Item Name: I do not know, I’ve looked everywhere for a name. All I keep getting is Dr bag but I don’t think that’s right.

Link (if available): purchased at a thrift store, value bikkage

The tag looks real to me but the inside bottom layer is coming up on the edges. I can’t get it to stay folded under. It’s a larger bag. About 11.5” x 10.5”.

I added a colorful strap to it for fun. it didn’t have one attached. I would like to know if it’s authentic or not. I appreciate any help! Thank you!

The bag is authentic.

I've seen these satchels as well as Gladstones called doctor bags. I do think Dooney had a style they called "doctor" but I'm not sure which it was.

Hello! I've had this DB for a while. It is thrifted. No markings I could find, other than the hang-metal tag, and don't know the name, sorry. I didn't think it was real (the & is missing on tag), but I desperately needed a wallet, and this one was in good condition and felt like leather.
Sadly, I used a disinfecting wipe, which discoloured the interior pockets. :doh:
Thank you in advance!
p.s. the real colour is slightly softer than the photos.

Can someone please help me with the name of this bag but also is it missing a drawstring? There is no closure but there are 2 holes in front and back what seems to be for a drawstring. K9596549

I don't see any problems. There is probably a made in tag inside, possibly in a pocket. Is there a heat stamp on the inside vachetta leather?

There's no doubt it's authentic but I've never seen the style (or pattern) and have no idea what it's called.

You might ask in the Dooney main forum whether anyone knows the bag.

Hi again! I don't see any heat stamp, but I did find a tiny black, satiny, tag inside one of the pockets. It seems to be blank, although it's a tight squeeze getting in there to look closely. I also found a very faded Bloomingdale receipt from 2012 - lol!

That black satin made in tag is correct. It probably says made in China but it's tough to photograph and hard to read.

I'm sure the wallet is authentic.
 
how do i get to the dooney main forum?
This is the main Dooney section.

This thread is the one you can post on:
