If the bag is listed for sale online, please post a link.

If the bag is in your possession and no link is available, please post pictures showing the entire bag, the interior, and the red white and blue tag sewn inside.

Thanks!
 
I've had this bag for quite a few years and never felt great about it's authenticity. I know I hardly paid anything for it at a thrift store. I've tried to find it online in the past but never have been able to find this exact style of bag in any color. It never had a duck fob or anything for me either. The quality seems legit as I've had plenty of other AWL bags in the past and still own quite a few. I don't think it's really super old though. It was really hard to get pics of both sides of the tag.

Authentic. It's probably a Crescent Hobo from the late 1990s. The H in the number on the back of the tag indicates it was assembled in China. Nice find!

Thank you for authenticating. I am very appreciative of your time.

Item: Surrey bags
Listing number: 173894225176
Seller: sellersrusthree
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/173894225176?ul_noapp=true
Comments:
I am leaning these are authentic. However the smaller bag looks more squarish which makes me believe that this is the small surrey. However, its missing the top tabs in the back. So this one must be the mini surrey bag but it does not look retangular in shape. I contacted the seller for the dimensions. The bigger bag looks authentic but not quite sure.

They're both authentic.

The smaller one is a Surrey but I can't be sure of the style without seeing the measurements. It might be the smaller, more square (and rare) variation of the Mini Rectangular, as shown here:
https://www.horsekeeping.com/Dooney/SR/sr126.htm

The larger one is a most likely a Carrier Shoulder Bag, style R701. It should measure about 11 x 8 x 3.

Thank you so much for taking the time to authenticating. The seller gave me these measurements for the smaller bag: 9" wide x 7"tall 26" tall with strap and depth 5". The depth is off but it does have the measurements of the mini rectangular

It's authentic.
 
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-Bourke-D-B-Greenwich-Connecticut-Tote-Hand-Bag-Purse-Wooden-Handles-/183206956861?hash=item2aa7fc4f3d:g:~VsAAOSwhfdacNNJ&nma=true&si=R1KZE2gbI7%2FqXEL4yI4b6utHkH8%3D&orig_cvip=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.
Thank you very much.
 
Hello! I recently bought this bag from the thrift store and fixed it up. I wasn't completely positive it was real however. But I did notice that the bag came with a little registration card as well. If anyone can tell me the year it was made, that would be awesome too please. Thank you!
