I am hoping someone could look at this bag for me and authenticate or give it a thumbs down. I have a friend that is selling some that she bought used, assuming they were real. The first one was a fake (thanks to this site, I knew it before buying!). She isn't trying to pass them off, just doesn't know. She can use the $$, so am happy to buy them if they are real! It is 15" wide, 9" high and 6IMG_3215.JPG IMG_3217.JPG IMG_3218.JPG IMG_3219.JPG IMG_3220.JPG IMG_3221.JPG IMG_3222.JPG IMG_3229.JPG IMG_3230.JPG " deep. Thanks so much!

I'm seeing both a bag and wristlet. Both are fine.
 
Thanks so much for taking a look! The wristlet is attached to the bag with a nylon tie. Are they supposed to go together or are they separate? I assumed it was part of the bag. Thanks again!
There are combo bundles made, often for QVC or a department store exclusive. This could very well be that type of bundle.
 
Hi! I recently got this dooney bag but I'm not sure if this can be considered a dooney vintage or an authentic dooney for that matter. Maybe someone is also familiar with the style because as per my research i think this style comes in different sizes. Mine has these size dimentions (approximate): H-8in (measured from the lowest point of the bag height), W- 9.5-10in, Depth at bottom- 3.5in. Would appreciate it if someone can authenticate this dooney for me and maybe provide some details also. Unfortunately I can't post a link because this was sold to me by a friend. However i'm hoping the pictures attached will be enough. Thanks so much in advance.

The bag is an authentic AWL (all weather leather) hobo from the early 2000s.
 
Seller #1: smartandhonest
Seller #2: twothousand11

I believe both sellers are the same person using different accounts.

I have no idea whether those straps are made by Dooney and Bourke. For all we know, they could have been made by LV! I do think that the yellow thread is too yellow.

IMO, without any markings, those straps are ripe for SNAD disputes because the seller has no proof that they were made by Dooney or that they came with a Dooney bag.

Thanks, for your reply...I do believe both sellers are the same person, since the descriptions are the same, word for word.
 
Hi! Would like again to avail of our authenticators' expertise. Hope somebody can give details about this bag and confirm its authenticity. The dooney tag i think has been cut-off. In one of the pictures you can see yellow threads on where i think the tag should have been. :)

Here is the link with additional pictures I requested from the seller: https://www.olx.ph/item/dooney-and-bourke-ID836AA.html?h=bb561fc254
