Correct. But I have to save, even though the bags have been well used and distressed, I was not overwhelmed by the way they were all crammed in the one box.

That seller offers some rare bags from time to time, and I was watching that auction. I thought the Equestrian might have been the rarer "wheat" color.

All Weather Leather is definitely a different animal than vintage glove-tanned Coach!

It bothers me too when sellers cram bags together and package them poorly.

Well again, thanks! They were delivered earlier in the day and as I was working the rest of the day, I was just convincing myself they were not authentic. So now, it's still sinking in . . . .
 
Hello, I'd be very grateful if you could confirm if this bag is authentic or not please. I've never seen this style of textured leather on a Dooney before (although I'm far from being any kind of expert!).

Item: Dooney & Bourke Crossbody Leather Shoulder Bag With Removable Straps Brand New
Listing number: 153847906170
Seller: kday1920
Link: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/153847906170
Comments: I've asked the seller about the authenticity and tags but haven't had a response yet.

Thanks in advance!

I think it looks fine. The leather looks like it's an exaggerated copy of Louis Vuitton's Epi leather. Ideally, she should be showing both sides of the red, white and blue tag with serial number.

Thanks so much, that's very reassuring! It was the unusual similarity with the LV Epi leather and the slightly crooked stitching across the top (perhaps due to the wavy leather) that made me question whether it might not be real. Hopefully the seller will send a photo of the tag soon.

I have a Dooney tote in the wavy leather in royal blue. I remember the wavy leather tote also came in that purple. I love the purple.

I just purchased this bag from an ebay seller. The strap is missing so I'm trying to determine what the name of this bag is and the color so I can try to find a replacement strap. I'm thinking its tan but it could also be butterscotch or natural. I can't tell from the Dooney website which is closest to this bag. Thoughts?
