Style opinions please on vintage Dooney & Bourke mini/small satchel
 
 
 
 
 
 
Hi all, I am looking for opinions as to the style number of my Dooney and Bourke satchel…could it be the R710?? My purse measures 10†wide across base x 6.5†tall to zipper x 5†wide at base with a 3.5†drop on the handles and a 19†to 21†drop on the strap. This seems to match up with the dimensions on the 710, but the only verified 710’s I have seen are ones in which the duck emblem is not positioned higher up on the bag (incorporated into the trim near the zipper line). Could mine be a variation of this style? Or is it a separate style altogether?? Also, does this look like ‘Ivy’ green? Many thanks for any input!

·3 years agoThe bag is authentic but isn't R710. R710 is a different style. (Search ebay for a red "Dooney R710" to see what that style looks like.)
Your bag is probably some type of shoulder satchel but I don't know the style number.
My own pictures of ivy green Dooney look darker than your green. I don't think it's ivy. It might be forest.

OP3 years agoMany thanks for your input, albertabrightalberta, and also for confirming authenticity! I guess I will list the purse with no style # attached to it…thanks, forest green seems like the most likely color. I have searched in vain for a listing on the internet that will reveal the style # to no avail (searching for a purse with tags still attached or the white sticker on the underside of the hanging pocket intact). A few listings are incorrectly calling this a 710. I also poured over vintage Dooney catalog pages on the internet but could not find this exact style. Must be a rare style…?
Thanks again for your valued opinion:)

OP3 years agoPerseverance paid off! I searched one more time and think I hit on the style #: R110...there was a 'sold' listing for this style on poshmark and it still had the white sticker intact behind the interior pocket. These types of things drive me crazy until I solve them, I am a little nuts lol. Thanks again for your input, I appreciate your taking the time to respond to my post
