Is this authentic? I only know a little about authenticating a dooney, but there aren't many pictures and i've never seen this awesome color combo before.

Absolutely without a doubt FAKE!
I think it is copying the Teton bags. They have multicolors and zigzag trim. I haven't ever seen the Norfolk style in Teton though.
 
Please post any questions about authentic items or sellers here.
Thanks!

I just bought this D&B bag on eBay as I thought it was cute. I don't know anything about the D&B brand though. Is it a high end brand in the US? How old would it be? How much would this bag have cost new? Is it real (not many photos to go on, I know!)? What kind of age person would use it? I hope I haven't bought too 'young' for me!! Thanks for your advice..

Treasurehorde wait for more opinions. The tag looks okay to me except I haven't seen it stamped so crooked before.

jcmurp, you did good. Nice bags you found! Glad to see the sticker on the Carrier, that has got to be the right name! The cut tag means it is from the outlet. I haven't seen AWL made outside the US much, has to be one of the last AWL made. The other is from the Cavalry series, there are two sizes of the hard bottom type [this one is the smaller], a tiny belt bag and at least one round bottom soft bag around.

My DH found my first TS Dooney. I had to buy it but he is the one that found it.
