Thank you
WOW! I didn't know Hadrian was still selling bags. Where does he sell, PM?
WOW! That R38 satchel with the tags still on it! I've been looking around for one of those, since I let one slip away from me on Goodwill. I'm still sore about it.

He sells on a you tube live. Look for his page and tap the bell for alerts. He does a few every week.

I found this Satchel bag at a thrift store today. I thought it looked cool. An authentication is appreciated and or any information you have as to the name of this style. A6 263966. Also, any idea what this pale green color is called? Thank you so much!

Im looking for help with this older Dooney and Bourke I'm interested in purchasing online and I'm second guessing myself on its authenticity. I believe it's a messenger bag, at least that's what I would guess from the styles I've seen in the last 10 years. I'm just not sure about the inside being just leather, no inside cloth or the standard setup, key keeper....It has the red, blue, and canvas colored tag (I have not messaged to see other side that has the numbers- which I will do after posting this). I would appreciate any thoughts and thank you in advance.

That is from D&B Alto line; they're typically unlined, and structured. They are made in Italy, the back side of the D&B tag will have the serial numbers and begin with an I. @lavenderjunkie do you have this in your collection?

Oh that's great to hear cuz I can't sleep over thinking this bag. Lol
I don't own any of the alto leathers yet and do u think this one looks in pretty good shape? Also I don't know if this is allowed but how much is it worth? I don't want offer too little and I don't want to over pay. I've only heard great things about alto... I just haven't had the Xtra money to splurge on a new one. Thank u for helping identify this beautiful bag.

I was able to find the bag listed on the D&B website going all the way back to 2000.
So that bag is truly vintage, and looks to be in great shape.

I purchased this Dooney Kendra at a thrift. From what I have read, I believe this is considered to be Patterson leather. It all seems right EXCEPT it has smooth, red leather lining. I would appreciate finding out if this is really an authentic dooney. Thanks!!

Good afternoon dear authenticators! A request to authenticate please. Thank you!!

Item Name (if you know it): coated canvas wristlet
Link (if available): no link, purchased at thrift store
Then attach any photos (all authentication must include photos.)

Hello @BeenBurned ! I hope this does not seem pushy but I want to send this to a fellow tpfer tomorrow. Thank you as always for all your help! I will understand if you are unable to respond to my request. ETA: not selling it. It is a gift.
I'm so sorry. I haven't been getting messages from the Dooney subforum and have been lax in checking the thread.

The wristlet is genuine.
