Is it real?

A few weeks ago I stopped by a tag sale. There was a table full of old costume jewelry, lace handkerchiefs, and bags. The proprietor informed that everything there was a dollar. Cue the kid in the candy store.

I left with two necklaces, a bracelet and this Dooney and Burke tote bag. (Such self control!) I don't know much about Dooney and Burke. I don't know how to spot a fake or even what the classic designs are. Is it real? I don't know, but it was only a dollar. If it's fake, I'd prefer not to know anyway.

  1. I love classic Dooney & Burke almost as much as I love classic Coach, although both are relatively hard to come by in Vancouver so I don't know much about the differences between real and fake. Either way, it looks as though this bag had a wonderful life before it came your way and I know you're going to give it a very happy home with lots of new adventures. I love the first outfit you've styled with it, that dress just looks so comfortable and easy to wear, yet perfectly put together the second you add a belt. I'm on the hunt for my own perfect easy dress like it, but for the time being, I will be living vicariously through your closet ;)

  2. Love that dress! And woohoo for the $1 bag deal, even if it's fake you can't beat that price! I had a few DBs back in the day, but I don't think I would be able to tell either. But from what I can see it looks good, haha.

  3. Sounds like you got a steal of a deal...and I can't tell at all if it would be real or fake, it's just that subjective in this case (so, either way, for $1, you win!).
