Hello, I'm new to this forum and hope I'm posting at the right place?!?!

I need help authenticating this Dooney bag. Please see the 14 photos at the attached link. The # on the back of the tag is BO 649895

:D Thanks in advance!

The bag is authentic. It's from the Cabriolet collection. In the future, you should post pictures either from your computer or from a photo-hosting site such as photobucket. Many users don't like to click on links when they don't know who or where they came from.
 
:yahoo:Thanks BeenBurned! I was worried because I bought it on ebay as authentic and sold it later as authentic, however, the buyer had it sent to the company because she said it looked too counterfit ?! I didn't think so (it has not yet been returned w/authentication).

Sorry about posting the pics as I did, I had problems downloading them here.

Sheesh! She sent it to Dooney right out of the gate? She could have saved herself aggravation (and time and money) by asking about it here or on the ebay boards. If you could PM me, I'd love to BBL her.

Yeah, lol... I've sweated over it since I just started purchasing bags off ebay, then come to find out how many are actually counterfit! Embarassing, but I'm not extremely familiar w/many of these bags, I just got addicted to the beauty of them, however, I am learning as I go!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRECIOUS TIME!! :)
 
I have two Dooney and Bourke wallets that I bought from Macy's and Boscov's that I want to sell on the bay. I wanted to post them here so that I could have some back up that they real just in used condition.

I have pictures of the Dooney and Bourke written on the inside of the checkbook cover but they aren't coming out right because of the camera flash.

Thanks! MK

They're fine. If you want to list them on ebay, you might want to try to get macro shots. Your camera should have a setting with a tulip. That allows you to get good, clear closeups of the imprints and small details. Practice taking macro shots. Press the button 1/2 way down so it can focus on the detail you want to shoot. You'll be amazed at the diference when you use the macro setting.
