Characteristics of Authentic Dooney & Bourke Bags © 2010 Cherry Hill Dooney & Bourke bags sold for between $200-$380 in the 1980s and 1990s which invited knock offs and fakes to flood the market. But it only takes a few seconds to spot the difference in materials, workmanship and feel of the great Dooney & Bourke handbags, briefcases, totes, wallets and other items in the All Weather Collection. To help, authentic Dooney & Bourke items have some identifying features. Note that in the early 1980's before the AWL (All-Weather Leather) bags went into production, the Equestrian bags, for example, were made of wonderful bridle leather but it was NOT waterproof.

Also those early bags, because they were not AWL bags, did not have the Duck Leather seal or the Brass Duck fob as these signify the waterproof aspects - like water shedding from a duck's feathers. So bear that in mind as you shop for authentic bags.

There are some absolutes but some anomalies along the way also. To the best of my knowledge and by researching in my vintage Dooney & Bourke catalog collection, here's the scoop. H512 About Registra tion Tags Very early bags have no sewn in cloth regitration tags. The first sewn-in tags (1983-1984) were fairly large green rectangles sewn flat into the bag that said: Dooney & Bourke DB Made in USA After 1985, the tags were red, white and blue and were sewn as tabs inside the bag in conjunction with a seam. They say: Dooney & Bourke, Inc. Made in USA and they have a registration number on the back. Some more recent bags (1990s) have been manufactured in the US but assembled elsewhere, such as Costa Rica.

Those bags have red, white and blue sewn-in tags that say Dooney & Bourke Inc. But the tag does not say Made in USA. Instead there is often a (leather or cloth) tag underneath the red, white and blue tag that says where the bag was assembled such as the example above which shows a blue cloth tag that says 'Assembled in Costa Rica. In these assembled-overseas bags, there is a registration number on the back of the red, white and blue tag and the letter it stars with indicates the country where the bag was assembled. C indicates Costa Rica H indicates China I indicates Italy M indicates Mexico.

This registration tag system was used when Dooney & Bourke was producing a limited amount of collections. As the company got larger, it no longer assigned individual registration numbers to each bag. Tags removed or snipped? Often we will see tags that are snipped or partially or completely torn out of the bags. If a tag is snipped but is mostly still there, it probably indicates that the bag was sold at an outlet store - it is likely authentic but might have been an overstock or slightly imperfect bag. If a tag is completely ripped out, leaving only a few red and white threads, I am always suspicious. Such bags might be authentic but it would be difficult to authenticate them without a registration number.
