I was just wondering if there was a way to find out more about the bag and how much it is worth?? Anybody have any advice on someone that could help me out with that

You can try searching eBay using the terms "dooney tassel tote" and you will see many different versions, probably not one exactly like yours. What yours would sell for depends on the size, color, and condition of the bag, and mostly, what a given buyer is willing to pay.

If you list it, be sure to give the measurements and take clear pictures, showing and describing any noticeable wear or damage. Show the red white and blue cloth tag and mention that it was made in the USA. Some important key words to use in your title or description are Dooney & Bourke, tassel tote, fabric, leather, signature (meaning that the name or initials of the company are on the fabric), and shoulder strap.

Hi,
I bought two bags from an online auction and wanted to get them authenticated. I provided the link as well as my photos. I will do a separate post for the other bag because of the number of photos.

If anyone knows what kind of material this bag is made of, I would love to know. I think it is a textured canvas.

Thank you :smile:

I took these photos because some of theirs weren't clear about which went with what bag.

I think it may be Saffiano leather?
 
The rectangular bag with the flap closure and toggle appears to be a Florentine leather Toggle cross body Dooney. It came in 2 sizes.... a smaller and a medium size..
You can see it on the Dooney site.

The crosshatch pattern visible on the trim of the domed satchel leads me to believe it's saffiano leather. I can't see the pattern on the front of the bag, but if it's the same, then it's likely saffiano leather. The style of this domed satchel with the belting detail on the front looks like the Bristol. Dooney had done the Bristol in a number of leathers, but I've never seen it in saffiano before. That doesn't mean anything other than I didn't run across the style in that leather.

I'm not an authenticator, just trying to provide you with some information about the styles and the leather.

Thank you, I appreciate it. They're both pretty darn awesome :smile:

It's authentic. I don't know the style name or the material, sorry.
 
Hi! My first post and I’m not if this is where it should go.

I purchased a Dooney Florentine small satchel last week. It was on sale on dooney.com so I was elated and bought it. After perusing the site this week, I discovered my bag was different from the other Florentine satchels listed.

The model number I got is 8L98B NA. But there is an 8L980 NA that the same but different, if that makes sense. Dooney says one (mine) is the older model (therefor on sale) and the other is the newer model. My inside doesn’t have the red and green liner and my tassels are red on back. It feels like a fake! Does anyone have a model like mine?

Thanks!
