This auction has already ended, but could you please authenticate anyways. Thanks

I'm not too good at authenticating wristlets. The material and the logo look fine to me, though.

This one looks fishy to me... no rainbow zipper. But the non-blue inside tells me it may have come out before the IT line was trully introduced... I dont remember this one in the IT line...

That's a fake! Dooney hardware is brass, and the straps look too thick. See


for strap thickness.

The bag you show has a ring attached to the zipper pull. Dooney has a leather tab attached to zipper pulls of barrel bags.

I don't remember that that bag was ever an IT style, and all the IT bags have rainbow zippers. Most have colorful linings too. The zipper tab looks wrong as well.

I don't know the line at all but have seen very few fake fabric tags and no fake stamped rivets. Anybody else?

Hi everyone!
I'm new to TPF (and designer bags in general) and I was wondering if you could help me confirm whether this bag is authentic. I picked it up today for free at my town's community swap shed and as far as I can tell, it's an older AWL bag, but I'm relatively unfamiliar with D&B, so I thought you all would be the best people to ask. I couldn't get too many pictures to come out well, but I've attached what I have. The hardware appears to be solid brass, and it says so on the buckle on the strap. The tag on the inside has been cut out, but it still says "Dooney &" at the top and a partial serial number on the other side - it starts with A1 and ends with 68 but the rest is cut off. All the rivets say "Dooney Bourke" on the back. The duck logo is on the front with the words "Dooney and Bourke All-Weather Leather" around it. Can anyone help, or if this is an authentic bag, tell me what the serial number is and when it was made? I'd be happy to give more details if necessary. Thank you so much!

Pursegirl that is a beauty! I love it, I love it, I love it!

And yes, it is real.

I have an army green and tan version of this I wore for a whole year. It is so cute but so structured.It wears you instead of you wearing it and just rejects stuff you want to put in. And it falls over too easily. But it is the cutest, I love the little upside down pocket you put your fingers in to support the brass button to close it.

Think I will wear it tomorrow. Wonder what it will let me put inside?

Thanks so much for your help Kathyy! I thought I recognized the bag in a photo that you posted in the "pictures" thread... it's adorable and I love the contrast between that dark green and the tan. I've never had a Dooney before and it's just beautifully made... it's a bit worn and was clearly well-loved by its previous owner but I can tell it'll never fall apart and the pebbled leather looks like new. Think I'll take it for a spin today. :)

All I can do is the stuff I know.
#1 Rivets are stamped, good.
#2 I can see a bit of the fabric tag, looks fine. Inked number and tan border. Love the pocket closing, like the old stuff!
