So far, the bag seems okay but more pictures are needed. Please show a full closeup of the front of the bag, the interior, the top and the bottom/feet. If there's a red, white and blue tag with serial number, please show both sides of it.

Can someone please help me with these two wristlets. They are missing the blue and white tags inside. I bought them new.
My bags have the same made in China tags, but the bags do have the blue and white (just missing the made in USA tag)
Do the Wristlets have the tags or not? I never thought to look when buying them.

Both are fine.
 
Would you please authenticate this tote bag I received from a family member? Do you know what the style is called? "14x 12" x 5"
Thank you

Request for authentication bc of the hilarious serial number (J6666365 LMAO), please and thank you! I found this in a thrift store and plan to give it some love regardless. I love reptiles, so if I see snake or croc print, it's good in my book.

Item Name: I could not find the name for this style of purse (I would like to know it if you do! Or at least an approximate date of release for this style - like 2000s or 2010s. It appears to be from the Denison collection, just not what's currently running, I checked both Dooney websites and could not find any catalogue or even any history about their previous collections. (But I'm probably looking in the wrong places. I'm not usually a purse guy, but I've been in the market for one and this one caught my attention today.)

Link (if available): N/A, couldn't find it on their sites.

(White tag is embroidered. Black tag next to it appears to have been 'correctly' labeled "Made in China," according to The Internet saying J in the serial means made in China.)

(^ Demon Dooney. Makes me wonder who else has one with a funky number. Maybe this one is haunted. God, I hope so.)

Thank you in advance. My apologies if things aren't formatting correctly. I couldn't find a D&B community in the site I usually haunt, and I'm on mobile rn.

The bag is authentic. It's from either Nile or Bayou collection but I've never been able to differentiate between them. I'm estimating it's from approximately 2003-2006-ish.

Please explain the "hilarious" serial number and why it's considered to be funny. It's exactly as it should be with a correct country code and correct font.

Awesome! Thank you for your time! Much appreciated!
I meant hilarious because it contains "666" and "365" both are numbers with social connotations - devil and 365 days of the year. (Also, so many sixes in one number.) I didn't mean its appearance!
