Can Anyone Authenticate?

I listed a D&B bag for a friend of mine, and just got an e-mail from a very nice eBay member suggesting that I ask you guys (the experts) if you can authenticate the bag. She seemed to think that it was probably a knockoff. I suspect she may be right (my friend picked the bag up at a yard sale ... yeah, I know ... but she insists that it looks like "good leather" to her).

I don't want to hurt my friend's feelings, but I don't want to ruin my eBay reputation either. If you guys think this bag is a fake, I'll amend my listing to tell buyers that it's not authentic.

Thanks so much!

The bag you are selling is a replica. Problem here is that you can not use Dooney & Bourke name in the title and then to mention that its a knockoff in the description.

For the future, to authenticate designer handbags, there's also Shoes and Purses discussion board forum, link:

Thanks everyone. Looks like eBay removed the listing, but thank you for taking a look and offering your help.
