The listing, DOONEY AND BOURKE handbag- Vintage!! has ended.
Ok..here are the details.
First..this is OLD, but ONLY needs cleaning! No tears, cuts, or anything that an hour with leather cleaner won't handle!
Now..I can't find ANY tag with numbers on the bag...this indicates one of two things..either it's fake..or it's OLD.
I am convinced that this is NOT a fake..and here are the reasons:
ALL hardware on the bag is stamped SOLID BRASS
ALL stitching is uniform, and virtually perfect..no knots
Dooney symbol is solid..looks authentic.
Hang tag is an older one
Production quality is excellent! Leather is heavy and not scuffed up anywhere!
Interior is as high quality (stitching wise) as exterior
Now..granted..I am not a Dooney expert, but from what I've been told, this is good solid evidence of authenticity.
I am assuming that this bag was made before Dooney started putting tags in their bags with model numbers. I have looked closely, and there isn't even a place where a tag could have been cut out.
SO..That's what I have...you decide.
The only reason I am getting rid of it is that it's entirely too small for me.
Bag is 10" across x 7" tall
Strap has a 22" drop but is slightly adjustable with 2 buckles on the strap.
Please...no ugly comments?? If you have advice, or something to say about this auction, please email me.
Thanks!
