I would greatly appreciate an opinion on this wristlet. In looking at several others, it looks okay to me, but I'm curious as to why anyone has yet to bid on it at it's price. The seller is also new, so doesn't have a history to look at yet. I'm attaching the photos s/he sent me of the tags. Thank you in advance.

In my opinion it's authentic.

Speculating as to why no one has bid yet:
1. Many auctions don't get bids until the last few hours (or seconds) before the end of the auction
2. Seller did not include important key words in the title: Disney, Mickey, Minnie, so the item won't appear in search results looking for these specifics
3. Seller misspelled "wristlit" so the item won't appear in search results looking for "wristlet"
4. Seller did not include pictures of the tags, potential buyer has to ask for them

C820C206-34C7-4270-A3C0-68543BDB5D6F.jpeg Can anyone identify this Dooney? I have the original paperwork. It’s being donated for our annual purse auction and I am stumped to find the original description.

The old paperwork identified it was
style A68KY/ color BU.
 
View attachment 4196401 Can anyone identify this Dooney? I have the original paperwork. It’s being donated for our annual purse auction and I am stumped to find the original description.

style A68KY/ color BU.

The number on the paperwork is for a different bag, please see:
https://kentuckybranded.com/shop/dooney-bourke-uk-satchel/
(University of Kentucky satchel, notice the SKU number A68KY)

I don't see any problems in the photo you've provided, but for authentication purposes we like to see both sides of the bag and the inside tags. Please post more photos so authenticity can be confirmed. Thanks!
 
View attachment 4196412 This is another purse from the same donor I’m having issues finding. Same situation. Purse is in beautiful donation. I’ve gotten the number off the interior tag. It’s
A5146079.
For authentication purposes, please post a photo of the inside showing the sewn-in tags. The number you got from the back of the tag is unique to that bag and can't be used to identify the style.

I’m wondering if anyone can share any info on this purse. It was in a box of items given to me, but no paperwork and nobody knows where it came from. I appreciate any help!
It's authentic, but I don't know the style name. The snipped tag indicates that the bag was probably sold at an outlet store - it might have been an overstock or slightly imperfect bag.

Here are a few more pictures. She sent us several well kept DB bags. Much better than last year when every DB older bag seemed to need a bath. Those poor babies. These are lovely in contrast.
