Sorry but the pictures don't show much. The "tag" I referred to is the red, white and blue tag that's sewn inside. It has a serial number on the reverse side.The serial number has a specific font that I'd want to see. A closeup picture showing the texture and fabric of the lining is really helpful too.

I had to laugh at the seller's description of altering the registration card so the bag cannot be fraudulently registered!

Again, I think the bag is probably okay but if you do buy it, fund it with a credit card. That way, you can dispute the charge with your credit card company if paypal gives you a hard time.


Ahh ok I'm not up on Dooney and Bourke at all I just like this bag, maybe Ill just let it go. Thanks alot
 
Can someone take a look at this bag for me? I thought it odd that the R/W/B dooney tag be hanging from the leather around the inside zipper. I have also never seen one without a stamped leather Dooney & Bourke sign above/below the inner zipper.

thanks!

That bag is fine. There are several styles with the tag attached that way.

Here's another example where the tag is attached in the same place (2nd picture)

And another. This doesn't have great pictures but you can see that the tag is on the pocket.

Hello all! When you have the time could someone please take a look at this for me? I think these are cute, but will not consider it til I hear your opinion(s) here! Thanks a bunch!!

Looks fine.

Many of this seller's items use Dooney stock photos so if there is another item you want where they don't use their own pictures, request pictures before bidding. (The listing you've asked about uses her own photos.)
 
Hi everyone,

I don't know if you'll be able to tell from this picture, but can someone take a look at it for me? Thanks.

And this one as well.

Thanks!

There's no way to know whether the first one is authentic or not because the seller doesn't use a picture of the actual item. The second one looks okay but if you plan to bid or buy, ask the seller for a picture of the interior.
