Authentic. Until the last few years, Dooney used generic (and logical) names for its styles. This was a vintage drawstring.

I've seen both braided drawstrings as well as the non-braided one shown here:

BEFORE I start reading, I have this bag in my possession. which needs to be authenticated. USA tag with serial number A008889 . Satchel bag measures: 11 Long 8 High 5.5 deep Top Handles & it ia missing shoulder strap.Please Authenticate & if Gunuine can you tell me the style name PLEASE??? HAPPY SATURDAY!! CHEERS! S>:D
It's authentic. Your measurements are closest to R28 medium satchel which Horsekeeping describes as 10.5 x 8.5 x 5.5

Welcome to the wonderful world of vintage AWL Dooney & Bourke. I can tell you're smitten!

I agree with BB, Horsekeeping.com has a wealth of information on D&B authentication, styles and measurements. Here are two additional informative guides:

For colors:

Thanks so much for all the info !!!What a GREAT Help ! I 'm crazy for 2 tone leather &Yes I do love pebbled drawstring bucket bags! There was not much activity or assistance on this thread back when I rehabbed & sold my few KNOWN Authentic D&Bs so It is Fabulous to have the info that you & BB turned me onto today! I am going to rehab my new bucket bag for MYSELF to use..It is about time that the rehabber starts carrying her own clean & shiny bag :D
.Loads to learn about...but that is the fun part for me. Investigating & researching. Thanks again :sunshine:Hope to CHAT AGAIN SOON!:wave:SheriDahlin .
 
The ladies have steered you true. Horsekeeping is a great site for those that want to learn about Dooney.��❤️

Enjoy your exploration of Dooney. Not sure it's better than The Good Wife...but it's close!

Hi! Hoping someone can give me help re: the authenticity of this Dooney Cabriolet bag, please? Thanks! :)
eBay item # 201513461989

It's probably okay but two of the pictures show the bag inside plastic, a bunch of pictures show paperwork and there are no pictures showing the inside, the bottom or the red, white and blue tag with serial number!

Also, I wonder whether the first two pictures (showing the bag in plastic) show the same item as the bag in the rest of the pictures.

Again, the bag is probably okay but the seller isn't showing enough of the right pictures and too many of the wrong pictures that don't prove much.

I've requested more pictures from the seller. Never thought about there being 2 bags...thanks for that tip! Im just too willing to trust people, I think.
 
I asked about this bag yesterday; the seller updated their auction with more pictures. Also added this in the description:
THE NUMBER ON THE BACK OF THE RED TAG IS 7 99344 22360 1 PLUS C301C BL

Here's the link again...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/201513461989?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Thanks for giving it a second look!
As I said before, I think the bag is okay but what she gave you is the UPC code from the back of the red cardboard pricetag.

What I want to see is both sides of the red, white and blue cloth tag with serial number sewn into the lining seam inside the bag.
 
Hi, here are three bags to authenticate, please

dooney n bourke leather purse
