This looks really strange to me. Is this authentic?
I've NEVER seen the stripe color look so far off. And look at the last pic on the right, the one that shows the inside - even with NO flash hitting it AND a dark brown dustbag underneath it so there's no possibility of anything reflecting on it, that stripe still looks waaaaaaay too pale. And something else doesn't look quite right either.
I personally wouldn't bid on it.

3. The stitching on the creed is very poor. The lower stitching is doubled and uneven.
Is it a fake. Am I right?
VERY fake - is this an auction listing, and can you post the link?
And yes, please read the Answers thread - there's NO rule about how many digits are in a serial number. In fact, I've said before that there should be at least 7 digits in the serial number and I've found several exceptions to that "rule" too.

The photos aren't clear enough to say for sure, but I'm leaning toward genuine.
There are fake receipts for sale all over the internet. A receipt is just a piece of paper with printing on it - how hard can that be to fake?

In afterthought I completely agree with you. I just know that when I take personal pictures of some of my bags, there is a glare from that kind of fabric. However, the description says "light blue" and I would never consider the stripe to be light blue. I am not by no means an expert so I shall always leave the final call to you lovely ladies!!
I'd say genuine, I bought one at the outlet over a year ago. The crooks never seem to get the flowers right, but seeling the creed would help.
I was wondering if this Lucky Keyfob was authentic or not? There seem to be so many of them on eBay, so I am kind of hesitant to bid on one. TIA

Those 2 listings looks fine.
I haven't seen many (if any) fake ponytail scarves because they're fairly inexpensive for authentic. It probably isn't worth the counterfeiters' time to make fakes.
There's an "authenticate this Dooney" forum:
http://forum.purseblog.com/authenti...y-and-bourke-item-118342-49.html#post11150645
Or you can post on the purses, shoes and accessories board. If you post there, use "Dooney" in the title so those who know Dooney will respond.

Hello everyone. Thanks for the help you've been putting here. I am trying to read around to check if I can tell a fake from a legit.. can you help me with this? I think the first 2 pictures are from the website though, but does the lining look good? I am trying to ask the seller to post more images though.

The original receipt doesn't prove much.
1. Seller might have purchased an authentic item and uses that receipt to sell fakes and "prove" authenticity.
2. Seller might have purchased an authentic item and uses that receipt for the authentic item.
3. Seller might have purchased a template from Eye-sore and makes her own "original receipts."
These are reasons that Ebay no longer accepts receipts as proof of authenticity.
