I'm happy to confirm they're both authentic. I know the feeling of falling in love with these beautiful vintage AWL bags!

Flat pouch with removeable straps. The body is vinyl, but the strap and trim are leather. Buckle says "solid brass". I found it at a local thrift store. Is it supposed to be used as is, or do these insert into something else...or, is it even a "real" thing? I only have a couple Dooney & Bourkes, so I've never seen anything like it. Your help would be greatly appreciated!

It's two authentic Dooney parts. One is a removable inside pocket from a bag such as this Large Norfolk Case. Someone has attached an authentic Dooney strap to the pocket. It didn't come that way.

I bought this Dooney bag at a thrift store yesterday. It looks like a well-made bag, but a couple of things have me wondering if it is fake. First, the metal logo is just DB, not Dooney and Bourke spelled out. Second, the serial number inside the bag doesn't get any hits on Google. It's K9524491. The bag looks similar to the Janey tote, but the top is curved and there is contrast stitching. Is this real or fake? Thank you!

It looks OK to me. Please wait for @BeenBurned to confirm.
 
Thank you! So odd that I can't find any images on Google of that metal DB logo, but if people on this forum say it's probably authentic, I believe you. It looks well made, not like a knock-off.

Out of curiosity I searched eBay to see if I could find other examples of that metal DB logo. It's uncommon! But I found a few:

And a key fob:

Hi! I found this bag in a thrift store and am wondering if it's authentic, and if so, what the model is/what year it was made in? I've never bought a Dooney and Bourke bag before but I picked this one up on a whim because the leather and craftsmanship was so nice. There isn't a D&B tag inside of the lining, just a made in China tag.

Thank you so much! The authenticators on this website are so amazing and hardworking :~).
