The reason why I am quoting myself is because there is some question with this seller in the Hermes authentication thread - post 3639 from perlerare http://forum.purseblog.com/authenti...-please-read-rules-use-format-523064-243.html says she cannot give the seller a green light regarding a birkin. I don;t know how pertinent this is to my authentication request, but I am leaning towards not pursuing this particular bag for this reason. I wanted to put that info in this thread, should it help anyone else searching for this seller. I also have to apologize - in my eagerness to put in my authenticate request, I did not do a search for the seller patina on BV forum first. TIA
I was thinking very seriously about a Bottega Veneta cabat from this seller (patina) and while I know you authenticate each bag individually on its own merits and these are two different bags, I find your statements re the Hermes bag helps me in my where to buy BV cabat decision making process!

880, not to take this totally off-topic, but I feel responsible for this and want to state this for the record (I was the one with the endless queries pursuing a Birkin under 9k, and having had haggled her down to 8k, this would be a horrible disservice for my queries to cause this, especially because she is so sweet and professional).

While this seller may not be an H expert (and I have moved on just in case), I know for a fact having watched her auctions for some time, that her expertise is mainly in Chanel, BV and Balenciaga.

You will also note that it was repeatedly stated that they could not state whether the Birkin was real or fake - as they stated they were on the fence (the fakes were outright declared "fake"). While I think the experts on the H forum may doubt her expertise in H, or her sparse history of selling H, I don't think anyone has questioned this seller's integrity; in fact I think perlerare stated she is very professional and takes her job very seriously, and she later states in the thread to me that she is simply uncertain and I should ask the seller where the bag came from.

I don't want my persistent queries to be cause to dissuade anyone from her other listings, particularly in her areas of expertise, including her expertise in BV. And as doloresmia states, the last negative or neutral feedback she received as a high-end brand reseller with 30+ listings at any given time, was in 2005 by a non-paying bidder, and her previous positive feedbacks from happy customers range from low $1k's items to up to $10k (did a massive search while obsessing over the B).

I am sorry, mods, for taking this OT, but I feel responsible

wendionion - i am not an expert on these styles so you will need to wait for another opinion. however, as i mentioned to you earlier today we need a certain level of pix in order to authenticate. there are only two pictures in the second listing. it is requested that you please ask for the nessary photos before you request authentication as it saves time for the ladies like baggiana and boxermom who volunteer their services here.

Thanks Tokku re the info about the seller Patina. It is my understanding someone has already purchased the BV cabat from her. In any case, I don;t think you should feel badly. No one is questioning this seller's integrity in any case - if anything - it is just due diligence on large purchases. I am responding here with the seller's name so that it will come up in future searches.

Thanks 880! Didn't know it was already sold
Good luck to you! I saw one in NYC at a consignment shop for $2.5K (ebano) but that was a few months back...

The first bag doesn't include a photo of the font in the listing--we always want to see that. The other thing about this bag---call me crazy, but this doesn't look like Karung to me. I'm not an expert on exotics but it looks too even, like it's a stamped material such as what they use in the Marco Polo collection for BV. I know I've seen this bag, but I can't find it in my pile of catalogs, so I can't give you a name or year right now . I think it's recent, though.

Second bag, (I saw the 2 additional photos and read in her listing why she didn't include them) we still need to see the side of the white authenticity tag with the code on it.

Sorry I can't be more helpful. I'll try to locate both bags for more info.
