Hi D & B gals,

I know nothing about Dooney- can you tell me what pics to include for a listing, for authenticity purposes?

Thanks!

I just got a bag from a girl in a trade. I have never owned a Dooney and Bourke before. The tags on the inside check out BUT how do I get the Number on the inside authenticated?? I tried on the side but I need other information I dont have. HELP!!!

Both are fine. First one is a tassel tote (zip top) and the second is a signature hobo with AWL trim.

Not all pictures prove authenticity, but as a buyer (and a seller) I like to include front, back, side, bottom, zipper and pull, interior, both sides of red/white/blue tag.

Hi!! I am new to this purse forum but I have hopefully found a new home here! WOW there is a lot of info here! I am hoping someone will help me authenticate this Dooney. I know literally nothing about the Signature line. It does have a Made in China tag next to the serial # tag but I heard that some of the authentic ones do have that? thanks all!

I think this bag was authenticated on the ebay boards. It's authetnic.

Are you just trying to find out if the bag is authentic? If so, you can post pictures here. I've seen fakes with "serial numbers," but the font is incorrect and/or the letter-number sequence is wrong. If you post pictures and it's confirmed as authentic, you can call Dooney's 1-800 number and they can give you specific information regarding the serial number.

Hello, I just acquired this older Dooney and would like to know if it's real. Thanks!

Sorry but it's fake. The 2-toned all weather leather is a giveaway but the hardware, pocket color and material and the hardware are all wrong. Can you get your money back?

Hello,

Thanks so much! I was going to list it on eBay for one of my mom's friends, but wanted to make sure it was authentic first! I didn't think they made fakes of the older Dooney's like that, but now I know they do! I will definitely be giving it back to her and letting her know. Thanks again :)
