Is this real
There's a different subforum for Dooney:
Authenticate This DOONEY & BOURKE

Please repost on the Dooney authentication thread with more pictures. Those you've shown here aren't enough. I'm not feeling good about it but don't want to issue a verdict without seeing more pictures.

INCLUDE LINK TO LISTINGS or SOURCE OF ITEMS

Please show the following:
  • full front, preferably stuffed to show what the style looks like
  • full picture showing the open bag, interior, lining, pockets
  • bottom of the bag showing feet if there are feet
  • Made in tag if present
  • Both front and back of red, white and blue label with serial number

The bag is authentic. It's a Soho hobo (I believe small) made in 2003.


What did the removal notice say?

I found a cached copy of the listing and with 15 pictures and a description that is accurate, I can't imagine why it would have raised red flags. But do NOT relist that bag unless you get a green light in writing from ebay.


ETA: Here's Coach's pictures and description of the larger version of the same bag. Yours is the small hobo 9541; this is the large hobo 9542:

ETA #2:
I was able to find the identical bag in the Coach Wayback machine:

Thank you for finding these pictures! I've never gotten a ding for a counterfeit before because I've always been so careful about authenticity.

Is there anything I can do to appeal with eBay?

The notice references limited selling history under the counterfeit policy. I got the notice right after I sent an offer to buyers that had it on their watchlist. I've screenshot the notice:

It's authentic but not a Beekman, due to the closure. I don't know what it was called.

Thank you.

It was called a Morgan Briefcase, style 5267, introduced in the 1991 50th Anniversary catalog. Here's the description from the 1992 Holiday Preview book:

I'm so sorry this happened. It's bad enough that they don't remove actual obvious fakes, but to do this with an authentic item is painful. And the non-compliance ding on your account adds to the hurt.

It's hard to tell if they removed the listing because someone actually reported and they looked at your limited selling history or if it's just the history (or lack thereof) that caused the removal, but sheesh! It shouldn't have happened.

With the holiday tomorrow and this being a weekend, I'm not sure how many people are available. See if anything happens within the next few days.
