Hello! Could you please take a look at this D&B small Gladstone?


It’s genuine.

Thank you!
Can I pick your brain for a moment? I was a bit stumped on the serial number. Typically I’ve seen them B# ######, this one has no number after the B. Was this in earlier bags?
I don't know if it's an error or if it has something to do with when the bag was made but I went through pictures of dozens of Dooneys in my own files and although there were quite a few bags from the 90s and earlier (including some that were old enough to be pre-serial), I only found one in my records with a serial number that's missing the number after the letter and before the space.

I wonder if it's an anomaly in some US "B" bags.

This is a picture from my records:

Sorry I can't give you more definitive information other than that the bag is authentic.

Thank you so much for your thorough response.

I really do appreciate you taking the time to go through your Dooney files, and share this pic.

I looked this bag over and over, comparing it between vintageDooney & horsekeeping, and was 99% certain it was authentic, but the serial number was making me question.

Everytime I search for a vintage Dooney, I’m always surprised what I come across. 😅

Thank you again!
 
Hi all, is there a way to tell the approximate age of a Dooney? My recollection is I bought this in 2008 (at TJ Maxx) but I have never been able to validate the name/line/actual color according to D&B. I have seen a couple posted elsewhere that call this orange. Thank you!
