Item Name:AUTHENTIC BOTTEGA VENETA BASKET WEAVE CALFSKIN LEATHER
Item Number:260545900449
Seller ID:guccilova617

As doloresmia said, we always want to see certain photos, depending on the age of the bag. On all the newer bags, that includes the font, both sides of the white authenticity tag, and if possible the stamped back of the zipper pull.

The older vintage bags with the metal font plate don't all have authenticity tags, and depending on photos provided, we may ask for additional photos.
 
LoveThatThing- Regarding your metallic Cabat: Uh-Oh-looks like a knock off to me. Sorry to say, but that is my very strong opinion.
If this bag proves to me a fake Cabat you can dispute it with Paypal and they will reimburse your money. It takes about 10 days once you open the dispute, mail it back to the seller and get refunded for the original purchase price. You will have to pay for the return shipping, however. Just wanted you to know you are protected if you used Paypal so don't worry. Let me know if you need me to walk you through the steps.

Boxermom, blueiris I too have too many questions on this bag, I don't think I can sleep on it. So I'm sending back the bag, the seller is responding well and is taking the bag back. Thanks again for your help and input ^^^^!!

The tag shows when the bag was made, 2007. This style is from the Dune collection in Resort 2007. If I found the same one in the old catalog, it was $470 and the color is called Pergamena. authentic.
 
Hi ladies!

I was hoping that y'all could authenticate this bag for me, as well as offer me some advice as to what kind of cap you'd put on the price for a used bag in this condition.

Thanks in advance!

Item Name: Authentic BOTTEGA VENETA Black Woven Leather Bag Purse
Listing number: 330400763352
Seller name or ID: finalfight310
Working Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/Authentic-BOTTE...WH_Handbags?hash=item4ced6b8dd8#ht_500wt_1138

I believe it's authentic. Having said that, considering the age, condition of the zippers, what looks like stains on the handle, I think bidding has already reached top dollar for this bag. In addition, seller's feedback isn't very good; the neutrals and negatives have to do with poor communication and follow-up with customers. One of my criticisms of the listing is that the condition isn't fully described; it just says "good condition". From the photos, there are details that should be explained.

Price is always an individual viewpoint. I'm just saying from my experience and what I've seen on eBay, this bag isn't worth much more than the current high bid. Others may disagree with me.

Boxermom,

Thank you so much for offering my your opinion on this one! I agree with you about the seller's feedback and about the vague description of the condition, I guess I just wanted someone with a little more experience to confirm my concerns with the bag itself as well as the seller.

I truly appreciate the honest feedback all you fabulous ladies offer us novices here! Thanks again for taking the time to look at the bag and for giving me your honest opinion on the condition and price!

You are very welcome, maltygirl. I'm glad you recognize that it's simply an opinion, but based on what I've learned the hard way, including my first BV being a fake from ebay, before I'd ever heard of Purse Forum.
