Dooney & Bourke small vintage zippered shoulder purse. I am not sure on the style # as I have not located one that is like it..I guarantee it to be authentic though. It is done in a chocolate brown with burnt cedar piping and trim. Brown suede interior does have light wear -one small stain and no odors wear and has the D& B USA cloth tag sewn inside with #A7 207394. (The tag is intact) It has only a main single compartment. It has the zippered closure. Brass Duck fob. Out side has pebbled leather and it has a slip pocket on the one side. 7\"L x 7 \"H x 3\"D. 21\" at longest on shoulder strap. it is in good shape and stitching is tight and intact. No rips or holes to the leather. Great for those that do not like a large heavy bag. This bag will give it\'s new owner many many years of use. Great for the collector or someone that just appreciates a quality handbag! Timeless!

In1986 Dooney & Bourke changed their cloth label to the traditional Red White Blue with MADE IN THE USA below their name. However in the middle 1990?s Dooney & Bourke removed the MADE IN THE USA on SOME of their bags because they were assembled overseas.

MADE IN THE USA the serial number will start with A or B.
(traditional cloth tag sewn inside will read DOONEY & BOURKE, INC. MADE IN THE USA)

If the serial number starts with C it was assembled - made in COSTA RICA!
If the serial number starts with H it was assembled - made in CHINA!
If the serial number starts with I it was assembled - made in ITALY!
If the serial number starts with J it was made in CHINA! Most of the new bags you see on QVC or specialty stores have the black or white tag sewn inside.There should be a number on the back of the tag. These are the newer bags and are legit!
If the serial number starts with K it was made in CHINA!
If the serial number starts with L it was made in CHINA!
If the serial number starts with M it was assembled - made in MEXICO!

(traditional cloth tag sewn inside will read DOONEY & BOURKE, INC.)
(an additional leather tag sewn inside will read DOONEY & BOURKE MADE IN ITALY or MEXICO)
(an additional cloth tag sew inside will read Made in CHINA or COSTA RICA)The year 2002 is the last year for the AWL bags.
No D & B bags were ever made or assembled in Korea (fake)

I am in no way affiliated with Dooney & Bourke. I just enjoy collecting them!
