Hello! Got this bag at a thrift store. Snatched it up too quick and now I'm pretty sure it's fake. I just wanted to check with y'all as my last step before deciding what to do with it! :sad:
Name: Vintage All Weather Leather Green Satchel?
Red Flags - The leather on the hangtag has flaked off. Zipper says K&K. None of the hardware says brass or dooney. No serial number or any tabs on the inside.

Size: 11inW X 5.5inD X 9inH

Thanks in advance!

Sorry but it's fake.

Personally, I'd return it and demand at least an exchange. Thrift stores are supposed to abide by the same laws as everyone else and aren't supposed to sell fakes, knowingly or not.
 
I got this at an estate sale and now that ive got a bit of time to really look at it im pretty sure its a fake. At first everything seemed right but im just noticing the back bottom bit that looks messy and the metal fobber decoration is to so wrong. Can anyone give me a little help if its real or not?

Good Evening, hope you are doing well!
I collected this Dooney & Bourke Florentine Black with Vacchetta a couple of weeks ago, and would like to verify authenticity and if possible model / year.

Item name: (looking to confirm) Purchased as a "Dillen II" Florentine Satchel, can't fully confirm this via google searches so far? Also, the usual confusion of other listings being called "vintage", while others claim it isn't is confusing lol.
Not listed Yet
Key notes here: I haven't done anything aside from a light condition and some tarnish / verdigris removal from fob area, to this bag. I keep thinking it is black colored, but from everything I've researched - It is probably a deep navy? Thank you for your time!

I cannot comment on authentication, (I don't have the expertise)
but this handbag appears to be a Dooney Dillen collection
pebbled leather handbag. The handbag trim is Florentine leather, in this collection,
but the body of the handbag is a thick pebbled leather, not smooth Florentine leather.
Dillen was a very good quality Dooney collection. I don't know if your handbag was
from Dillen I or Dillen II.
You can still sometimes find Dillen styles ( rescued from the warehouse) on I Love Dooney.
