I am trying to find out what the style and year are for this cute little Dooney I have owned for several years. It's very small 8.5" long X 6.5" tall X 3" wide. I have no doubt it's authentic but I'd really like to know what Alto style it is. Thanks!

Dooney and Bourke Crocodile Print Leather w/ Bamboo Handles (reddish brown color)
No links available (see attached photos)

I purchased several Dooney & Bourke purses in the 90's and early 2000's. I was going to list this one on an online auction, but through research I found one just like this--only with a tag sewn inside left of the pocket. My bag does not have a tag, so now I am confused. I do not recall ever purchasing a purse from any source other than a large department store. Can you help? Thank you in advance!

I don't see anything that indicates your bag isn't authentic and I wouldn't hesitate to list it.

Does your bag have any strings that look like they might be the remnants of a tag that may have been cut out? Is there anything in the pocket or under the flap? I don't know why there's no tag although it's possible that it's a mistake and they forgot to put it in.

Those pictures are awful but I think it might be okay.

But I don't recommend bidding or buying unless you can get the seller to send a few better pictures. I'd like to see a clear picture of the open bag showing the red, white and blue tag attached as well as pictures of both sides of the tag with serial number.

Thank you. I'll ask for pictures of the tag.
