Hi - I'm loving the bags, but I am concerned that the wallet in this listing is not authentic. I wrote to the seller and asked if she would sell just the two bags since I don't think the wallet is good, but she says that it is authentic.
Can you give me your expert opinion, thanks much as always!

The wallet is fake.
And the listing is reportable since sellers aren't allowed to hide fakes within listings that may or may not include authentic items.


And a TRS should know better. I don't recommend 2gadgetgeeks.

If you're going to leave feedback (and I would for a fake Dooney wallet about which the seller is in denial), do it now because once the listing is removed, you won't be able to leave feedback.

Thanks!
I did not buy them because she/he would not sell just the handbags.
I had a strong feeling the wallet was not authentic.
Thanks. I will let them know and hopefully they will remove it
and relist without the crapola wallet!

It's authetnic.

Dooney does/did mix fabrics when making inside pockets. I suspect it might have been a way to use up excess fabric when the pieces aren't large enough for bags.

The exterior is signature and it's splash pattern on the back of the pocket.

Phew, thank you so much! And thanks for correcting me on splash v. Graffiti. Your fabric theory makes sense, just scary the first time you see it!
