Unfortunately there is no boutique near me, i have emailed them for information but thought i would also try on here cause there seems to be quite a few people who have a lot of knowledge about briefcases

Probably fake but if you were patient you would have the definitive answer from the manufacturer rather than simply opinion from people here.

A good way to tell authenticity is to look at the small details.

The zipper looks really crude, so your item is likely fake

^ No.

The tag looks like crap. Look at the letters. And a tip off that something is fake is small pictures.

Never mind that it's hideous.

Looks like someone's tasteless holiday souvenir from Turkey or something. Could be the sort of thing that Versace would do. :fu:

^ Yeah. From the looks of the fittings and construction, my guess would be fake. Look at the stitching in the closeups. The stitches per inch look like crap for Dolce & Gabbana's top line. And that chest patch embroidery is pretty atrocious.
