Please help identify this one. I bought it at TJ Maxx several years ago, but can't remember a thing about it nor what I did with the card that came with it. (shakes head) Thanks! :D

Also, I've checked eBay's open & closed listings without any luck of finding anything close to it.
It's authentic and appears to be some type of zip top but without seeing the strap, it's hard to definitively identify the style.

Thanks BeenBurned. The strap is not removable or adjustable and relatively short in length at about 38".

Sorry I don't have anything else to offer. The hazards of moving 4-5 times in a relatively short period of time. I'm lucky if I have both shoes in a pair. Most are still MIA... somewhere... in boxes. lol

That kind of looks like the old Zip Top Camera Bag,

http://www.horsekeeping.com/Dooney/MISC/995-R217-ziptop-camera-bt.htm

but with some differences such as a different type of strap, zipper configuration, and other details.
 
I thought TJMAXX sold new stuff. I haven't been to one since Hector was a pup, but this sure screams vintage Dooney to me, whatever it is! Ya, camera bag works for me. Does this purse seem brand new to you, @10schick?

It was brand new when I bought it maybe 5-10 years ago. The marking on the interior combined with the fact that I can't find this style anywhere on eBay or the wide wide web might suggest a prototype for... a camera bag or a naked Kilty?. Hmmm... looks like we have a mystery on our hands. :D
 
Could it have been a prototype? How likely would it have be found at TJMaxx?

Outside my area of expertise, sorry!
I don't know either.

The mark on the inside is TJ's and Marshall's way of coding items' prices so if the tag disappears, they know their own original price. They round it so it was priced at $99.99. (It may have gone on clearance, but that's their original.)

Oh. A LOT has changed since I worked for TJMaxx a few decades ago. :p One mystery solved. Thanks BeenBurned. ;)

@10chick, there is a gal over on a site called horsekeeping. On her site there are a few odd bags like this that are clearly Dooney but don't quite match up to anything. Her guess for these kinds is a defective bag sold at outlet for discount.

I ran across a bag that, to me, was clearly Dooney but I had never seen the color scheme before. For fun check it out if you want and see what you think about what the seller said. Brb lemme get the address.
