Cadillactaste...that bag is a FAKE!!!!

Don't be embarassed...we all have to learn sometime.

BTW...it's a duck...because water rolls off their All Weather Leather bags like water off a duck's back:yes:


I appreciate your knowledge...Fake...I kind of wondered since they claimed new without tags and I hadn't seen a one on Ebay like it...

How can the people making Fakes use the duck leather patch on their product. I would think copywrite would keep that from happening. Is it because the patch has the name of Dooney and so it's not the exact same? I am off to search this site on vintage Dooneys...I find the older ones some are rather charming...(A friend of mine called and we discussed them and then started sending PM's of Dooney's back to each other...Which was quite fun!) She hadn't seen this one...And so I wanted to do the run down with you guys here...Much appreciated your advice...:tup:
 
Hello,

I am new here. I have had All Weather Leather Dooney's for years, but just recently purchased four handbags from one seller on eBay. One LV bag which is definitely a fraud which I found out so after the sale. My question for those of you more familiar with these newer bags..... Could you please look at these auctions and give me your opinion? PLEASE :-)

I had purchased the bags and spent like $437. with the Seller. She purchased the LV through eBay and says she purchased the Dooney's at an outlet. The pink Dooney has a white tag (small) that reads Made in China. I just have a very uneasy feeling...

Please help me !!!!
 
^^1st and 3rd and definitely authentic. Am not sure about the 2nd as I have never seen that design before. 1st and 3rd must have been purchased form the outlet because the bubble line went out of production a few months back.
 
This one is ending soon...My question is...Is it authentic? And...Is this a good price? I am noticing a few Vintage styles catchin' my eye...:drool:

And what style is this called?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=160153385170&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:PIC&ih=006

I have never seen this bag before! If you are really interested ask the seller for more information. Is there a fabric tag, what do the pockets look like, closeup of the hardware. I am doubting it is real considering the Coach listed that also looks like no Coach I have seen before.
 

I just bought my very own Square Heart bag this week! Aside from mine being the large flap satchel type this one looks fine - buckle, lining, tag, cell pocket all similiar.

I really have no idea on the hobo! The seller has authentic AWL wallets and bags so I personally would take the chance. Very cute in pink, that hobo!
 
Miss Kelly, that pink looks authentic--it is a QVC bag and I have the identical bag. Looks to be a little bit used but a great price, I paid over $200 on QVC for it. It is a great bag--huge!! The one you linked to definitely looks authentic to me.

n19drf, that pink hobo looks iffy to me, the round emblem looks different than any I've ever seen. I would hesitate to say it's a fake, but it just doesn't look totally right to me.

This is AWL2, looks like others I have seen. Round cute little purse in the middle. Other AWL2 on ebay look the same. I was trying to find AWL2 on wayback but having no luck today. But, as I wrote before I am no expert on AWL2 just that the seller has good AWL stuff.
