Price is higher than retail ($280USD), but mighty pretty! Also super nice touch with the matching nail polish. Hawaii stores were the only BV boutiques in US to get these, I wonder if there are any left? This picture really makes me drool.

Look at the price of the medium veneta in 2004! Also, the lining is in textile and not suede, but it is nice to see what happens to the leather over 4 years!

The code and non suede lining are not familiar to me, although FF is reputable. I am going to post this in the authenticate forum too just to double check.

You can see the discussion on the authenticity thread, but I also wanted to let anyone interested in the bag know it is not for sale until FF has it looked at by their authenticators.

Looks like a medium Campana in either ebano or moro (I'm not familiar with the colors of the Campana).

For some reason, I think python is illegal in California. I think other snake skins are allowed, though.

Also, Saks, Tyson's Galleria, VA had a huge (I mean really huge) black BV tote on the sale table for about $1200. It was not woven, but quilted (seem kinda padded/cushiony, too).

Yes python is banned in CA, but not anaconda... and the bag is no longer available on line.
