Could you tell me if this is real and if so how much is it worth i got this out of a storage unit I got at a auction
your bag looks like an east west slouch bag like this one :http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dooney-Bour...044?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27f9977454
I can't give a price for selling, it's worth what someone will pay, but you can view sold bags on ebay to get an idea of what the bags are selling for. Hope this helps welcome to the forum :balloon:another one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dooney-and-...f&pid=100005&rk=1&rkt=6&sd=171691177044&rt=nc

I found this Dooney at my favorite thrift store, actually in the reject pile of purses ;). It is a Dooney I'm sure, but the only thing, there is no evidence of a red, white, and blue tag. Was there a year, or years that Dooney made bags without any numbered tags? Possibly the years between the large green tag, and the red, white, and blue ones? Thanks
Absolutely authentic. If it doesn't look like the tag was removed (outlet bag), it's probably a pre-tag (early 80s) bag.
 
Item: Authentic Dooney&Bourke Black Pebble Leather small shoulder bag/purse&Wallet
Listing: 381168735529
Seller: lada812
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Authentic-D...529?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item58bf6d5529
Comment: "bonus wallet" looks fake, but is purse real?
The listing is reportable because even including a "bonus" fake is disallowed.

As for the bag, it's okay but the leather is so dry (or the pictures are so bad) that the pebbling doesn't appear to have the uniform color it should have.

Report the listing though because she can't even list a fake freebie.

Comments: This bag sure looks fake to me, despite the brass fob.

Comment: Two-tone pebbled leather, braided trim, covered buckle.

Thanks!
Both are fake. Dooney doesn't trim flaps with braiding and they don't cover solid brass buckles with pleather.
