Hello, yesterday I purchased this bag after thinking I had done enough research but something still makes me think it might be a fake. I think it’s a Cavalry Spectator Bag if real. Thank you in advance.

The bag is authentic.

It's not necessary to upload the pictures here as long as they're viewable in the listing. You can save yourself time and work!

Sorry to interrupt you @BeenBurned on this thread , but a question about Uggs....do all of them have the hologram?
No, holograms were added several years ago as a way to try to thwart the counterfeiters. I don't know exactly when they were added but older authentic Uggs don't have them.

Also, keep in mind that nothing is safe from being copied. I've also seen fake holograms and fake QR codes.

Thank you...I have a pair of uggs I thrifted in the Authenticate these shoes thread that Im not sure about...Authenticator asked about hologram which this pair doesn't have..not heard back from her yet.
Sad thing is even if they are real, my feet are too swollen at the moment to wear them.
 
Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a Dooney and Bourke bag from a consignment shop with the intention of reselling it. I am hoping someone can help me authenticate the bag, as I am not familiar with this brand and don't want to unintentionally sell a fake20210302_114130.jpg20210302_114113.jpg20210302_114118.jpg20210302_114147.jpg20210302_114159.jpg20210302_114220.jpg20210302_114225.jpg!

Sorry it's fake.

I'd return it for a refund and if they give you a hard time, remind them that it's illegal to sell fakes and they were supposed to verify authenticity before putting it on the selling floor.

Could someone give me any information on this vintage Dooney? I can't find another like this one, but it's similar to over under bags I've seen before. It is made of AWL and the straps are attached to the bag, but a part of the strap can be removed via the buckle on both sides. Inside is a sewn green DB label. It has a fob with a round DB instead of a duck. The back emblem is a smooth duck with Dooney & Bourke and All Weather Leather written and is almost unreadable. The metal holder has Solid Brass Taiwan R.O.C. If possible the year released, and the name if it's an over under bag? Thank you for any help

The bag is absolutely authentic, pre red, white and blue tag and pre-duck fob. I don't know the name of the style and I'm guessing it's from the late 70s.
