Ok, I also asked on another board I am on and they think this bag is from the Parasol line of Dooney & Bourke. I did look and it does match those style bags. They were all made in Italy as well.
Still not getting why it has 3 digits..... |

I believe it's authentic. Have you tried posting on the ebay purse board?

Been: I have posted it over there. I really think it is authentic too, although it does not have the rubber bottom of the Parasole line, so that isnt it.
I just love a good mistery dont you! LOL |

I have a couple of comments to make about the bag. I've seen lots of fakes, both in person and online. As the counterfeiters get better, they try to do things that make the bags appear (to the average person) authentic. 1. I've never seen a fake with a serial number in the CORRECT font 2. I've never seen a fake with a proper country code ("I" is Italy) 3. I have seen fakes with red/white/blue tags but usually the weave of the fabric is off, the colors are off, the tag is sewn in upside-down, etc. 4. Your bag has the interior leather that is the same buttery soft leather that's in the big duck coin purses. I respectfully disagree with Bag-princess. |

and that is ok with me! ![]() aimee - why not simply call dooney and bourke??? go straight to the real expert! i have done this with bags - i would not mention if you got it on ebay though if you did! they don't seem to care for that. and it sometimes took me several calls to get a rep that was nice and friendly and willing to help and knew what they were talking about. all i had to do was give them the number on the tag and they told me if it was indeed real or not. one rep was really nice and told me the line the bag came from AND where it was sold!! most will NOT and will try and get you to send the bag in to them or say that they can't determine anything by the number alone but it can be done!that is how i know that the ONLY dooney bags made in italy are the ones that i listed -ALTO,BOLDRINI,FLORENTINE VACHETTA. the rep told me this when i asked about a bag before. this bag looks like it could be older discontinued line and is no longer made that was indeed produced in italy. if it is really important to you then go straight to the source to find out and put it to rest finally. i know it would drive me crazy! good luck to you!!!!

You got your answer on the ebay boards (and in 2 places). It confirmed what I said, but the poster also had the exact name and style number. http://forums.ebay.com/db2/topic/Sho...&#msg512714310 http://forums.ebay.com/db2/topic/Clo...&#msg512714311 |

I just found out from www.dooney.com live help that the 3 digit stamp is an inspectors stamp, which was in many bags made outside the US in 2000, the year the bag was made.
So now I can list this bag and not always wonder about it. Thanks everyone for the extra help on this one! |

In fact, someone asked about that same wallet on the ebay boards and was told the same thing: http://forums.ebay.com/db2/topic/Sho...&#msg512733301 |
