I'm asking about a possible Dooney & Bourke. It was going to be thrown out. If it is an authentic Dooney it will need a lot of love. I hope someone will be so kind as to make a judgement on this bag's authenticity. Thank you.

It's an authentic Carrier Shoulder Bag.
 
View attachment 4018180 View attachment 4018181 View attachment 4018182 View attachment 4018183 View attachment 4018184 View attachment 4018185 Can anyone please authenticate this Florentine Satchel? I think it's real but the fraying on the handle looks plastic and makes me nervous! This is my first time buying a nice purse for myself, so I hope I did well.

It seems authentic to me; other opinions welcome.

There is a reinforcement material fused to the back of the leather of the handle. Normally it's covered by edge paint, but the edge paint has worn off and you are seeing the frayed backing material.

I think you did well, it's a beautiful bag! Welcome to the Purse Forum.

Thanks for the help. I really wanted this purse to be authentic because I think it's beautiful. I've never been a real "Purse" person. I thought it was crazy to spend over $50 on a purse. I mean I've always liked cute purses, but fancy brands didn't matter to me. I'm still pretty cheap and have been trying my hand at buying used. This first used Dooney and Bourke Florentine Satchel is just glorious! I get it now. Ever since I got the purse I can't wait to see it, touch it, use it! I'm glad I took a chance on spending a little money to see what the big deal is-I so get it now! Thanks again for the help.

Comments: I tried comparing this item to an authentic one on horsekeeping.com. She doesn't show the Dooney & Bourke tag on the inside of the purse and fob seems off to me. Is this purse authentic.
The purse, the fob and the cosmetic bag are all authentic.
 
Can you please help me with this purse, pouch and fob? They are at a thrift store. I haven't seen the icon on the purse's dongle, or on the fob before; I've only ever seen the duck. There are no tags inside, just the leather "Dooney&Bourke" badge. The Zip pouch doesn't have any markings on the outside or zipper pull (zipper pull is YKK) and only a "Made in China" label on the inside. The pouches lining is black and white woven canvas. Pictures of the pouch and fob to follow.
