Those pictures seem like the seller purposely used blurry photos and they give me a headache! I'm not comfortable enough to report it as fake but I'm also not comfortable enough to recommend buying or bidding.

There are too many details that don't look right but without better pictures, I recommend hitting the back button!

What information are you looking for? For a week, you've posted this same request. This is the 4th time and it's been answered twice following the first two requests.

You posted on April 27, 5:07 am: Odd & unusual Dooney-Bourke-canvas-tote-handbag?
And the other 4 minutes later: Second one I found... is shown here in olive ...

The probable reason there were no replies to your posts above is that it's likely no one can offer more information.

Then you posted here:
April 28 at 10:05am: Item number:381216084784...
I responded a few minutes later as 10:26am: http://forum.purseblog.com/dooney-a...e-please-use-the-118342-360.html#post28466774

Then you asked the same question again:
May 1 at 4:34 am: Odd Canvas Box D&B Looking for any knowledge...
Again, I responded a few hours later in post #5421: http://forum.purseblog.com/dooney-a...e-please-use-the-118342-362.html#post28482885

And today May 3, you've asked again. You haven't responded, commented or thanked for previous requests nor have you elaborated on why you keep reposting.

I did notice the feet on the bottom are to big, they don't fit within the stitching, and they are crooked.

I have quite a few Dooney & Bourke's from the 80s. Are people still interested in them? I haven't seen much of a resale market for them.
