It's authentic but I can't recall the name of the style/collection. It's from between 15 and 20 years ago.
 
Can anyone authenticate? Thanks

Thanks! the mixture of silver and gold hardware was throwing me off
I'm not an authenticator.... but for your info, it looks like a Dillen satchel...
the design, the logo plate, and the interior lining material, are all consistent
with what I have in Dooney Dillen satchels.

The metal trim in the Dillen I and Dillen II line are all light gold
(which can sometimes look silver in certain lighting).
I have never seen this collection with any silver trim
and I've seen dozens of Dillen satchels (back in the day) in the
Dooney retail store.

If it is indeed silver color trim then it might have been a sample bag, or more likely the trim faded due to cleaning products used. Again, I can't speak to authenticity of any bag,
I'm just a collector.
