It looks good. I believe it's from the mid-80s.

Hi,
I was cleaning out my closet and came across this bag. I got it as a gift years ago. It is the Dooney and Bourke charm collection mini duffel bag. I remember Lindsay Lohan promoting this line. I looked at other bags online and this one seems off. The bags I saw all have blue gingham lining and this one has plain blue. The inside tag says made in Italy but all the other bags don’t have that. The serial number will register on D&B. Com. I think this is a fake but wanted confirmation.
Thank you.

Hi again, could someone please have a look at this wallet? I found it at the same place I found the really nice D&B purse a few weeks ago (just a little ways up this thread) so I guess this came in with that matching purse. Thanks!

Item: Wallet
Seller: local Goodwill

HAHA...this is NOT a duplicate of Jacynthe's November 16 post, but great minds do think alike, and have the same taste in bags!
This one is also from a local thrift, pre-tag, early 80's? R58, DB fob, 10x10x6.
Only difference is mine has a replacement shoulder strap.
Authentication appreciated...thanks, as always in advance!DSCF6207.JPG DSCF6208.JPG DSCF6209.JPG DSCF6210.JPG DSCF6211.JPG DSCF6212.JPG DSCF6213.JPG DSCF6214.JPG

It's authentic. Nice find!

The rivets holding the loop for the strap could have been replaced, I'm not sure. The "button" type brass rivets were used on most Dooney AWL bags, but yours was an earlier model.

ETA: I just realized Jaycinthe posted the same style a few posts back, so I looked at the rivets.
They are the flat type also, so this style rivet was obviously used on the earlier models
.

Interesting trivia: In this 1985 ad, Dooney calls the 10x10x6 drawstring "small," but most sellers list it as "medium."

And could someone please give an opinion on this envelope wallet/checkbook?
Also from local thrift...W04, 7”w x 4”h x 1”d closed.
Any info is always appreciated...thanks again!View attachment 4613510 View attachment 4613511 View attachment 4613512 View attachment 4613513 View attachment 4613514 View attachment 4613515
