Hi! Brand new to the purseforum experience. I am trying to determine if there is a way to verify if a Dooney & Bourke purse that is for sale on eBay is authentic. Do I submit the listing/item# here? Like I said newbie! Please help and basically assume I know nothing:)

Hello and welcome!

Yes, post the link here. Copy and paste the URL.
 
Grrr..must be doing something wrong! It keeps coming out too long & doesn't work. The item # from *bay is: 330341047308. If anyone has the time, I greatly appreciate it!! Thanks so much!
 
I have never bought a designer purse, but got the itch for a D&B. I bought one on Ebay and don't know if it is fake. It is a croco purse...looks like a hobo. Tge name plate is metal (a silver color). It says Dooney Bourke and has the duck underneath. The purse is brown and has brown stitching (I read somewhere that all D&B were stitched in tan). It has the tag on the inside with the Dooney & Bourke, Inc and a serial number on the back. The stitching is blue with the red border, but the tag is an off-white color. There is no logo on the inside of the purse. The quality of the leather seems to be top notch, so even if it is fake it might be worth what I paid. It also has the matching wallet and I am fairly confident that it is real but just don't know about the purse.

Unfortunately, it's really not possible to authenticate without either pictures of the item(s) or at least the item number so we can see the pictures in the listing. If it was purchased from ebay, post the link to the listing. Or you can post pictures either from your computer or photobucket.
