The Flower and Garden Festival offers Disney World Guests a wide variety of experiences, from trying delicious food and drink items — like the iconic Violet Lemonade! — to checking out the famous topiaries around the World Showcase, it’s a fan-favorite event year after year.

This year, however, one shopper has noticed a fairly major mistake with the new Orange Bird Dooney & Bourke print. The high-end purse brand frequently releases Disney designs, so an error is certainly out of character.

TikTok user Danielle was “ready to buy” the bag until she realized the print had a flaw. In a video [below], she explained:

“The struggle when you are an Orange Bird perfectionist and you’re looking at this beautiful Dooney & Bourke that costs $228, until you realize there’s an error. He’s missing his stomach. What the heck? C’mon dude.”
