Hello,
I would appreciate your help in authenticating the following bag. Recently I have seen a few of these pop-up online, but I am unfamiliar with the style (Norwalk?). Thank you for your help!

Item: Dooney And Bourke Small Handbag
Listing number: 263282471135
Seller: lozan-loga
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dooney-And...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649
Comments: Should this style have a tag inside the bag? If so, I will ask for a pic of it. I noticed there is a small nick or white spot on the leather near the handle, so depending on what type of leather this is, maybe I can polish it?

It should have a tag inside.

There was a line called the Glove Collection in the late 1990s but I'm not familiar enough with it to authenticate. I don't see any obvious issues with this one, but please wait for @BeenBurned to have a look.

The white spot may just be sitting on the surface and can be brushed or wiped off. If not, it can be painted over by daubing with a little black acrylic puff paint mixed with conditioner. I would not recommend shoe polish.

I went ahead and bought this while Ebay had their 15% off promo since it seemed to be ok. The seller sent me pics of the tag after I purchased it and said he would hold the transaction until I could evaluate them. What do y'all think?

Looks good! Genuine soft satchel from the glove leather collection, mid- to late-90s.
 
I got this from TJ MAXX but I still want to be sure it's not fake since I couldn't find this a purse like it online. It's call Mary. When. I search for that name I see purses that are similar but they have pebbled leather and the Dooney and Bourke name plate are metal. TYIA!

It looks authentic to me. Other opinions welcome!

I don't know why it has the leather duck emblem instead of the metal one. I've only seen the leather one on the Florentine line.
 
EXEX on the tag may mean it was an exclusive made for a large customer like Macy's or Dillards, etc. or it might have been a Dooney sample bag. The Mary style was available on QVC many years ago. Dooney has recently brought it back. It's not uncommon for Dooney to change up the logo or the leather on a style. The leather patch used to be exclusively for Florentine handbags. But in the last year people have found the leather patch on the Florentine style satchel made by Dooney but done in other leathers. The bags were bought directly from Dooney or I Love Dooney (the Dooney outlet) or one of the Dooney outlet stores, so there was not question as to the authenticity of those.
