I found a vintage navy & tan AWL Dooney & Bourke in Thrifty Shopper today. My mom and I were pretty sure it was authentic based on the quality, and the tag looked right, so I bought it. I figured I could always return it. Anyway, I had it authenticated (by Catbird9 :smile: ). I've been looking for a nice one for years. I rarely find Dooney, and when I do they are always beat up. This one was in great condition, all she needed was a light cleaning and a little Blackrock on the trim. I have to admit, I cleaned it right away, with the price tag still on it, I didn't wait, lol. Even if it turned out to be a fake, it really wasn't a waste of time, it only took a few minutes.
I collect vintage Dooney and the first one I found was that same bag! I gave it to a family member though. You're right, it can be hard to find Dooneys in thrift stores that are in good shape. I have found some good deals online. You just really need to read up on how to spot the fakes. And I love Blackrock! Blackrock Leather N Rich & Pecard Leather Dressing are my favorite products for the British Tan trim.
