It looks authentic to me. I had a similar bag made around the same time as that type of bag and the interior appears to be correct as well as the exterior. I used to work in the handbag dept at Hudsons (now Macy's) during the time when these were sold and I truly think you snagged a great deal. In fact, I'm a little jealous. lol Even though you didn't ask, you may have been wondering if it was authentic because the inside pockets are not cowhide like the rest of the purse. Don't worry. D&B made them like that. I hope this rests your mind. Enjoy your purse!

do you know what the lining ion the sides is made out of, because their are pen marks that i want to see about getting them removed. maybe go get a professional to clean it, some how?? and the outside i was told maybe a baby wipe to clean it??

Now I'm not sure about that. I thought the inside of the purse was just the inside of the cowhide. But the pockets - I don't know if they are some type of nylon or if it is coated canvas. I'm sorry. I also don't know anything about the baby wipes from personal experience. There are many tpf'ers who use them. Maybe they will see this thread and give a better a opinion.

I just saw a photo of this bag and the owner posted a photo of a paper sticker under the pocket that had carpet on it. So this is a carpet bag! Look under the pockets, maybe it is still there!

The lining is the back of the leather so is very sturdy. You could try to remove the ink marks with nail polish remover, hair spray or rubbing alcohol but it is likely to just smear.

The pockets on most Dooneys are fabric backed vinyl. Look at the wrong side, you see the knit backing.

You are not supposed to use anything but a damp cloth on this leather. It is tumbled to shrink the pores so it is water repellent. *If* it isn't go ahead and use that baby wipe or saddle soap. Old Dooneys lose the water repellent quality. The dye on the leather may be wearing off as well.

Congratulations on your find. This is a beautiful bag.

cadillactaste, do you have the bag in hand? Look for a tag inside, ask the seller. This is a newer line that ought to have it. Looks like a glove leather bag to me. Very nice leather. Is the buckle a working one?

jj7madrid, nobody that knows that designer will see your post. Repost in a new post if there isn't a sticky for the designer. Sorry!

Cute bag and I am pretty sure that it's authentic.

Hi Dooney experts - I got a Lg Compartment AWL bag in bright red a long time ago. Love the color but I can not fit all my junk in it..I carry 3 hardshell glass cases plus..I would like to sell but do you know if these bags were faked? I would be happy to show you pics but have no idea how to do that. I do not want to be involved in fakes ever so if there is a chance, I will not list it. There is an ivory one on ebay just like it. Let me know if you know of any way I could positively verify..thnx in advance!

Kathyy · Nov 27th, 2007, 05:36 PM

Avian, could you try to link the auction? Not sure what the bag looks like.
