If you don't know and can't verify authenticity that it's made by Fendi, you can't list it and leave out the brand name. It has Fendi markings and their logo so it must be authentic in order to list.
Summer is slower as people are on vacation so you might have to wait to see if someone chimes in but if not, there are professional authentication services (about $7.50) and you can get your answer.

I'd take it out of the goodwill box.
Donating a fake continues the cycle, allowing that fake to be resold. It'll fool consumers who will think they're getting either the real thing and paying big bucks for it or thinking they're getting a deal. And when buyers think they got a steal, that buyer will often list that item on ebay or another site and further fool more buyers.
As much as I support saving the environment, I'd mark that thing up with "FAKE FAKE" and dispose of it.
