That looks okay. I think it came as part of a package deal from QVC.

Default believe this is a fake
I have had this FOREVER and I have never used it. One of my friends were cleaning out their closets in high school and handed it to me. I highly doubt it's real, because, I don't think she would have handed it to me like that if it was- but you never know! There's a tag inside that says "Made in China," so IDK. TIA!

Although Dooney (like many other companies) has outsourced its manufacturing to other countries including China, this bag didn't come from Dooney. Sorry, but the zipper pull is the giveaway. They never used that type of pull.

Hi ladies! Please look at this Dooney & let me know if it's authentic. I might put more pics on in a 2nd thread. Please be patient; I'm still learning how to upload pics on here. Thank you very much!! Marnie

Marnee, your bag is absolutely authentic and gorgeous! It's from their ostrich collection, though it isn't real ostrich but embossed to look the part.

Thank you, BeenBurned! I got it at a yard sale and paid $12.00. Now I feel better! I knew I wouldn't carry it if it wasn't real, but it wasn't a lot of money so I took the chance. I appreciate you taking the time to look at it for me.

Sheesh! I never find anything good at yard sales or thrift shops. Great find! Congrats!

Definitely authentic. It's shaped like a Norfolk but I don't know whether the signature styles were actually called Norfolk. It might just be called a domed satchel.

You might be more apt to get a more definitive style name if you post on the ebay purse boards. there are a couple of Dooney posters who are "encyclopedias" of style names and model numbers!

It's authentic from the "charm" line of about 3 years ago.

As for cleaning it, I have no idea whether Dooney would clean it. I kind of think not. I'd think their items aren't high end enough to make it cost effective for them to offer the service. But you could probably hand-wash it yourself with Woolite or another gentle cleaning product.

This bag isn't leather. It's a coated cotton, similar to the IT line. So you wouldn't be soaking leather. Even if it were leather,there have been ebay board discussions from people who have given Coach leather bags baths. So it could be done. But I've never done it.

i disagree - that bag is real!
i know someone with that and the zipper pull looks exactly like that and it came a dooney store! i hope you can still get it!
the stores sometimes have bags that are made especially for just that store! it will have something that is totally different from the same bag at another location and even the online dooney site.

Bag princess, you are mistaken.

This is NOT a zipper pull that Dooney has ever used:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/09...s/CIMG2719.jpg

Dooney did have a signature line that used this type of zipper pull. And sometimes there was this type of fob with a leather zipper pull. '
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/09...s/CIMG2717.jpg

Additionally, the hardware that holds the handles is wrong. And if you were to compare the weight of the fabric to a genuine Dooney, the fabric would be flimsy and lack body.

But the bag is question is absolutely NOT authentic.

If you would like further opinions, there are more Dooney experts on ebay than here. I recommend that you might post on the question and pictures on the boards: http://forums.ebay.com/db2/forum/Sho...And/1000000009

As far as fakes go, looks-wise, this is a "decent" fake, but it's still a fake.
