I reported that crook to Dooney. I feel certain some of you guys did, too. I also feel certain a Carlos in Miami will be getting a letter very soon...

Stunning that ppl would spend $100 on that ugly piece of TRASH. It must have cost .52 cents to make...

It also states the website has a short life expectancy. I'll bet.

Thank you for those links, ladies, very enlightening!
 
Could someone please authenticate this D&B keyring?
From GW.
Oval is approx. 2.5"w x 2"h. Ring 1.375" diameter.
Any idea of age?
Thanks, as always!

It's authentic and the style has been around probably 25 years but it's also been made (nearly) continuously so the age of the specific fob is impossible to pinpoint. And unlike brands that have serials numbers and date codes, Dooney's keychains are a challenge to date.

I don't see any red flags but I'd like to see both sides of the red, white and blue label and serial number.

Thanks, BeenBurned for your always-valuable info :)
 
I have a cute little vintage Dooney zip top, 2nd hand, red with British tan trim. About 11 x 7, it is seasoned, but not thrashed. However, it came without a shoulder strap. I didn't think I cared if the strap was authentic D&B, since I'm not selling it, so I ordered a generic tan adjustable leather shoulder strap on Amazon. I solved a similar problem with a vintage Anne Klein clutch I found in a thrift shop, and a gorgeous suede FENDI baguette - it means the bags, though, are partly authentic and slightly after market. What do you all do when you find a bag with a missing part?
