See post #4543. Same bag--it looks great but there is no photo of the font and we always need to see that. Request that the seller provide one.

Oops, this request slipped by me--so sorry.

This is the large, though the measurements aren't quite what I would give it. It's one of those bags that is hard to measure accurately. The color is Moutarde (mustard) from Resort 2007/2008 collection. It's authentic.

Hi,

I bought this bag but when I received it the serial code is different.

In the ads it ends with 3969 A but mine is 4426 A.

The actual colour is also a little bit more 'muted' not as bright as in the picture.

Everything else look ok.

Is this cause for concern ?

Thanks !!!

Hi, dancingirl.

I just checked the Malleries website and it seems like you might have received/bought this one?
Bottega Veneta Tangerine Intrecciato Hobo Bag Nwt $2k
The certificate pic is rather small but I think it says 4426 A.

Also, the bag on your link says it's at auction. Did you win the auction?

The bag looks genuine to me. I don't know what those last numbers/letter in the second line on the white tag stand for, so I can't explain why yours would be different or if it's a cause for concern. Did you ask this seller about the difference that you noticed?

Maybe they had more than one in this color, but took only one set of photos? Not an excuse--you should get the bag they photographed.

Just a little heads-up for the authenticity thread. Our son's family (that means grandchildren:-)) is visiting this weekend, so beginning tomorrow (Friday) afternoon till sometime late Monday, I may not have time to check this thread.

doloresmia, kroquet, jburgh, and others are good about monitoring the thread. Baggiana, we hope to see you more often very soon! Anyone else who feels they have a good grasp of authentic BV details, please check in and if you can answer some questions, that would be great!

Yes that was what the seller told me.

Other than that everything else look the same.

What should I do though ?

I'm confused too. Reading the information on their listing, they say the price is $1500+, but it also says the bag in the photos is "at auction". Did you win by bidding or did they charge you a straight price with no auction? Did they charge you more than the printed info on their site stated?

doloresmia · Nov 5th, 2009, 10:53 PM

boxermom - have fun with the grandchildren!!! we will try to fill in.
