Thanks Catbird! Have any idea when it was made ( approx?). The logo is so different than Im used to! Also, I'm thinking about dunking and conditioning ;)
The Donegal line was introduced in the late 1990s. I've never owned one so I don't know about dunking. You might post a question on the Coach Rehab & Rescue thread. It looks like beautiful leather.
 
Hello everyone,
I got this from GW I'm not sure about the strap, and it doesn't have a Duck emblem ,or fob. It's all black, with an adjustable buckle any help with dating and the name thanks

Congrats on this find, @sagg99! @Catbird correct me please if I'm wrong but isn't this piece from the Bayou collection? The white sticker you see gives the style number and color and I love seeing these white stickers in vintage bags of this age...means the sticker has made it close to 20-25 years in this case (circa 1996). Here is catalog pic:

I'm not too familiar with the Bayou collection, so thanks for the catalog pic. I thought the Bayou bags were all croc and bamboo and coated woven fabric. Looks like there were some all-leather bags too!

Thank you for the catalog picture, I'm assuming it's the sporting pouch since my bag has U115 BL not sure if BL means blue, or black though

BL is the code for black. It looks to me like style 115 would be the Square Flap Bag, shown on the page of croc styles. I can't read the measurements, but that would be the way to confirm it.
 
Hi-

Would someone mind authenticating this? I picked it up at an estate sale. It's in pretty bad condition, but figured it was cheap enough to take the risk. I don't know anything about DB but it's a crossbody style with a black and tan strap (sorry I forgot to take a picture of that)IMG_4857.JPG
