Sorry. That bag is fake.

Unless you can remove the duck emblem, fob and any other markings that pretend that the bag is a Dooney, I don't recommend donating. The thrift store will resell it and another buyer will be fooled. (Even if they don't sell as authentic, it's illegal to do so.)

But without any markings, it's a generic bag and can be resold. The duck emblem is probably glued on and they're often easy to pry off.

I will try to pry it off then. I can always unstitch it. I’ll remove the fob.
 
Item: Alto Small Framed Satchel brown
Listing number: 203685914393
Seller: crowcountry / ebay
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/203685914393
Comments: Any information about this style and year(s) available, if authentic, would be appreciated. The leather looks almost like a florentine line instead of an alto style. Thank you!
The bag is authentic and came from the factory store, thus the snipped red, white and blue tag and stamp on the paperwork. I can't say how old it is.

Seller: katie pies's closet

Comments: New to vintage dooney bags was wondering if I could get this looked at? Has a dooney tag and assembled in costa rica tag and tag name but wasnt sure if it matches authentic dooney tags
It's fine and the sticker with the name of the style is correct for the bag. I'm not sure when it was made.

Hello,

Please authenticate two Dooney and Bourke handbags. Both were found at my local goodwill. The grey one has never been used and is tight so I could not photograph the J id number - just the front tag and the registration card. Thank you.

Item: Florentine Tassel Medium Pocket Tassel
Comments: Size: L= 11 in H = 8 in D = 4 in

Item: Grey Zip Zip Satchel
Comments: L = 13 in H = 10 in D = 5 in
