Purchased what I thought was an authentic Dooney but after receiving and examining it, I think it may be fake. The lining is vinyl, shouldn’t it be fabric?

Item Name - Rebecca Hobo
Hi, I had a bag just like this a few years ago. The exterior is actually coated cotton (very durable and lightweight), and the interior was a shiny red plastic finish - just like this one. I’m not a Dooney authenticator but I think it’s genuine based on my experience. It’s hard to find coated cotton bags in solid colors like this that are in good condition. Dooney mainly uses coated cotton for their prints nowadays so I think you have a nice find. Hope this helps!
 

Hey @BeenBurned , I know you are busy as heck - but did you have an opinion on this one from a few pages back? Lady I bought it from swore it was legit, but I couldn't find an exact replica anywhere online. Appreciate your help over the years! Thank you :)
