Vintage Dooney and Bourke Crossbody Satchel Bag

I contacted D&B's customer service to guarantee that it is 100% Authentic.

Here is the email I got back from them:

Whether that's a forged email or not is irrelevant. Dooney clearly didn't see the pictures of the bag in question or their response would have been different.

Additionally, the seller, aselectro19 had another fake removed on July 29. The listing isn't viewable but the gallery picture still shows in her completed/sold listings:

I mentioned the email, not because I believed it was real, but so many buyers do, if they didn't she wouldn't have so many bidding on her auctions. I don't review an item because a seller puts their own authentication up, I go buy the photos that are given.
 
Good morning :)

Authentic and looks to be in great condition! Nice find.
 
Here's another bag I scored thrifting sometime last month, but I've been too busy at work lately to post pics.

Model: It looks like an Over & Under bag, but I've never seen one like this one.
Seller: Goodwill
Notes: It comes with the old style duckless fob, and also has a large cloth tag sewn on the inside pocket rather than the smaller red white and blue tag. There's no serial number -- I assume this was made before Dooneys came with those. The leather is not AWL but very thick. Bag is unlined.

Here's the pics:

Inside:

Side, buckle detail

Label:

Inside the front brass loop:

TIA!!

I've never seen that style but I don't see anything that indicates it's not authentic.

Nice find!
