**Authenticate This Dooney & Bourke item!**

[Sam+Coach=Love]

I have a bucket with a duck on it. I do believe the croc tote is real.

[SgtGumby]

anyone have any tell tale signs of a fake? particularly like the patent, awl/pebble, nubuck or large quilt styles?

[Kathyy]

Oh my. This set is so pretty! It isn't a flap satchel so I am going to resist. Maybe. Tell me it isn't real, somebody buy it, something!

^^That's a gorgeous set--hard to find that color combo! The british tan with that red is so pretty. And that bag holds a ton but still fits comfortably under your arm.

Sorry, I don't think that was what you were looking for! LOL.

ohhh man, i think it's real and if i were you i'd get it, the All Weather Leather just got discontinued.

unfortunately i can just show you my AWL and quilted to compare, but from what i know, linings have been varied, but there is one constant thing.


there is a tag on the insite that will say:

DOONEY &
BOURKE, INC.

with a red line around it in the shape of a rectangle.

the tags were white, but mine is more of a... manilla type color... off white.

thats as specific as i can get with you at this point. in person, a dooney and bourke is unmistakable because you can beat the everliving hell out of it and have it coming out lookin like a champ, leather or quilted! i'm trying to hone my skills on my own. when i find BLATENTLY fake dooneys i will start posting them, but then again i think you just started a new project... eek.




ETA: on the back of that tack is the bags ID number duhhh hehe

I know who the seller of this item is and can say with 110% certainty that they ONLY sell authentic merchandise. That bag is gorgeous.

The AWL red domed satchel is still there. I have "earned" loads of money selling stuff the past couple weeks. I will go out to do errands and hope somebody has bought it and then buy it if it is still there.

I love that Dooney has the tag. I have handled only one bag with a fake tag myself but have seen fakes on eBay with real tags. Especially with the lined bags it wouldn't be difficult for some creep to pick out a couple stitches and insert a real tag from a beat up AWL bag. I searched every nook and cranny of a signature sac at TJMaxx and couldn't find a tag so some bags don't have them.

yeh, like much, i can tell in person. but online is a little sketchy sometimes.

This bag was made especially for QVC. I have the same bag in black and british tan. If you go to QVC dot com you will be able to view it there. It's a nice bag but I find a little heavy.

i've never seen it in person, but, the buttons that clasp the purses pockets aren't the same as in the pic. Ask for close ups and post um here :)

[ViciousBliss]

That looks real to me^^

I have that one on my watch list too, LOL!! I have seen this one with red/white trim instead of pink, at my TJMaxx lately. I think it was selling for $129 there. Think it's called the "double pocket sac".
