Hi,
I am thinking about bidding on this bag on ebay. It ends in 2 and half hours.
it is the Double Buckle tote in Ivy.
The ivy color is dark green and the leather is dark brown.
But, In the picture the leather looks purplish it too me.
Is this bag an authentic double buckle tote?

I think I know which bag you are talking about, if it is the same one, then yes, the bag is authentic.

Hi!

I don't often post here, but I know this forum has a multitude of bag experts, so I thought I'd come to the best place with the most wealth of knowledge.

I made a trip to TJ Maxx today, and on a whim, bought the below Dooney bag. I know that TJ Maxx, by law, has to sell authentic Dooney bags.

However, when I brought it home, upon closer inspection, I saw that the bag does not have its red, white, and blue label inside the bag which normally has the bag's ID number. Do Dooney bags ALWAYS have to have that tag inside the bag?

On the red Dooney tag, it is described as a Small Buckle Satchel. The style number is MG36 RD. I purchased this for $119.99 plus tax, and it normally retails for $210.00. Inside the bag, below the zipper, it says 'Dooney & Bourke' in a light blue, serif font on the leather trim, then it says 'Made In Italy' beneath that.

Lastly, the bottom of the bag has five feet. I thought that Dooney bags typically have an 'even' number of feet on the bag, if they have feet at all. I have enclosed a photo of this bag. Can anyone tell whether this is a legitimate bag?

I appreciate any input you can provide, as I want to ensure that the money I have spent is on an authentic bag. Thanks so much for your help!!! :yes:

no they don't always have that tag in them - and most will not when they are purchased at an outlet store. not having one doesn't mean the bag isn't real. it simply means that dooney has had it removed so that they will know it was an outlet purchase. having said that - i have never seen this bag before or anything like it from D&B!

I know nothing about D&B bags so is there anyway to tell if this is authentic from these pics?

Thanks!

ACTUALLY... the bags at the outlets DO have the tags, they just cut them in half when they are sent off to the outlets

not all of them do this. my sister has a friend that works at an outlet and they were told to completely remove the tag from the bag.
