=================


from your photo's it does indeed look like an authentic dooney from the leather charms collection. last year marshall's and maxx had quite a few! and they all had the rainbow teeth feature on the zippers.
 
Sophiegray, can you ask if there are codes under the red white and blue tags if they have them? They look good to me, but I want to be doubly sure!

And Design4, bagprincess is right, that is an authentic bag from the Charms Collection. The Rainbow Zipper is the same used in the IT lines..
 
I bought this bag at a very good price but I don't have a good feeling about it.Thanks.

From what I can see of the pics...fake. Looks to plastic like and on one of them you can see the "pleather" cracked.
 
Today I went to TJ Maxx and I bought this Dooney Bourke bag. It looks authentic but then again I'm no dooney expert. Please help me determine it's authenticity. according to the tag it's a DB North/South Buckle Shopper. Retail price $250.00 (sale price $89.00). It was marked down because it is missing the shoulder strap. Please help be determine its authenticity:shrugs:
