I adore these vintage bags, especially the maroon satchel, thats very nice. For me with Vintage, if its good quality leather and I like how it looks Im not fussed what the name on the tag says, unfortunately I cant say the same with modern bags - Im not that saintly with those! :-)

I take photos for fun, and in photo forums we often do a 'pic of the day'. Also, I like to do documentary photography, in which we document changes of things over time. In this case, we'll see a change in the pocketbook. lol.

I'm going to add to this thread, by taking a photo of my wife, at the same place (NYC, Central Park, Gastrow Bridge), around the same time every day that it is practical (early morning on the way to work). With a different D&B find, of course.

The first couple or three I have already posted elsewhere on tpf. But we'll be posting new ones regularly.

Hope you enjoy!

I'm beginning to wonder about this one as I haven't seen another like it. It has the 'DB' hang tag, not the duck.

I've noticed two early twenties women walking around with this Big Duck bag recently, and I've also noticed they can get expensive on ebay because of this. Couldn't pass up this color!

My wife loves these Norfolks, especially the bigger ones like this. They hold a lot of stuff!

This is probably their best-selling bag, navy Equestrian, simple and elegant, if common.

This one I would love your help on. I ran into it from the same seller on Bonanza and ebay. It appears to be genuine croc, leather lined. The shape and interior logo look like early Dooney, as does the brass tag. The seller stated that Dooney was making skin bags for a very short time. I've never seen another one of these, nor could I find a reference to any Dooney skin bags. Anyway, real or not, it's beautiful!!!

With its drop-down wallet and fringed ends, this Kilty is Dooney's most delightfully quirky bag.

And another big Norfolk:
