I have not seen this DB style but on the otherhand I have not been a huge fan of DB until lately when I got interested in the AWL vintage. I hope this gets the seal of authenticity.

Thanks! So do I!!! I have seen other bags this Style, just never this print... And I can't find it by the # :sad:
 
Lovely DB and for that price, I envy you big time! With my first DB purchased from ebay from a TOP SELLER happens to be a beautiful fake. I paid $44.

Wow, $44 for a fake! Can you get your money back?

Thanks, I couldn't resist that bag for $5 and it is in pretty good shape. The only problem is that it has yellowed. I know that it is not possible to restore yellowed bags to their original appearance, but I was wondering if anyone has suggestions for making it a little bit brighter, here are the pics, thanks!

It's a travesty. When I emailed her to return the bag she said they have no return policy and that I have "buyers remorse." She said that I should have read the tem description carefully. I've read it several times none which stated "replica", "copy" or look alike. Description was phrased deceptively. Can I complain to ebay do you know?

It is an illegal copyright violation to sell fake bags and replicas. Yes, I think you should file a dispute with ebay or paypal. You might check out the TPF ebay thread for more information. Good luck!
