Hi. Can anyone authentic this bag, please. It looks real to me but we are thrown by the city below the D.B. and the hangtag.
It's authentic but I too would have been thrown by "Greenwich" since Dooney is from Norwalk, CT!

As for the fob, it's could be fake but it's also possible that the leather piece broke or was replaced with a ball chain.

In any case, the tote is genuine.

Listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/DOONEY-BOU...016698?hash=item1a7a7ac83a:g:BCIAAOSwi0RbBYem

ETA: Here's another listing of the same bag in a different color.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dooney-and...=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Regarding the listing in question and comparing to the different color bag I linked, I'm guessing that the seller, amazings.savings may have added the charm to the bag herself.

Hi, could you help me authenticate this dooney & bourke bag that I found at a yard sale.
Name: not known
Bag #: H4 590077

It has like a blue brown shade to it depending on how you look at it. My concern is that I've never seen a logo like that one.
Thanks

So I found this bag at a thrift recently. I'm assuming it's fake, but it has so many of the elements like the inner tag, registration number, riri zipper, stamped rivets, etc. But the main tag is nothing I have ever seen before. Would a knockoff do all the work to emulate the details, but not give it a recognizable main label? It is so weird, has anyone seen anything like this?

It's authentic. It's from the Glove Leather Collection, late 1990s probably.
