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.

This is the part of the warranty card that has the item number and color of the wristlet. View attachment 3486011

Hi TaterTots,

So glad you answered. Thanks for your respond. Do you have extensive knowledge about this brand? So, why dont you become the authenticator in this thread? I wanna make sure so i would like asked you few questions. Hope you dont mind. Are you sure mine is real (i mean authentic)? And how about the brown stitching at the corner-bottom part? And why does this wrislet have no serial number label sewn at the wristlet it self?
 
Hello, ladies! Would you kindly authenticate this Legal Brief? Thank you in advance :smile:

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.

And these are the rests. What do you think about this purse? Is it good? Need your answer. Thankyou in advance :smile:

Hello,

Would anyone (authenticaors) please help me to see my Dooney wrislet? Please reply, i need your help. Thanks :smile:

I'm not an authenticator, but I believe that wristlet is a "MFF" style (made for the Dooney Factory outlet stores). They used that same emblem on the front of a collection for the outlets. I hope that helps a bit. (I'm not sure if the Authenticators are familiar with the outlet pieces.)

The piece you posted is a Dooney & Bourke envelope clutch in saffiano leather. It is 100% authentic. If this was purchased at an outlet it might be irregular, which would explain the lack of a care card. Hope this helps.

It's authentic but the box shown in one of the pictures isn't the box for the item. Either the box was mixed up with the box from another Dooney item or the seller just used a different box. (The labeling doesn't match.)

But there's no problem with authenticity.

Hello,

You look very familiar to this one, you should be have one for your own or you may have experience to deal with this item. If it is really authentic then about the yarn color and the 'have no serial number' issue isn't matter at all. Maybe it's just a little imperfection appeared during producing this wristlet. Thankyou for your kind help. GBU always.
 
Hi TaterTots,

So glad you answered. Thanks for your respond. Do you have extensive knowledge about this brand? So, why dont you become the authenticator in this thread? I wanna make sure so i would like asked you few questions. Hope you dont mind. Are you sure mine is real (i mean authentic)? And how about the brown stitching at the corner-bottom part? And why does this wrislet have no serial number label sewn at the wristlet it self?
Not all items have red, white and blue tags with serial numbers sewn in to them. And on others, it can be tricky to locate it even if it's there.

I'm not familiar with this actual item so I don't know whether it would have one. When I authenticate an item, I make my assessment based on the details of the item itself because THAT is what proves (or disproves) authenticity. In fact, red/white/blue serial tags can and have been faked so just because a bag has one doesn't mean it's authentic.)

Hi TaterTots,

Forgot to ask you one more. Why this one has no care card? Thankyou
Not all items and brands have "care cards" and even those that do don't always include them. Loose items like care cards, tags, hang tags, fobs, boxes, etc. can be separated, lost or discarded. Additionally, genuine props might be used by dishonest sellers to "prove" authenticity of a fake or fake props have often been mistakenly included with authentic items.

Removable props don't prove nor should be used as a determiner of authenticity.
