It's authentic although the seller should show a picture of the inside. From the pictures, I can't tell if it's one of the new remakes or if someone happened to have an older version still in the package. Based on the packaging and tag, I believe it's the new version.

Thanks! Was considering purchase, but someone beat me to it.
 
Seller belladonnasattic

It's fake.

I sense that the seller belladonnasattic knows it's fake and that's why she doesn't show full pictures of the inside or pictures of the whole red, white and blue tag (both sides).

It's interesting (and sneaky?) that the seller knows not to show what would definitely prove authenticity.

If Etsy has a way to report, please do so because belladonnasattic knows what she's peddling.

ETA: A comparison of the seller's OWN listings shows the difference in the front of the red, white and blue tag.

This is the one where she doesn't show the full tag. Compare the font, spacing and fabric to the authentic picture below the fake:

Thankx, @BB. I *will* report. The numbers on the back of the fake tag didn't look typical, either. And there were just numbers, no letters before the numbers. And did you notice (bet you did) the fancy red border on the fake tag while the real tag is a solid red border...

They had one of these on PM but it has since disappeared.

UPDATE: I reported the listing to Etsy. Etsy has been in some trouble over just this kind of thing, so they might listen. To report a listing just scroll down the listing and there will be a link on the right towards the bottom.

Hey gal, check out the "Doach" on the new thread by @Been Burned.


@BB, good morning. Would you please authenticate (or not) this potential purchase/saddle bag? I would love a Dooney saddle bag but the bright yellow thread does not seem right. I do not know enough about the saddle bags...except the ones under my eyes!

Thank you kindly.

Item: Dooney and Bourke Red Leather Purse Handbag with Coin Purse
Listing #:111701705615
Seller: sewing*horses
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/111701705615?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Comment: Coin purse seems genuine but I have my doubts about the satchel. Thanks in advance!
The coin purse is authentic.

Without more pictures of the bag, particularly, the inside showing pockets, I don't advise bidding on it.

If you can get the seller to post more pictures or to send them to you, please come back.
