Comment: Please note the "eyeless duck" emblem and the interior pocket. A very interesting bag if authentic. Any additional information appreciated. Thanks!
that's really different.

I've seen ducks with flattened bodies and worn details however I've not seen any with a Neiman Marcus stamped pocket.

It's very possible that Dooney did make an exclusive bag for NM and I don't see anything that indicates that the bag isn't authentic.
 
If authentic, I believe this is called a Medium Tote gr947? If so, it seems to be missing the key clochette. Thank you, experts! :smile1:

Hi there, picked up this cute bag today at goodwill. Red Nylon, with bright pink interior. Is it authentic? If so, name and age would be greatly appreciated. Anyone have advice on cleaning it? The red nylon is dirty. should I keep the leather out of the water? Thanks a bunch!

This bag is on Pinterest but was on sale at Etsy. It has been sold. I am baffled, bothered and bewildered by this bag...mostly cause the back does not match my Big Duck bag. Help!

The red big duck bag pictured looks fine except that it appears to be missing the strap. I'm not sure what you mean about the back not matching your bag but this picture on Pinterest doesn't show the back.

If you have a link to the Etsy listing, please post that link.

Regarding the posting format, it's not necessary to link to post #1 but that post shows the information we need. (Fill in the blanks.)

@BB, here is the link to Etsy. It will say on top that item has sold but keep scrolling down and you will see the original listing. I don't get why the tabs on the side flaps appear to be permanently attached. The second is after "All Weather Leather" where is the Reserved symbol? And the back of my vintage Duck is...bare compared to that one.
