New member, first time posting. (hope I'm doing this right)
Please help me verify if these bags are authentic. I'm in love with this dooney and bourke handbag. I had one when they came out and sold it in a garage sale and regret it; so I'm looking to replace it.

WElcome!

Both listings are authentic.

For future authentication requests, please refer to post #1 of the thread (most/all brands) for the required posting format. (There's no need to repost this time!)

Hello! I need help authenticating this bag I recently purchased. I would also be interested to know its age, if the serial number tells that? I will add the link, however it will show as "sold" since I jumped the gun & already purchased.. P.S. I hope my pictures are okay!

Link to bag; Dooney & Bourke Vint… ($75) is on sale on Mercari, check it out! https://item.mercari.com/gl/m224518799/

Serial Number: A9858171

It's authentic. (It's not necessary to post pictures when they're in the listing. In the future, a picture of both sides of the serial number tag is needed and helpful.)

Neither you nor the seller state the measurements so it's hard to tell which size carrier it it but in looking at the pictures, it appears to be a small vintage shoulder bag (if about 9 x 7).

Sorry! This was only my second post, so I am learning. Also, I was emailed the pictures of the inside- They were not included in the listing for some reason. Thank you for letting me know and getting back to me so quickly. The seller didn't actually send a picture of the serial number, just told me the number. I did see the front side of the tag. Any idea how old it might be?

Age is probably early to mid 90s. someone else might have a better idea of the age.

Though the detials shown in the pictures were enough to authenticate, just stating a serial number isn't good enough for authentications. the counterfeiters can and do use seemingly "real" serials on fakes. It's the font, spacing, texture of the tag, etc. that are needed to be seen.

In any case, your bag is genuine.

I purchased this purse at a resale shop. I'm wondering if it is authentic. It would appear to be vintage however it looks new. Please tell me if it is counterfeit.
Thanks!

Hi I am a newbie here. I posted a question about a bag and no one has responded yet. I'm wondering if I posted correctly? Can you offer some guidance?

Welcome.

Keep in mind that those of us who post here volunteer our expertise on our own time and without any type of compensation, often without even a "thank you" from posters.

We have jobs, families, obligations and real lives so sometimes it can be hours or even a day before posts are answered. (I usually respond within minutes of posts and generally, the Dooney authentication thread is a one-authenticator brand! Others help and for that I'm grateful but it was only about 3 hours between your request and followup looking for an answer.)

Please be patient and allow the volunteers time to have their own lives!

For future requests, refer to post #1 for information:
