Authenticate This Bottega Veneta #3 - use proper format shown in post #1

[Miss_FancyBags]

Hi ladies, I purchased this from an upscale consignment store. The owner says it is authentic. The leather is very soft, stitiching looks good and zipper markings look right. But of course I need the expert advice. Can you please tell me if this looks good to you, please. Also any idea the actual style name/color? Thank you so much!

Hi, it looks like an authentic vintage BV in deerskin. Sorry, I don't know the color name - my chart doesn't go back that many years

Hi, this looks like an authentic partially woven veneta.

Note that the retail is overstated. This is an older veneta (though not vintage) and retails for much less than the fully woven venetas.

I think Knots can be hard to authenticate, but I don't see anything wrong with this one. Interesting style!

Thank you boxermom. It's different, but still cute.

Looks authentic to me. It's prior to 2005, I believe, so sometime between 2002-2004.

Thanks sweets...they are telling me it is only 2 years old, but I was pretty sure it was older than that.

Yes, certainly - I agree with Boxermom I had bought this veneta variation in the noce-like color years ago (when the retail of the medium veneta was $1260). This one in large is beautiful, though!

I sent the seller a message that it was more like 7-9 years old, not 2 like the claimed, but I agree it is a pretty bag. They won't go down much on their price though.
