You ladies are absolute dears. i'm still recovering from the experience i suffered. i know this lady wants to sell the bag, but she should ,and i have told her why- i would appreciate the clearer pics. I also asked her not to take this personally. I missed another bag, but that seller actually directed me to a site to authenticate. Neiman's outlets "last call" sell too, but it's a hike. I had no idea the amount of replicas. I can't believe it, and basically the seller said the authentcitity tag wouldnt do me any good because the fraudulent tags are so good now, you can't tell. That was last email.
and I have not made a pia of myself. She knows I am not wasting her time, but she thinks she's getting alot of other inquiries, and noone is serious in buying. That was the first conversation I had with her. I just dont know. Have to think. Again, I was so lucky Paypal refunded my money, I'm just trying to do my due diligence thanks to you lovely dolls, and money isnt easy to come by, esp today's economy, and if the shoe were on the other foot, and I have sold some items, all of which I bought mostly at Bergdorf or Neiman's, I welcome questions even on low ticket items. I want people to feel comfortable about buying. Unfortunately, these fakers hurt legitimate people including myself. Ebay now has limits on how many top designers newer sellers can put on.
But when I do sell something, it's to only update my own closet.

i want to tell you again how lovely and what an absolutely wonderful group of woman you are, to help navigate these waters. I've been so naive. Just don't want to repeat same mistake.

Please, continue what you do. You are gifts. People can sleep at night. I had a terrible few weeks with my bad experience.

Thanks again all.

Bubula, I know how anxious you are... I was once in your shoes.

The pictures that are given suggest that the bag is authentic - but just as a matter of course I want to see all the markers before I give a thumbs up... reason? I do not want to hear that something that I have said is authentic turns out to be otherwise.

On the other hand, I have bid on a couple that I believed were authentic but where the seller could not/would not provide the correct pictures - and it turned out fine... but I experienced a great deal of angst until I had the authentic bag in hand. I do not like that feeling. So now, my attitude is that if the seller wants to sell the bag he/she will send a pic or two. And if not, then I will pass.

We have all said that it looks good (and is cute!) - so that could make you feel more confident - but as I said, I have a list of pics that I personally want to see before I sign off and encourage you to spend your money. This is one that you will have to decide for yourself, but I am surprised that the seller is not more accommodating. Whatever you do decide you should never be in that position again.

What do you all think of this?

Item Name: Bottega Veneta Authentic Montaigne Bag in Baltic Blue
Seller name or ID: Strictly Pursonal
Working Link: http://www.strictlypursonal.com/583.html
Comments: The color looks much darker than most of the pictures of baltic blue posted elsewhere on TPF. Any concerns about that?

Thanks for your help!

I have seen some lighter Baltic Blue bag photos also, but my catalog shows the color consistent with this shade of blue for Baltic. All the details check out well, so I believe this is authentic.

Item Name: Bottega Veneta Ebano (brown) Woven Veneta
Listing number: 170535836927
Seller name: simonblue7
Working Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170535836927&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
Comments: Seller states bag is the large size, but tag shows item number for medium size. Thoughts!!
Click to expand...
You are correct... the tag says medium and the dimensions should roughly be 16"x10" - not what is listed. It is difficult to tell from the pictures, and the price that is quoted is for a large. I would say that you have no alternative to but to believe the tag... why don't you contact the seller and ask about the decrepancy?

Item Name: Bottega Veneta bag
Seller ID: micong 13

Comments: may i know what style is this and can i still get a brand new one from the BV boutiques?

I am not familiar with this specific style. In general, it's a hobo-style bag. If it's genuine BV, it's several years old and is no longer available at the stores. BV has a few different hobo style bags now that you might like. Check their website (www.bottegaveneta.com) for most of their current styles.
