What's your take on this...Do they really cut the inside tags off of Outlet stores?And does that make the bag worthless...The outside tag wasn't touched...

You are looking at a slightly used Dooney & Bourke Medium Banana Bag that is dark brown in color. I love this bag but it was too small for me. I purchased this bag from another Ebay seller. The bag looks new but the inside tag has been cut so it was probably from an outlet store (cut tag is in the inside zip pocket). The outside of the bag has four pockets and the inside has a zipped pocket , cell phone pocket, and inside key hook. Bag # is DS452 BM. The measurements are 11 x 3 x 5 with a strap drop length of 9.25. I only accept payment from PayPal. I usually ship 2 or 3 days after payment is received. Sorry but I only ship to the U.S.

The inside tags aren't cut out, but cut down the middle. Outlets do this to irregular and unregisterable bags.

this looks totally fake to me...i saw a fake it bag once and this looks VERY similar...the leather looks fake and the DB colors are a little off. Plus, i dont think DB ever made an it line without the rainbow zipper.

My zipper on my dooney purse kept getting stuck and it finally broke I got online and since i registered it this guy on the phone told me I need to mail the purse in with my address and what was wrong with the purse and the process is suppose to take like 7 to 10 days to ship then they get your bag they figure out a list of options for you and blah blah blah. Well the guy told me if your purse is unfixable then they will give you 75% of what you paid for it. I was really worried when I sent mine off but like three weeks later they sent me a brand new bag to replace my broken one! Can you say customer service!!

Hi..not sure if someone posted this..but I found it interesting to put it on the authentication board.....they sell the disc for 10 bucks....but just looking at the listing gave me some great tips...on authenticating Dooney's...even the song helped...made me laugh....I'm not by any means advertising the cd-rom..I am just letting you know this is a great listing to look at and get some knowledge.....http://cgi.ebay.com/Dooney-Bourke-Mo...QQcmdZViewItem

The outlets make a cut on alot of the tags. I have a ton of bags from the outlets - I'll post some pics of the tags for you, from my items. Thrift stores are usually the ones that will cut/rip off most of the tag.

Wow, thanks for the auction! I saved the page to study later. I have the AWL and some other leather bags down but know little about the coated canvas and fabric bags.

Also - can anyone read what it says on this bag here that looks like the one I asked about?



All I get when I try to read it is:
Real Brass Nubs Selch Our
Fakes are Rat across the fabric.
(But I don't think that makes sense )

Or - Real Brass nobs stick out
fakes are flat across the fabric ???
