Hi! I found this Dooney at a thrift store today and it’s a style I haven’t seen before. It reminds me of the carrier style but the buckle is different and has 5 feet on the bottom. All the rivets on the inside are stamped “Dooney Bourke”, the buckle says “Solid Brass” and then on the underneath side of the leather side pocket flap, there’s the white information tag (different from the Dooney Bourke Made in USA tag) However, whenever I look up “East/west shoulder bag” a different style comes up that looks different from mine. I also thought it was weird that the straps weren’t detachable and that the leather sleeve/flap looked really different compared to some of my other Dooney’s. Please let me know if anyone knows if this is authentic and possibly the name of this bag. Thank you!

It's authentic.
 
It's one I haven't seen very often either. The white label on the back of the inside pocket belongs to that bag and gives the original style number R174, color (BO for Bone) and name, East/West Shoulder Bag.

Hi, me again lol, I found this Dooney at the thrift store and I’ve personally never seen one that was made in Italy yet. It’s about 16-17” length wise and 10” deep. It also has some Dooney and Bourke embossed (I guess you would call it that? Or stamped) on the front pocket flap/cover. This part is kinda hard to take a picture of but I’ll try to get the best picture of the stamp/embossment. It kinda looks like a small duffel bag to me but I’m not familiar yet with Dooney and Bourke’s newer items. Curious if anyone knew if it was real and what the style is?
Thank you!

I would love insight on this!
Picked it up at a thrift store for $80 (hefty for second hand). Serial say J11110302. The piping look a little wonky.

Thanks!
Sam

Does someone mind helping me verify and authenticate this bag. I was looking at this in the thrift and I wasnt sure if it's fake because it doesn't have the current day duck patches. I spent ten minutes looking at it noticing the quality of the leather, symmetry and the overall vintage look of it. It does look kinda 70's.
