Hello, I'm really new to Dooney Bourke and just a few days into TPF. I'm hoping for some more info on this purse. I've looked on HorseKeeping and didn't see the style. I've also called the Dooney Bourke 1-800 number and was told there was no information on that number because the original owner had not registered it. None of the brass hardware says Dooney Bourke. Thanks so much!
This style looks like an Over & Under Small Tack Bag - R148. http://www.horsekeeping.com/Dooney/OU/446-tack-sm-blbt.htm

This looks like an Equestrian bag that I own in the black and purchased in the 90's. However, let BB comment if authentic.
Yea, I've been wanting an equestrian so this was a good deal for $25. Right now I have a black/tan carrier, a black/tan tote, and a mushroom/tan small essex. I love their vintage bags. Started collecting a month ago actually. Haha.

This is a dooney & Bourke that I won on a siet. I just recieved It and am very suspicious of it being fake. It has a tag thai it red blue and off white. Says made in usa. Tag # B 2 177749
Please if anyone can tell me anything I will be happy that you can help. And appreciate it.
As a non-member, I can only see the main picture and can't read the description, comments or see other pictures.

Without knowing that the pictures are the seller's own pictures of the actual item and seeing more pictures of the bag, it's impossible to comment on it.

I will say that there have been many posts on this forum, especially in the Coach section and they're strongly anti-Listia. I am uncomfortable with Listia for several reasons.


  • At one time, Listia had several members who were known on multiple sites for their expertise in authenticating designer items. Instead of appreciating the free service they offered to Listia and its members, Listia allowed members to block those members and subsequently suspended them.
  • Listia will only remove fakes if the seller admits it to be fake or if the seller isn't sure of authenticity. Thus, many of the dishonest sellers simply lie, stating that items are authentic. Buyers get ripped off with fakes.
  • When buyers or sellers are told (in comments) that their item is fake, they are allowed to attack the person who simply states the truth. Instead of punishing those sellers who list fakes, listia turns a blind eye.
Unless and until Listia is proactive in making and keeping its site safe, I recommend other sites where there is action taken on reports of fakes.



I'm sorry that I can't tell you what you want to hear but without being able to see all the pictures in a listing, I can't help.
