That is wonderful. Thank you so much, Ms.Boxermom!
By the way, do you know the age of this bag and roughly the price when it was new? Sorry. This is my first BV. I don't have any idea about BV. All I know they have great quality and very pricy.
Again. Thank yo so so much.

I would estimate that the bag is from the late 1990's to 2001 at the latest. I don't really know what the retail prices were 10 years ago. I have bought new bags since 2005 and didn't buy any new BV's before then. I think we all wish there was some kind of good reference book for styles, color names, and original prices! I have no idea what my vintage bags originally sold for, but wish I did.

I think this wallet should have a tag, but sometimes (especially in wallets or other small leather goods) people cut them off. A photo of the stamp would be really helpful. I remember this style from the mid-2000's and my guess is it wouldn't be worth it for the fakers to copy it, but you never know. I don't see any warning signs, so that part is good so far.

It is good to know this bag is about 10 years old. Thank you, Ms. Boxermom.

Hi Wonderful Experts --
Item: BV Zip-around Wallet
Item No.: 180670540663
Seller: goober03_123
Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180670540663&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
Seller (Zero Feedback..) says there is a stamp but no tag .. I've asked for photo of stamp and will add that when it arrives. Do some wallets have stamp and no tag? How does it look so far?

I also like to see the authenticity tag. The nameprint/stamp looks good to me.

I already asked for more pictures, but maybe you can tell anything so far already.

Item: Campana (small?)

as you already know, neither listing contains the right pictures or details. i personally would skip these auctions although you can always request a review when you get the proper pix. in the future, we always appreciate when you get pix prior to asking. thanks!

I agree with doloresmia that neither seller included the important photos we need. The second bag, however, looks *off* to me. In my opinion it's probably not authentic.
