In our opinion (several of us who authenticate BV bags), this is a fake. I'm so sorry. Is there any way you can return it and get your money back?

It doesn't help you, but you are not alone in being fooled. The first *Bottega Veneta* bag I bought turned out to be fake and I could not get my money back. That's when I learned about Purse Forum. any brand that I do not know a lot about, I will have authenticated by the experts of that brand before I buy. (Unless I buy from a real store, of course).

I'm of the same opinion as Miss Fancy Bags & boxermom that this is not authentic. It's not just the color code. There are other markers that are suspect.

BTW, I just saw photos of the receipt you just posted. Again, that's not how a receipt from an official Bottega Veneta boutique looks like. I agree with boxermom's suggestion that whenever in doubt, just ask for an authenticator's opinion before you buy.

We need some additional, clear photos before authenticating. I know wallets are not the easiest items to photograph. We would need a readable photo of the white tag (on my monitor the tag is too blurry to read except for the 1000 color code at the end). Also a clear photo of the heat stamp/font in the wallet--these are usually easy to find and photograph using the macro (*flower*) setting on the camera. And on wallets, I like to see the zipper pull and the coin section. This sounds like a lot of work, but there are a lot of fake wallets out there, believe it or not. Thanks!

Hi, I see what Boxermom is talking about. Can you post a question in the main thread asking if anyone has this Tourmaline Cabat? It's best to compare with someone who has this exact one. My cabats are older and a detail or two may have changed. :smile1:

Thanks a lot, Boxermom and Miss_FancyBags. I will pass this one then. Can you see if these two cabat are authenticate?

This one doesn't look like a typical medium cabat to me, size-wise.

Again, thanks a lot! You guys are really awesome!

I think the second bag is authentic.

The first bag needs more photos before we can offer opinions: the white authenticity tag and a readable photo of the metal engraved plate. The zipper pull would be helpful too.

Thanks a lot, Boxermom and TDL! I have the same concern. The first seller, Tansnowylotus, doesn't responde to my question at all! For the second one, why is the size different from a typical cabat medium? Thanks!

You're welcome. The Cabat used to be done in 4 sizes - mini, medium, large and uomo (extra large). They only make 3 sizes now. The mini has been discontinued a while back much to the dismay of a lot of members in this sub-forum. The Uomo is technically from the Men's collection and is not commonly found in most stores.
