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
Both are authentic.

FYI....The grey one appears to be Saffiano leather which is an embossed
and coated leather.
@lavenderjunkie You are correct. It is an embossed Saffiano leather. I could not believe my luck at the Goodwill. Both of these bags were marked relatively low. All of the overpriced junk was in the showcase, go figure. Both bags were on my 'want' list.

Any information about this style and year(s) available, if authentic, would be appreciated. It appears to be a Portofino style, but if it can be confirmed. If you need additional pictures, please let me know. Thank you!

I think that is the Portofino leather very plush and heavy.
