Hello,
Listing: Dooney & Bourke Signature Canvas Barrel Bag w/Leather Accent and Zipper Top
Seller: talonsuniquefindsfla
Listing number: 113443800349
https://www.ebay.com/itm/113443800349
Is this bag authentic? Also, does Dooney & Bourke use silver hardware? Would this bag have come with a Fob?
Thank you
It's an authentic signature barrel bag. I believe it would have come with a fob with an enameled duck similar to the attached:

I'm looking for an authentication on this item, in part because I found one exactly like it, but green, yesterday but did not buy it because the pale material on the lining is not leather, but some kind of sueded fabric, and it has some damage where it has stuck to the leather in places and pulled off the flocking, and you can see the same kind of damage inside this one. But there are a lot of these larger planner portfolio things that have the same material, and pockets instead of a ring binder, etc., so I'm looking to know if D&B actually made a planner like this, or if authentic D&B would have been lined with leather, and there are just a LOT of this exact type of fake out there. I know you can't authenticate the item I did not buy, but if THIS item is authentic I may go back because it was only $4 and was in reasonably good shape.

The planner in the listing is authentic. That light beige coating was used inside wallets, coin pouches and planners like that one. It did tend to flake off, unfortunately.

Thank you! I think I will go back after the green one, then. I carried it around because everything but that slightly damaged fabric looked good to me, but I wasn't sure, and put it back. Knowing they did use this type of material, I'm pretty well convinced the one I left behind is authentic. Maybe I can catch it before someone else does.

If you can get that for $4, you'll have (almost) literally stolen it! It's awesome when that happens!
Nice find!
 
Hello, I am helping my grandmother clean out her closets and we came across this supposed D&B bag. She thinks it is from the late 80s, early 90s. I don't see a tag inside other than a made in China tag, so I feel like it is fake. Can anyone help us authenticate? Thank you!8CEA7B21-F6CF-497F-ADC1-A313F7B5D185.jpeg

Request for authentication please. Thank you!!
Item Name : large hobo?
Link; none, purchased at GW. dimensions 12"Wx9"Hx4"depth
Comments; I have older DnB (AWL) where the strap is removable by brass 'buttons'. This bag seems to have the "buttons" but is sewed on and non removable. Since I am not too familiar with this style, and it was purchased at GW, I am requesting an authentication please. Also, the interior tag is sewn into the leather so I am unable to lift it to show you the serial number. Thank you!
