Hi,
I was wondering if someone could tell me why this bag is not authentic? The seller says it's not, but I wouldn't know it by looking at the pictures... is there anything that stands out that you can see?
Item: DOONEY & BOURKE GIRAFFE SAFARI BAG
Link: http://richmond.craigslist.org/clo/2994750086.html

Thanks for any help!
It's fake.

Dooney doesn't EVER use signature lining.
 
I have a good collection I buy and sell first the leather for vintage its called "all leather weather" second brass only brass logos with duck on it varies in color depending on the type of bag you are interested in. The materials range from Canvas, Coated canvas, leather, Patent leather, the new Nylon Be careful there are a lot of fakes out there. Also the all familiar tag it will read DOONEY AND BOURKE MADE IN AMERICA the tag is located in the bag some near the flabs. The vintage DB never say made in China!! today they say Made in China. Think brass leather name tag and qualiyt YOu will have an authentic DB that last and last
 
Regarding the lining DB is going with this pink cotton like lining for much of the newer bag lilk the Dillen I or II I am not so impressed with the new line its quite not the same cute but some of the quality is fading away.

This isn't necessarily true. "Good" fakes do exist.

If a potential buyer is unsure of authenticity, she should post to get verification that an item is the real deal.
