yes that bag is real.:tup: it is often called the "double buckle" line of bags - because there are always two. AKA the "belt buckle duffle" which is what i think dooney calls them. i have only been able to find them at maxx.
 
Bag-Princess, thank you soooo much. I wanted to sell the bag but was afraid it was a fake. I found it at TJ Maxx like you thought!

We are short the money we need to go get our daughter from Kyrgyzstan in October so I am selling like a mad woman to try to come up with the rest of the money.

I really appreciate the help!
 
Hello!

I don't know much about Dooney & Bourke, but I've done some research online. So far I haven't found any similar looking D&B bags. I've asked the seller if there is a blue and red tag inside, or even a green tag.. so we'll see what she says. I do know that the inside is black suede If anyone can tell from these photos if this bag is the real deal I would appreciate it!

Thanks so much for your help

Well..actually, I know that the bag I just posted is a fake... it doesn't have the zipper covers on the inside pocket... but does anyone know if Dooney ever made this bag? It looks likeits from the Gladstone line

Fake... the leather is too shiney, and the duck patch is crooked. the feet look strange as well... do not buy this bag

I can't say I've ever seen one like this. The size seems all wrong. 17x15x9 I can't say that I've seen this shape in this size. I like the color. Here is a guide to buying gladstones on ebay

I am not an expert, but I think it's real. There are some telltale signs usually, and I am not seeing any in this one. But, again, I'm not an expert. I do own a few of them myself, though.

Plus, the seller has over a 99% positive feedback rating. I think you're safe. Nice bag! :tup:
 
I just received this and think it's a fake. The inside is lined with a red PVC type lining and I believe that it should just be the canvas fabric and no lining. Also, there is a black tag sewn into the seam (folded in half) that says made in china.

I have many DB bags, no wristlets though. Can someone let me know what else to look for to determine that it is in fact a fake? I sent an email to the seller, but I'm highly ticked right now as I can't stand fakes grrrrr

Thanks, Mags
