Hello, Show
First I want to be sure you know about our pages that list the
authenticity factors of Dooney & Bourke handbags and accessories. Usually if the rivets say Dooney & Bourke on them, the bag is authentic. That coupled with the fact that it has the “Dooney & Bourke Made in USA” red, white and blue tag sewn inside with a serial number on the back makes it almost positive the bag is authentic. Bag #2 Since you say it does have the RWB tag with serial number, that should be enough to authenticate it. But as I read your note I wonder if you meant to say “it does not have…..”? From what you write, they both seem authentic and at $10 each, if the condition is good without soiling, odors or damage to leather or stitching, you got a great buy. I’m sending you my email address so you can send me photos if you like.  Why buy from Vintage Dooney? topWe're passionate about purses. And quality. And we know Dooney.

How can I tell where my bag was manufactured? topYou can identify the country of manufacture by examining the cloth Dooney & Bourke serial number tag sewn inside. An
authentic vintage Dooney bag will always state where the bag was manufactured or assembled. Vintage Dooney Bags were only manufactured and assembled in 5 places in the world: USA | Costa Rica | China | Italy | Mexico In the mid-1990's Dooney & Bourke removed the MADE IN THE USA on some of their Dooney bags as they began to be assembled overseas. Labels: Note: If you cannot locate a tag inside or if your tag is glued on as opposed to sewn on, you have a counterfeit bag. You may contact the company t report it, HERE. How to read the labels: If your Authentic Vintage Dooney Bag was MADE IN THE USA- the serial number will start with A or B. If you have an Authentic Vintage Dooney Bag which was assembled/made in COSTA RICA OR CHINA OR ITALY OR MEXICO, it will have the traditional cloth tag sewn inside but will read: DOONEY & BOURKE, INC. (without the MADE IN USA). Authentic Vintage Dooney Bags when made in CHINA or COSTA RICA will have an additional cloth tag sewn inside and will read MADE in CHINA or MADE IN COSTA RICA. (there are some exceptions to some of the Authentic Vintage Dooney Bags having 2 tags inside. Sometimes Dooney & Bourke printed the serial # on the back side of the traditional DOONEY & BOURKE, INC tag).

Dooney & Bourke Handbag Fact: It is very rare to find a Dooney & Bourke Bag with a broken or malfunctioning zipper unless it has been heavily abused.
