Hello, fellow purse lovers. I’m hoping there is someone amongst our ranks that can help me. I purchased a vintage Dooney off of PM. The price was low. It’s missing the strap, it’s in desperate need of cleaning and a little tlc. So, that in its self didn’t raise any red flags. I, of course, studied the photos before deciding to buy. I’m no expert, but I didn’t see anything that screamed fake. It arrived today. There are 7 double stitches on the logo patch that I didn’t notice before. They have me a little worried. I’m also unsure if the dash between all and weather, on the exterior pocket located under the flap, is supposed to be slanted. Also… the interior pocket feels weird. It doesn’t feel like the all-weather leather on the exterior. One more thing, the interior leather looks stringing in places. I didn’t know if this is typical wear for a bag of this age. Before I release the payment I wanted to see if anyone could help subdue my worries.
Any and all input is welcomed and very much appreciated. ❤️
I included a lot of pix. If anything else is needed I’m happy to comply.
PS… I believe the dark spots on the fob are dirt or some kind of grossness, not tarnish or chipping.
Thanks!!🙂

Found this sweet little bag and picked it up for just a few dollars. Even if it’s authentic, I don’t think it is anything super special, but I really like it. I added the Bee brooch in a non-lethal manner lol. Is it authentic, or did I just find a cute bag?

Can someone advise if these two purses are authentic? I purchased but now I’m noticing after cleaning they don’t really smell like leather. I’m new to this and was just trying to get a good deal on some quality purses.
Thanks in advance,

Purchased what I thought was an authentic Dooney but after receiving and examining it, I think it may be fake. The lining is vinyl, shouldn’t it be fabric?
