I'm no expert, but I've bought Dooney handbags in a Dooney retail boutique and couldn't find the tag inside.
These were from the Alto line which is made in Italy. I know the handbags were genuine. It's possible the tag was
sewn deep into a pocket, but I couldn't find it when I looked for it to copy the info onto the registration card.
This has happened more than once, and all within the last 10 years.
In addition, wallets don't seem to have serial # tags.
@lavenderjunkie the tag is there but sometimes you really have to look. Here is the tag in a red Alto:

Nice find and great price! It's from Dooney & Bourke's Cavalry line. Are the measurements about 7.5" x 8" x 2.5"? If so, it's a Small Spectator, style #R89.
