It does not have a red/white/blue dooney tag on the inside but the lady I spoke with at dooney said that that didn't mean it wasn't authentic, here are some pictures, let me know what you think! http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...and%20bourke//

Even if you didn't spend a lot of money, it's illegal to sell fakes, they should have authenticated it before selling and the implications of the counterfeit industry are such that you wouldn't want to support or use fakes. As for the red, white and blue tag not being in some Dooneys, as far as I know, all bags within the past over 10 years have had tags, with the possible exception of some Italian-made Dooneys. The original all-weather leather Dooneys didn't have tags until the mid-80's, so an old one might not have a tag yet still be authentic, but that isn't the case with your item.

Lzamare,

You may have seen a bag with a similar exterior patterned fabric at a Dooney outlet. But you would never have seen a bag exactly like that because the style is not correct. Nor would you ever have seen a bag with that lining at the outlet. Dooney never uses any lining with a DB pattern. Never, ever!

I concur. The bag is fake.

I'm veryyyy interested in buying this Dooney off eBay, but when I got the pictures of the inside of the bag I wasn't sure if it was real or not, because I've never seen an inside of a Dooney that looked like this [only fake ones have]

So can you help me?

That bag is authentic.

Fakes have signature lining. This bag has pockets that are signature jacquard. It's DB cloth lining that you want to watch out for.

Okay, Thanks so much. I found an awesome deal on it on eBay and I can't pass it up. Plus I miss carrying DB's around :)

I think that is fake and I think that is what the people at Dooney will tell you also.

Freudian slip?

I definitely don't need this authenticated, but I just found this on eBay and reported it. It's not an authenticate D&B!!!!

Eww! Very fake, reported.

[Jeannam2008]

Definitely have. I also found another one with the same metal hardware and colors. Reported that one too. So sad there's fake Dooney's out there :/

I got this bag as a gift. Can anyone tell me what collection/pattern this is? I think I saw it a few years ago and I haven't had any luck finding it online. Then again, it might be fake. Any help will be appreciated!!

Looks real to me. The bag is a barrel satchel from the IT Tapestry collection. They were sold in 2005-2006.

It's authentic. Nevadagirl is correct as to the collection and the "barrel bag" name.
