Thanks a lot BeenBurned!

I know I've just requested for 5 Dooney to b authenticated and I'm not supposed to or allowed more than 5 within 24 hours....but there's a bag which will end in less than 23 hours which I want to bid. Would u pls consider helping me with this one as well for the day? I'm in the process of collecting Vtg bags. Thanks BB.

I own a Porthole Clutch just like that and the color of mine is Wheat. I believe the one in the listing is Wheat, not Palomino. It's very hard to judge colors without seeing it in person, though. This picture (from http://www.ebay.com/gds/Dooney-Bourke-Collection-AWL-COLORS-17-PHOTOS-/10000000004439029/g.html) shows the two colors side by side:

I agree. It's authentic but it's not palomino unless the color is really off on my monitor. Palomino is buttery yellow and I don't think there was even a palomino when that bag was made.

Thanks Catbird. Wow all the 4 yellow in the pic look so nice. I don't have any yellow Dooney yet.

Thanks for the clarification, BeenBurned. I'm still interested in the bag anyway. [emoji16] Hopefully in future I will find my Palomino
 
Snagged this at a local Goodwill for 19.00. I've never seen the tag in that place before , So i was a little skeptical. But I bought it anyway. Soooo...is it real? What style is this called?

Hello,

Can someone verify if this Dooney is authentic? I am questioning it as the feet, and hardware are silver toned and I don't see the word Dooney anywhere on the exterior. Also, the leather feels thin to me... what do you all think? I have been an avid dooney shopper for years and have never seen this style bag before.

I already purchased it but, am willing to ask for a refund if I find that it's not authentic.

It's authentic. The Italian-made bags don't scream "Dooney" as some of the signature and other character and logo bags do.

Have you already received it? Is there (possibly) a white sticker inside the zippered pocket with the style number? The stickers commonly fall off or are removed so the lack of the sticker isn't a red flag.
