remains a private, American-owned entity headquartered in Norwalk.

While the brand maintains its American heritage and design roots, its manufacturing processes have evolved over decades. Historically produced in the United States, Dooney & Bourke now utilizes a global manufacturing network. Today, their products are crafted in various locations including the United States, China, Italy, and Mexico, depending on the specific product line and materials used. The brand is known for its distinctive 'DB' monogram patterns and leather craftsmanship that blends classic New England style with modern functionality.
