the only thing i can go off of is the tag and it looks good. i think i've seen pix of bags like this before. it doesn't look shoddy or give me any reason to think otherwise! that price so far is a steal btw!

ps- i'm no expert so hopefully some other DB clad ladies speak up!

I just found a Signature Tassel at the thrift. This one is a Tapestry is but many details are the same, bag looks good to me. Pretty color! Keep in mind the retail was probably only around $160.

Hi Can you Authenticate this DOONEY Mini Zip Zip Cabriolet Satchel. The seller said there is no cloth tag on the inside...but the rest of the bag does look authentic to me.

This I guess is an older satchel so I'm not sure about the size. The only place that carries this bag anymore is QVC (which I guess Dooney makes exclusively for them) and it is like you said a few inches larger. I've actually been tempted to buy a new one from QVC, I want the blue, but the only thing that stops me is it does not have a cell phone pocket. For $222 it should for crying out loud. Its an older design bag that was popular when everybody did not have a cell phone but come on Dooney now days who does not carry a phone. I think its bad business and cheap of them not to update the bag to add a cell phone pocket on the opposite side of the crappy snap in pocket it does have, what am I supposed to do with my phone just throw it loose in my bag ? For $222 ?
This is a real sticking point with me...

I actually have the small Cabriolet satchel in Navy sold by QVC. I use my pursebrite, with all the pockets, inside the satchel along with some wristlet pouches to hold my smaller stuff.

That first link doesn't seem to be working so here are some photos of the bag in question.

I honestly haven't seen this bag before. Maybe someone who has a bigger cabriolet satchel might be able to authenticate. The patches on the inside seem to be very un-dooneylike.

I thought the patches looked funny too because in my Small Cabriolet Satchel there is brass hardware that holds the handles on. But then I thought about the size of this red one being a Mini and maybe they did the patches because the brass plates would take up too much room in this size bag or get in the way? Not sure?

I wonder if anyone owns a Mini and can say for sure? I'ld like to own a Mini Cabriolet someday since I love my small one so much!

Unless the previous user decided to cover them up with some sort of patch? Dooney doesn't usually do that. Their brass hardware is either fixed underneath the lining (so you can't see it at all) or really well fixed on the inside so it is flush with the inside surface and no protrusuions (like in your bag, Smiling Shoes)

i wouldn't trust that bag, those patches throw a red flag up if you ask me. that doesn't look like ANY dooney lining i've ever seen in my life either. meh.

That is whispering FAKE in my ear...ask to see the tag and numbers on the back of it...Just curious as to what that looks like.
