I suspect this is fake but would like to verify it here:

Thank you!
This listing from seller houseofgarringer is fake.

The seller seems to mix authentic and fake as there are some genuine listings.

But she also sold this fake Dooney:

And someone paid $555 for a fake LV:

I wonder about the Gucci and Fendi items.

Man, it sure seems pretty hard to get a red legit vintage d&b, unless I am wrong about this one...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=261020899092&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123

-feels hard and plasticy
-red inside pockets, never seen that
-red leather or pleather interior at bottom
-cheap rivets
-zipper marked 'three star'.

As always, your advice is greatly appreciated!

I am new to the purse forum. I tried to read the thread to educate myself about DB purses. I am looking at one on ebay and considering bidding it. Would someone kindly help me authenticate it? I tried my best to follow this thread's rules but there are sth that I don't know what it is...

Item: VINTAGE DOONEY & BOURKE AWL LEATHER HANDBAG CROSSBODY WALLET BLACK
Listing number: I don't know where to find this. :sad: sorry
Seller: misswinkerman
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/30071207041...AX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2648#ht_500wt_1086
Comments: the seller said the serial # is A4 796836
Authentic.
The bag and fob are absolutely authentic. The fob is the original style, with DB rather than the later version with the duck.

Note though that a fob (or other removable accessory/attachment) can't be used to authenticate the bag it's on. Fobs can be lost, removed or replaced. Also, fake fobs can be hanging from authentic bags or authentic fobs might be attached to a fake.

Again, if you are the winner, you got your gorgeous Dooney red bag. Enjoy!
 
I used to post here about dealing with my horrible adult acne scars and your kind support really helped me. I plan on updating on that ordeal in the appropriate forum later.

I found these in a thrift store and I have been combing the internet for info. I really just want to know if they are authentic and what year they were made. I think they are men's shoes? Are they fake-o vintage?

I'm so sorry they aren't a handbag but, I just KNEW you all would be the ones to ask.

Many thanks in advance, and thanks much for all the help you gave me ages ago, concerning my skin.

(The tongue reads the size, the sole reads the DB logo ITALY, the bottom of the shoes read Vibram and Morflex)

Really appreciate it. Thank you!
Yes, it would be an equestrian bag. It looks okay so far, but a picture of the inside would confirm.

I believe that the shoes are authentic.
 
Thanks BeenBurned! When do you think they might have been made? It seems so bizarre that I can't find a single thing on them, no completed listings-- no google images-- NOTHING.

Phantom shoes.
I don't think they sold a lot of shoes. I got the impression they just couldn't get them to catch on.

In fact, I had some boat shoe Dooneys (brand new) and couldn't sell them; there was NADA interest. I ended up practically giving them away for around $20.

Thanks a lot BB. I will ask the seller for pictures of the inside and hopefully post them up here soon.
You're welcome.
 
Hi BB,

I hope you will be able to help me with this one again. It's the same listing as before and the seller has kindly added more pictures of the inside.

(Your link didn't work. I fixed it.)

The bag is an authentic equestrian bag.
 
The bag is definitely 100% genuine Dooney! Nice find.

Ok I think I have a problem... I listed this on Ebay. The buyer was a new ebay member and the second she got the purse she gave me a neg feed back and filed a complaint with Ebay and Paypal stating this is a fraud.

What do I do.. I gave Paypal all the listing information from where I won this (on LISTIA) and the information where I had this checked here.

Why would they do this with out contacting me. Do you think they know it is real and just trying to get it free since I am a new seller on ebay?

Any Ideals on how to defend myself or what I should do.
