Dooney And Bourke Bag Id Number
Hello Paula,
I have a question about Dooney serial numbers. I have recently inherited a large number of vintage Dooney’s Some of them are exactly as you stated in your web site others have a serial number that starts with a “B” but still has the red white and blue made in USA tag. I also have what is a newer one that has the red, white, blue tag with no USA and the serial number starts with a “J”. Do you know what country this may have been made? I am sure these are authentic and they match up with my Dooney, which I know is authentic. I am not sure if a I want to sell these or start collecting vintage Dooney’s myself. Can you help me??

Dooney & Bourke is another American Brand Handbag Company that has joined the ranks of Coach by being, 'Knocked Off' as they say in the business. For many years counterfeiting was something set aside for the big names and the foreign handbag market such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Dior and Gucci. As the handbag craze grew and brands such as Dooney & Bourke grew in popularity these bags began to.
First of all, counterfeiters are very clever and make their own faux leather duck seals, tags and fobs to try to make bags look authentic. But if a bag is indeed authentic, the sewn in tags do provide some information.

Authentic bags that have the red, white and blue Dooney & Bourke, Made in USA label sewn inside, the first portion of the serial number on the back will start with either an A or a B and that indicates what factory in the USA the bag came from. That is what was told to me by a Dooney & Bourke representative.
