Good evening! I purchased this bag and would like help in verifying the color and style. I believe this is a Surrey bag in AWL but for the life of me, I can't tell if it is navy or black. I'm considering putting on the resale market and would like to make sure I list it properly. Attached are photos of the bag and tags. I'm leaning toward navy but lighting can make a difference. Not sure if the serial number means anything regarding color to help clarify. Thank you!+pwnDjbsTd+uMQVcCVQSVw.jpg2LR3nwGoRoORR1+I05sSGg.jpgDB AWL front.jpgDB AWL Duck.jpg

It's authentic and I believe it's a very dark navy. (The last picture looks blue to me.)

If you take it outdoors in natural light and compare to something you know is black, you might get a better idea of whether it's black or blue.

If you can't tell, just describe it as being either black or very dark navy but you can't tell for sure.

Thank you! I just tried putting something black next to it and still can't decide. I'll wait to list until daylight when I can check it again. I always thought of the bag as black.

Hi everyone. I'm brand new here, and I look forward to getting to know all of you! This is not a photo of my exact bag (as I don't currently have it on me). However, it is the same. I'll have already done half your work for you right now because I do know for a fact my bag is authentic. It was gifted to me several years ago. Now here is where I will need your help: because it was gifted, I don't know the style number or the official name of this bag. Any help would be very deeply appreciated as I'm trying to register it. Thank you!

Hi. Welcome to TPF.

I'm sorry but 1/2 the work isn't done because nothing can be authenticated without pictures of the actual item. Just because you think a bag looks like the same one doesn't mean it is the same. And in fact, with just one picture shown, there's no way to authenticate the bag you showed here either.

When you receive the bag you're asking about, post pictures - front, back, interior and both sides of the red, white and blue tag with serial number.
 
Just a heads up for Dooney sellers: add buyer felixcat_toys to your BBL. She left slanderous feedback claiming a clearly authentic wallet is counterfeit. Only silver lining is that she's returning it and the wallet is worth more than she paid at auction. This is the listing she is (OBVIOUSLY) confused about https://www.ebay.com/itm/373360107158

Thank you for the BBL candidate. Your buyer couldn't be more wrong.

Dear authenticators,
I recently thrifted this Dooney Costa Rica satchel bag. Is it authentic? If anyone knows the style name or age I would really appreciate it!
Dimensions are 11.5” wide at the base, 9” tall, and 4.5” deep, front to back.

It's an authentic AWL (all weather leather) satchel but I don't know the name. Dooney didn't always give fancy names to their bags until more recently. There may be a white sticker inside the zipper pocket with style info.
 
This is a purse that I found but after looking into it, it seems to be fake. It has no indication of a tag ever being present, although there seems to be something sewed in between the pockets that I'm confused about. It's also black on the inside and has no tag or anything to indicate where it came from. I'm curious about the uk pat. number in the first picture and if someone could tell me more about that. Is there any market for the purse and is it legal to even sell it if it's not real?PXL_20210108_153717154.jpg
