It looks authentic to me. I haven't seen that lining and pocket configuration on a vintage briefcase. Possibly it was a very early version. Other opinions welcome.

It’s real and it’s an early bag. Very nice. I saw this earlier while surfing and was impressed but I don’t buy large bags. Possibly maroon which is rarer than rouge.

Yes! I just came across this example of a similar inside pocket on a pre-tag Small Satchel, which I believe might be maroon.

I got this Dooney and Bourke purse from a family friend as a gift, and don’t know the first thing about whether or not it’s real. Thanks for any help! :)

Authentic. It's from the Nile (croc-embossed) collection and is a pocket zip top. Original retail was $335 in approx. 2005.
Here's a discussion started by someone who is a fan of the style:

Thank you guys anyway...will have to try and catch her again with the bag but she only comes once a week and everytime a different bag.
Could one of you lovely laddies be able to tell me if this bag is authentic.
It's for a regular customer in my shop so no link, sale etc.
She came in again with the bag and I was only able to get these few shots of the bag. Hope they are clear enough. She was in a bit of a rush but kindly let me take them.20190829_132641.jpg 20190829_132645.jpg 20190829_132658.jpg 20190829_132712.jpg
