jcmurp, you did good. Nice bags you found! Glad to see the sticker on the Carrier, that has got to be the right name! The cut tag means it is from the outlet. I haven't seen AWL made outside the US much, has to be one of the last AWL made. The other is from the Cavalry series, there are two sizes of the hard bottom type [this one is the smaller], a tiny belt bag and at least one round bottom soft bag around.

You really know your D&B Kathyy!!! I used to own that exact bag from the Cavalry series years ago, I think that style is called the Spectator.
 
Thank you myblackbag. I love Dooney but have outgrown it. Too small for me now.

I have a small Spectator with the leather tab/brass button closing. Do you happen to know what that one was called? It was my first Dooney and I wore it for a year straight. Then I caught the purse bug and got a seriously wandering eye.
 
Ok... So just last night I fell in love with this bag... it's rare... and amazing... HOWEVER- it DOESN'T have a serial number... does that mean it's a fake?! This is my first time buying vintage dooney from online, I usually buy it at Von Maur...


If it IS a fake (which I hope not) since I sent her the payment only a few hours ago... is there a way to cancel that on PayPal!?!


I am soooo nervous!!!!!!!!!! I am like flipping out... I pride myself in NEVER carrying or owning fakes... and this is HORRIBLE!!!

PLEASE HELP!!

(I promise I'm not crazy... just stressed and tired!) lol
 
Hey you!

Do me a quick favor...take a deep breath...that's good, that's good...ok, now...

You'll be ok!!! I promise!!! If you got pics, we can help you out, or just post the link...that will be quicker!!!
