No, the lining is a brown color (like the outside of the bag). No black or striped. Sounds like my first designer purse dissapointment (smile).

The lining is brown? Is it brown fabric or is it leather?
Here's a picture I found on ebay of what the lining of a Sonoma bag would look like:

No it doesn't look like that at all. It's a brown fabric lining. It matches the bag. The pocket flap that the creed is on is Leather.

Hmm... strange...
My guess is that its a fake... but I can't be sure without seeing pictures of it. Are you sure you have the style number right? Sorry... I just thought maybe if its an older bag and the creed is faded...

Your number belongs to this bag:

Is that the bag you have? (it can be a different color)

Yours looks fine to me... it came from an outlet. See the bullseye next to the creed?
