Thanks BeenBurned. The strap is not removable or adjustable and relatively short in length at about 38".

Sorry I don't have anything else to offer. The hazards of moving 4-5 times in a relatively short period of time. I'm lucky if I have both shoes in a pair. Most are still MIA... somewhere... in boxes. lol

I think I found one very much like yours on Horsekeeping. It has a non-detachable strap, and silver color hardware. See what you think.

I everyone! I found this at goodwill today. Could you authenticate and if you know any other info, I'd greatly appreciate it. Black pebbled leather nice and squishy. It's 10" high, 11"wide, 6"deep

Thanks! Guess I would not have thought it to be an AWL bag. It's so squishy. I have stuff in it to give it shape or it would have been a puddle for the pictures. It's just lovely! Thanks again.
I think it's AWL 2 but I could be wrong.

The original (older) AWL was stiff and non-pliable. Then they came out with AWL2, a softer leather finish.

This bag could very well be non-awl pebbled leather.

AWL or not, the important thing is that it's authentic. :smile1:

Yes I totally agree with you authentic is most important! Thanks for the info on the AWL2. I had no idea! Cool!
 
Hi - I found this bag at a garage sale and wanted to know a little more about it - namely is it authentic?

There is no lining inside - just one back pocket. All grommets (including the top of the feet that show inside the purse) say Dooney and Bourke and the buckle says solid brass. The zipper pulls say YKK. There is no tag inside.

TIA

Normally, more pictures should be shown but I don't need to see them in this case. The bag is a hobo and authentic.

I'm pretty sure there is a tag inside unless it's been removed but they have it in a very obscure place. If you open the zipper all the way, at the very end of the zipper, turn the top of the bag slightly to see it to the side of the zipper pull.

I've attached a pic showing the location on a similar bag:
