May I get this bag authenticated. Actually he has three exactly alike however on separate postings. Looks not right to me. All the evidence I can see of Dooney and Bourke is the silver plate but it is attached directly to the bag. All I've seen have been placed on leather then attached. I have requested pictures of the inside but haven't received any so far.

Item- very beautiful hand bag Dooney and Bourke

Listing
Number-141634558058

Seller: mor-señor
I am unable to upload pictures as I'm new here and I am sorry but I don't know how to add the link. I will greatly appreciate your help with this.

Here's the link:

I'm not familiar enough with the style to authenticate, sorry. Someone else here will probably know.

The bag is fake. Report all mor-senor's Dooney listings!

This is the second time in about 15 years that I've seen a dishonest seller who attached a Dooney label (in this case an authentic one), to a non-Dooney bag. The previous time I saw it done, the dishonest seller attached it to a fake Dooney. In this case, it's not a fake; just a generic bag.

But it's certainly reportable because daoha advertises a Dooney and it's not a Dooney. Attaching a tag makes the bag fake.

I can't tell if the buckle is correct . If it is real, does anyone know the name? thanks

Small Carpet Bag shown here looks just like it:

http://www.horsekeeping.com/Dooney/GRAB/906-GRAB-carpet-whitebt.htm

The buckle on the one in the eBay listing looks all right to me, it's just not cinched up tightly. I'm not sure but the color might be Mushroom. IMO that is a very attractive bag in nice condition.

It's authentic. The color might be dark taupe, a rather HTF color.
 
HI just purchased what I hope is an authentic vintage Dooney and Bouke. I've been reading up on Dooney and Bourke and find it quite fascinating. I've always been a fan of Dooney but never owned one. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. From what I've read these seem to check out thx again. This Dark Navy Blue small handbag.

Both are authentic.
