These listings do not include all the photos we need for authentication. Post #1 of this thread explains the photos that help us authenticate. The font is shown for each one but neither listing has any photos of the white authenticity tags or the zipper pulls. I don't see any obvious warning signs but can't give an opinion without additional photos. Thanks!

No this handbag is not going to show up for resale anywhere, just wanted an opinion. My friend wanted to know what it was worth, just for herself. There were no other labels or markings on this bag to show. As well, it only allowed me to upload 5 pictures so I thought these were the most important. I am going to show you some more pics. Thank you for your help

this looks to be authentic vintage and even still has the tortoise shell mirror! Terrific find!

Hi, I agree with boxermom that there are no warning signs and it appears to be a vintage BV. I would be interested in seeing if this bag has an auth. tag in the pocket (pics of front and back) :smile1:

For authentication, we need more photos. Post #1 in this thread explains the photos that help us determine our opinions of authenticity. For example, this listing should include photos of both sides of the white authenticity tag (usually found inside an interior pocket), the heat stamp/font found inside the bag, and also the zipper pull including the stamped back side of the metal zipper pull. Thanks!

Here are pictures of front and back of handbag. There are no other authenticity tags except for the one I showed a picture of, the metal logo inside on pocket. That is why I was questioning authenticity. Could you tell me what the approximate value of this bag is?

This bag looks pre Tomas Maier when they were using logos and nonsense on the bags
when BV had lost it's way and was searching for it's identity again

Hi, it's not as desired as the leather luxury BVs that BV is known for. Value would depend upon condition and finding that one person who is looking for this print :) It would possibly make a great beach bag!

I don't see anything wrong with it, but seller should have included a photo of the font/heat stamp that shows the imprinted BV name insode the bag. However, I'm pretty sure this is authentic evenwithout that photo (breaking my own rule about that one photo). It would be great if she could give us that last piece of information before you send payment.

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!

so I took a chance and get this, and I finally got some additional photos, could you just verify please? thanks
