Could someone please authenticate this D&B bag?
I stopped dead in my tracks when I found this at GW yesterday...
Approx. 9.75"w x 10.5"h x 5.5"d. Handles 13" to buckles.
Maybe a vintage AWL Bucket Bag? Probably the most beautiful Dooney I've ever seen :)
Any additional info is much appreciated!
Thanks in advance :)
Nice find! I believe it's called a bucket bag (don't quote me) but I don't know the exact name.

I'm pretty sure this is a Dooney from 1983-84 just need a little reassurance... thanks

I was wondering too. I haven't seen a closure tab like that before. Possibly an early version of the "over and under" equestrian bag?

Interesting bag, I'd love to know more about it.
it's authentic and old! Nice find. It's from before my era of expertise but I believe it to be an over and under style too.

Thanks, I've been searching for one of the earlier bags, the quality is much better. I recently purchased a bag from Macys.com that I plan on returning, the quality is almost as bad as some of the counterfeit bags I've seen, and if I didn't know it was from Macy's, I would have thought it was counterfeit :shucks:
this one the pictures are not that clear, but I'm almost sure it's counterfeit

Item Name: I think its a Medium Outback? R35?

I'm usually over on the Coach forum, but I thought this one was too cute to pass up and it was giving me mixed signals. The rivets aren't stamped, and the duck on the front isn't as puffy but I'm thinking its an older bag? Anybody know about when it was made if its real?
Thanks in advance :smile1:
