Sorry, it's fake.

Authentic big duck coin purses don't have red, white and blue tags or serial numbers but this is what they look like, inside and out.

Hi, could somebody authenticate this for me?

So far, there aren't any red flags but there should be pictures showing both sides of the red, white and blue label with serial number.

Could you please help me identify this bag.
I bought it off a vintage German site as Dooney is not common here in Europe.

The purse looks authentic to me, it comes with a matching credit card holder.The stitching is perfect and it has a tag with a serial number.
does anybody know the name of the style and approximately how old it is?

The bag is fine. I don't see any problems with the wallet but a picture of the inside would be helpful.

It has this typical Dooney red lining but no serial number

Do you happen to know the name of the tote?
It feels kind of plastic/but Dooney does not make faux leather bags as fas as I know / or is this Dooney‘s version of saffiano leather?

Dooney does make non-leather items, i.e., their IT collection items which are PVC coated fabric and feel leather-like.

I'm pretty certain this is leather although different leathers can feel different from one another.

Although I hesitate to say "never," I don't recall a Dooney wallet or card case with a red, white and blue serial tag though I have seen wristlet with them.

There's probably a black satiny "made in" tag somewhere inside one of the pockets of the wallet but that's all there likely is.

The bag is style HL640 and is called a Logo Lock Tote.

ETA: In an effort to be fully transparent, I'm not so knowledgeable or brilliant that I knew the style of the bag off the top of my head. I found a listing from a seller on ebay who showed the tag with name and style number.

Good afternoon!
I would like some assistance in authenticating another awkward, but curious DB Horseshoe Bag I found thrifting today. Many thanks!

Item name: (looking to confirm) Horseshoe Bag ? Not sure on color either.
Not listed, will be by me IF authenticated / after I clean it in such case.
Key notes here: I failed to check for a tag before I purchased and brought it home (purchased at a local consignment shop). I do not see any tag or signs of a cut/ripped/removed one... extremely dirty interior and exterior will also need my heavy attention to restore back to life. Luckily the price tag said "why not try it!". I also have reviewed horsekeeping.com to see if I could compare mine to theirs, however without the tag my knowledge currently is lacking. Thank you!

It's authentic and was made prior to the red, white and blue tag.
