I got this for $55 + $15 shipping.
What do you think? REAL? Good buy?
This is my first purse purchase. I bought it because I love horses and the color combo.

my last one, is a pebble grain drawstring. It looks to be nearly brand new. i think it's still being sold on the website. with the V-serial number, I'm guessing it's made in Vietnam, AWL 3.0?
Sky Blue?
$65 paid + $15 shipping

I'm not comfortable with this one. That Dooney tag inside is weird.

But I'd like to see a few more pictures. Please post closer pictures of the bottom of the bag and feet, side view, front of the bag straight on, standing upright and a full picture of the inside showing pockets, based and sides. Also please show the front where the handles attach and detach.
 
Hey there!

Did D&B collaborate with Talbot’s back in the day? I wasn’t aware that they made bags specifically for department stores. I believe they do for QVC, right?

I wasn't aware but it does appear that there was some type of collaboration. (This is the first time I've seen genuine bags with the duck in the lower right corner. The fakers have done it for a long time!)

I know right?! These totally threw me off. I swear, since I've been collecting vintage Dooney's, I'm always surprised by what I find. These guys were pretty quiet about their past collections.
 
Hi, I have some more photos for your viewing. I will post the areas you specified soon. Thank you for your help.

I believe it's a fake.
