Finding out that we have been tricked into purchasing a fake handbag always comes as a shock. This type of discovery can really ruin your day so you want to avoid it completely. Here are a few tips for how you can avoid buying a fake Dooney and Bourke handbag. This type of respected brand is always at risk from imitators, but thankfully it is usually easy to spot the fakes if you know what to look for.

- There should be a logo tag near the front of the bag with the Dooney and Bourke name. This should be stitched using similar stitching to what is used elsewhere on the handbag for the trim.

- All Dooney and Bourke designer handbags come with a unique British tan leather trim. If the trim on the bag you are looking at doesn’t seem to be real leather or it isn’t tan then you are more than likely dealing with an imposter - the best advice would be to look elsewhere for a handbag.

- There should be a registration number stitched inside the bag. This should be easy to read and unique to that bag. If you check a couple of bags in the shop and they have the same registration number you know they are fake handbags for sure.

- Dooney and Bourke only ever use the finest hardware with their bags so if what you are looking at seems a bit cheap then it unlikely to be the real thing. Most designer handbags of this brand has brass hardware – although not always.

- If the price of the bag seems to be too much of a bargain you will want to be careful. Deals that sound too good to be true usually are just that.
