mommaof4boysk - that is not an authentic dooney and bourke bag. the inside is totally all wrong. it should be suede instead of that cloth material and from the looks of the bag it is not leather at all.
 
This is my first post so I'm not sure if I am doing it right lol. I bought this bag at goodwill thinking it was a fake and intended to give it to my 3yr old but everyone I have shown it to thinks it's real. here are a few pictures, please ignore the poor coloring but I took them at night-

It's authentic (congratulations!) and from the IT collection. I'm not sure of the name of the style.
 
Things like this never happen to me but I am so happy I found it, I sat up all night last week watching qvc trying to figure out if I could afford a dooney but I couldn't then. I was wanting to get it cleaned, is there some place i could take it to for that?

the outside is like plastic. so you could use a soapy toothbrush and scrub the outside or use something like anti-bacterial gel to remove tough stains.

the leather - can't do anything.

the inside? not quite sure.
 
i have never shopped at goodwill - only go to donate clothes - but i have heard alot of stories about how women find these great designer bags there for pennies!! that was a great treasure find!!:tup:

if you are talking about the yellowing of the bag on the outside - no it can't be cleaned. that is one of the "IT" bags with the coated cotton and the majority of the white ones all turn yellow. the reason - because the protective coating of the bags wears off over time and that is how the yellowing takes place. it can't be removed.
 
Hello!! I am new to this...I do not even know if I am in the correct place. I have several D&B 's handbags. I want to know if they are true. Can someone help? I also would need some assistance in guilding me with this site as well. Am I in the right place? Thank you!!

You're in the right place for asking Dooney authenticity questions.

You will need to post pictures of the items, either directly from your computer through the "manage attachments" link below or from a photo-hosting website such as Photobucket. You upload pictures to photobucket and post the "IMG" code in the response box.
