Hello Dooney lovers.
Am hoping one of you can give me a bit more information about a hobo that BeenBurned has kindly authenticated for me.
I only own one other dooney and that was a thrifted QVS bag.
We only get Dooney in New Zealand if we buy second hand or and online store like NZSale so don't get so see any of their bags in their stores.

So if anyone can give me an idea as to style or even when this range came out I would greatly appreciate it.
(Secretly I would love to know what they were originally worth)

Definitely Nile. The Bayou collection was earlier IIRC and the scales were much smaller and more symmetrical
I have a similar bag.....I think it was called moon or half moon bag. I believe mine might be older as it has the square plaque but I could be way off on that. I have no concept of time but mine may have been purchased around 12-15 years ago.
This is the one I have

I think this bag was released in the croco embossed leather somewhere between
2005 - 2015. I have it in a dark green croco and a purple croco.
That style was also made in pebbled leather.
I'll try to remember the style name, the bags are buried in my closet so I
can't get to them. (That's what happens when you keep collecting handbags)

As for price range, I'm guessing it was originally sold for $275 - 350, US $.
At the time, I don't think I would have been comfortable paying more than that.
I did buy my bags in the Dooney retail boutique, at the time.
Of course, when they ran a post holiday sale, I often bought more than one bag.
Prices have gone up significantly since that time. Check out the Dooney web site
or QVC site and see todays prices on Dooney croco embossed handbags.

It's a lovely handbag, beautiful to look at and holds a lot of stuff for it's streamlined
styling. Also, the quality is excellent. Enjoy your new handbag. Love the color you
have.

After doing a little searching around the web, I think your bag is from the
COLLINS collection. There are other similar collections, which have snap tabs
on the front pockets, but the design of yours looks like the Collins and the name
rings a bell with me too.

I think the Collins style was released in croco, after the Nile and Bayou collections.

It seems the Collins was offered in several different fabrications....
croco embossed leather, pebbled leather, and various coated cotton patterns.
Subtle details, like strap hardware, might have varied. One of the places that
did sell this style in croco was QVC.

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
