Check Serial Number On Dooney And Bourke

That is what was told to me by a Dooney Bourke representative. The A5 indicates the factory in the US where the bag was made and the other six digits are its unique registration number. The serial number will start with the letter assigned to the country where the bag was made. If the serial number starts with. A or B & D it was made in the USA and has the traditional red, white, and blue tag that reads Dooney & Bourke Made in the USA The bags below will have a red, white, and blue fabric that that merely reads Dooney & Bourke. They will have a secondary tag saying Made in ###.

Hi Paula,

Is the value of a vintage Dooney & Bourke bag reduced if the label inside is cut? I have a large navy kilty with tags still attached that has never been used, but the label inside has been cut.

Thanks!

Hi Carmen,

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, and you can see the registration number on the back, 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.
outlet store = less value
imperfect bag = less value

Yes, less value for the above than if it was a perfect bag with unsnipped tag.

If a tag has been completely cut out, then we get suspicious because we can no longer see the registration number. Counterfeit bag makers are crafty – they sew a similar label in and then rip it out so it looks like a real tag might have been in there. But there are usually many other details that will tell us that a bag is a fake.
