I am new to this website so please forgive any formatting mistakes that I miss. I just purchased this Dooney and Bourke square carrier from a seller on Etsy, with info as follows:

Name: Belmodo
Link: https://www.etsy.com/listing/105643...ier-crossbody-shoulder?show_sold_out_detail=1

I am wondering if this purse is real as my return window is very low. I realize that I should have made sure all characteristics were correct first but I didn’t know there were sites like this that existed. I’m skeptical because the stitching around the duck emblem is not like my others (I’ve noticed there was always a backstitch and this emblem does not have it). The rivets day dooney and bourke, solidbrass in the hardware. The slits on the handle is present so the straps can be moved. I have included pictures. Thank you to anyone who responds.

If you plan to buy other items from the seller, you might consider searching her seller ID on the forum. There's been discussion of quite a few listings.
These are just a couple:

I sell on consignment and am not sure this Dooney Wallet is authentic. I don’t see a red white blue tag which makes me doubtful. Owner says authentic, can I get another opinion

It's fine.

ETA: Here's the same style, credit card wallet, in another pattern:

Wallets rarely have red, white and blue serial tags.

BTW, I commend you for checking authenticity first! Very few consignment stores do it!

I'm cheating on Coach. Lol.

Item: Dooney and Bourke Lucy Pink Hydrangea Print Leather Shoulder Bag
Listing number: 282825867843
Seller: lmr7580
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dooney-and...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649

This is the tag inside.

I'm not an expert, so forgive me for butting in..... but isn't that a coated cotton handbag with leather trim? Don't be fooled by a listing that says leather for a handbag that has leather trim only. It doesn't take away from the look or quality of the bag, but you should know what you are getting.
 
it's fine. Your attached picture is too small but the one in the listing shows what we need to see.

Great thanks! I always seem to make the picture too small. Lol.

Yes it's definitely coated cotton. I didn't even realize that she said leather. Ha! My son plays comp basketball so I'm constantly in dirty gyms so the coated is perfect for that. Thanks for looking out!

Logo is different than what I’ve seen and I can’t find any drawstring bucket online that looks like this. Concerned about authenticity and if authentic what it’s called. Thanks image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg

It's fine.

Dooney has changed logos and plaques several times through the last 30 years. That one is the donegal crest logo.

Every detail screams pure Dooney; impossible that anyone else manufactured this bag. Nobody does it better! And I LOVE that logo. It's one of my very favorites.
