Dooney & Bourke, located at Clinton Premium Outlets®: Dooney & Bourke designs and crafts instant classics with the perfect union of timeless American style, the highest regard for materials and craftsmanship, and a dedication to effortless functionality. You can identify the country of manufacture by examining the cloth Dooney & Bourke serial number tag sewn inside.

Please post a picture of the reverse side of the tag with serial number. Also, can you please take a straight on picture (no angle) of the Dooney and Bourke patch that's sewn to the lining? I will say I'm not comfortable with what I'm seeing but those two pictures are necessary for a determination. Sometimes Dooney & Bourke printed the serial # on the back side of the traditional DOONEY & BOURKE, INC tag). Authentic Vintage Dooney Bags: IF THE SERIAL NUMBER STARTS WITH C it was assembled-made in COSTA RICA. Authentic Vintage Dooney Bags: IF THE SERIAL NUMBER STARTS WITH H it was assemble-made in CHINA.

The best way in telling if a Dooney and Bourke purse is counterfeit is to look at the logo first. The logo that is on the purse should be made of the same color thread as the rest of the handbag. Another way to tell that a Dooney and Bourke is authentic is look at the leather. A lot of these counterfeit purses are made of cheap vinyl, and it can be a dead give away that the purse is a fake if it feels cheap. Also, Dooney and Bourke leather is almost always made of British tan leather.

You can also tell if a handbag is fake by the metal used on the closures of the purse. A Dooney and Bourke always has brass closures. Counterfeit companies usually use cheaper metals that are silver based. If your purse has a silver zipper or lock than it is a fake. Dooney and Bourke also has a traditional symbol, a duck, which was imprinted on most of the vintage Dooney and Bourke handbags. The duck symbolized that the Dooney and Bourke handbags are water resistant like a duck. When a duck gets wet, the water runs right off just like a Dooney and Bourke handbag.

One sure way to tell if a Dooney is authentic is to look inside the handbag to see if there is a registration number. Inside the purse you should find the traditional duck log stitched into the purse with a red, white, and blue registration sewn into the bag. Remember that just because a Dooney and Bourke looks good doesn’t mean it is authentic. Be sure that when purchasing a Dooney and Bourke that the dealer is authentic as well as the handbag.

Hello Paula,

Check Serial Number On Dooney And Bourke Purse

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??

Lucky you to inherit a large number of Dooneys !
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.
