For future reference, vintage Dooney and Bourke bags never have braided trim nor do they have leather covered buckles.
Thanks,:smile1: I know most of the designs, especially about the fakes with the braid, and pleather buckle. I like to post the fakes that I find on ebay etc. to this forum, so that not only I , but others can report the counterfeit . I also like to help others identify fakes, since I was also burned with a fake about 15 years ago. Resources like this one were not available, or I just didn't know about the forum. It's a never ending quest;) but I keep posting as I find the counterfeits. P.S. and welcome to the forum:D

LOL

As you no doubt know....horsekeeping calls it a "mystery" bag!!!

It works!

Oh, and i own 2 dooneys with the broad canvas?--strap. Both authenticated here, early to mid nineties. Somewhere i have an email from dooney corporate confirming authenticity of such straps as well. They are, as you likely know, rather rare.
