I bought this D&B at a T.J.MAXX. I have never seen another like it. It didn’t have a registration card but it does have an authentic tag inside. It’s the best quality bag I have ever owned and would like any information available. I’m not looking to sell but would buy similar bags.

So far so good.

Please post a picture of both sides of the red, white and blue tag and serial number.

ETA: BTW, TJ Maxx sells authentic items. In rare cases, a dishonest customer has bought something (authentic) and returned a fake but that's not common.

Thanks, the serial number is hard to read but it is J6643160. I know that the first letter J indicates that it was made in Japan. I bought this in 2015 but I suspect that this style was not widely sold in the US. 63808C5E-5FA3-426F-BA5E-A35B4BF86C23.jpeg5B8BCF1B-DC4A-41C2-BC15-37F8F8D51032.jpeg
 
Could someone please authenticate this Dooney?
I believe it's an R25 Essex Medium Shoulder Bag, purchased at a local thrift store.
Approx. 10.25"w x 8"h x 4.25" d. Strap drops about 22.5".
My photos are below. Thanks in advance!DSCF7292.JPGDSCF7293.JPGDSCF7294.JPGDSCF7295.JPGDSCF7296.JPGDSCF7297.JPGDSCF7298.JPGDSCF7299.JPGDSCF7300.JPGDSCF7301.JPGDSCF7302.JPG

Much appreciated.
It looks fine. If you're the buyer and if you have concerns once you receive it, you can post a picture of the back of the RWB tag.

So I was mainly nervous because it’s my first Dooney bag. I read that the Made in USA tags will have the B code but this doesn’t have MIUSA on the front of the tag. Perhaps I misunderstood. Anyway below is the tag. It’s in my possession now and is adorable. Everything else seems good.

It's fine!

There are multiple codes for various countries. A, B and D are all US codes. Not all items have "made in USA" on the RWB label.
