Hello!
Hoping for an authentication. Many thanks in advance.
Item: NWOT Vintage Dooney and Bourke Crossbody
Seller: spa doodles

Comment: There were photos of the inside of the bag, which looked fine to me (has removable pocket, lock is sewn in). The sellers can only post 4 photos at a time, so the tag & serial number were posted at my request. I believe this is a Cavalry Spectator? I hope all's well with it. Thanks.
You might want to look for @houseof999 and @houseofcoach999 's posts on "authenticate this Coach" and my reasons for not authenticating Poshmark listings.

Long story short, the buyer got a very obvious fake Coach bag, filed a dispute, Poshmark's team of "experts" denied her claim and declared the bag as authentic. After much back and forth, PM agreed to examine the bag in person, did so and still insisted that this fake bag was authentic.

Their buyer protection didn't help her and PM's experts are not as expert as they claim to be.

Additionally, that site is overrun with fakes and although there's a "report" button, listings for counterfeit items are NEVER removed.

I (personally) refuse to help a site like Poshmark improve its bottom line.

(Each authenticator has the right to help or ignore any requests. I just think buyers and sellers should be aware of Poshmark and the harm that can come should an issue arise.)

Thanks for your insight. However, I still appreciate Catbird9's willingness to reply to my request. I know that this is a free service, and I appreciate her help. Have a great weekend!
 
Hi!
Please authenticate this bag. I am new to Dooney and Bourke and this is my first purchase. I tried to capture the numbers on the back of the red and white tag by photo but they are not visible by camera. The black tag reads, "Made in China " and the numbers read J9131426. Thanks so much for your assistance!

I do usually like to see the back of the tag (serial number side) but you needn't post it. The bag is authentic.
 
Hi authenticators,

Can you please help me with this Dooney little clutch? I dont know this type's name. I wonder why the serial number label isnt sewn inside of the purse, i already checked all sides inside it. I bought it online from a seller. It comes with box but not with dustbag and tag. Also theres a card, i dont know what card it is, is it a care card or waranty card. The card is written the serial number and color of this purse, and i think its kind of warranty card maybe. This purse made in China, its written on the label inside the purse. The gold lettering on the card slot is written Dooney and Bourke, below the it theres also a writing by capital letter with little sized font SINCE 1975. When i touch the purse, it feel thick and good: the leather, fabric, sewing line, yarn, metal. The sticker on the box shows the code and serial number of the product but it doesnt match with the card. The serial number also cant be found anywhere at the purse itself. This makes me confused. And here i attach some pictures, if the evidences not good/ strong enough so you cant tell wether its authentic or not, please let me know, maybe i can ask payment receipt from the seller to be shown additionaly, just in case if you still need more prooves. The seller admitted that he bought directly from the Dooney store in US

Here are next pictures. In one picture looks that the bottom corner part has the brown yarn in the sewing line, but actually the yarn should be still consistent in white ( the left and roght side of the bottom corner sides are same). And another picture shows the double stitching, but to me its okay and normal, and the pattern is still neat.

Hello,
I'm hoping to buy my first Dooney and I'd appreciate your opinion on the authenticity of these listings.
I'm new to buying online as well, so I'm not sure what red flags to look for.
Much appreciated!

[QHello,"Flyin'Elephant, post: 30678083, member: 596292"]Hi authenticators,

Can you please help me with this Dooney little clutch? I dont know this type's name. I wonder why the serial number label isnt sewn inside of the purse, i already checked all sides inside it. I bought it online from a seller. It comes with box but not with dustbag and tag. Also theres a card, i dont know what card it is, is it a care card or waranty card. The card is written the serial number and color of this purse, and i think its kind of warranty card maybe. This purse made in China, its written on the label inside the purse. The gold lettering on the card slot is written Dooney and Bourke, below the it theres also a writing by capital letter with little sized font SINCE 1975. When i touch the purse, it feel thick and good: the leather, fabric, sewing line, yarn, metal. The sticker on the box shows the code and serial number of the product but it doesnt match with the card. The serial number also cant be found anywhere at the purse itself. This makes me confused. And here i attach some pictures, if the evidences not good/ strong enough so you cant tell wether its authentic or not, please let me know, maybe i can ask payment receipt from the seller to be shown additionaly, just in case if you still need more prooves.

Hi Flyin Elephant!! Yes this is what I believe is called an Envelope wristlet or wallet. I've kicked myself for almost a year for letting one of these slip through my fingers. They come in 2 sizes if not 3 with one being much larger then the other 2. I just love Dooney's Saffiano Leather and in this color it's amazing. I have the matching Satchel in this color.
