I was wondering if anyone has ever encountered this before? I have what I believe is an authentic Dooney R211 Buckle Zip Top. The only thing is, it has 2 Dooney & Bourke tags:p both are sewn into the seams of the bag at opposite sides. The serial numbers are A9 915002 and A9 915004

It's authentic and I think it's a mistake made in the factory, confirmed by the almost sequential serial numbers.

I think someone on the assembly line added the second tag not noticing that the first was already there.
 
Hi, I bought this on Tradesy and just received it. I have a question about its authenticity.

Item: Dooney Florentine Medium, T'moro Brown

Link: https://www.tradesy.com/bags/dooney-and-bourke-florentine-leather-satchel-t-moro-brown-9026383/

Item : 9026383

Thank you for any help. :)
Is there a problem that makes you question it? I'm sure the bag is authentic although I'd like to see the serial number on the back of the red, whtie and blue tag to be sure. I don't see any red flags.

I've never seen such bright yellow stitching. Also, the key keeper is real leather. I've only seen the key keeper as those cheap nylon ribbons. The registration card is also different than any I've seen. It appears smaller print and smaller in size. I'll post a picture of the serial number and registration card. Thank you so much~~~!!;)
 
Here are some pics for the Tradesy purchase I made. Thank you for any assistance.
