Item Name: Bottega Veneta Woven Nappa Leather Hobo Handbag Purse Black
Listing number: 331000218218
Seller name or ID: 11xgrandma
Working Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/331000218218?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_4155wt_1255
Comments: Does it look like this Old Pyramid strap has been modified to be a short strap only? I'm still searching on how the short and long strap positions on the Pyramid bag looks like. Thanks!

I hope that I'm not requoting my request too quickly, but I did end up purchasing this bag and would love to have someone give me an opinion as to its authenticity. Thanks!!
 
Can someone authenticate this bag for me?
I'm brand new to Bottega Veneta and I've been reading this thread for days.
I found this bag at a local thrift store. It's approx. 8.5"w x 8.5"h x 4"d. Strap drop to "suspenders" 19"
Is it vintage? The metal name plaque is the only identification inside the bag.
Is there a name for this type of embossed leather?
Does this bag have a name? Date of manufacture? Color name?
I would greatly appreciate any info anyone can give. I can supply additional photos if needed.
Thanks in advance!

Dear Expert,

I am in trouble. BV potion strikes me in a big way. I just bought large veneta 2 days ago and now inclining to acquire one more sloane right away !!

Could you be so kind to authenticate this bag for me? I know Brandoff is quite established but they do buy 2nd hand bags from customer and resell it. So, just wanna be sure.

Also, do you know what color is this? Seller said it's from year 2010, thanks a ton!

This appears to be an authentic vintage BV bag; I think the leather pattern was called 'marco polo'. There should be a label inside the zippered pocket, sewn into one of the seams. Without that label, it would be impossible to be sure on this. It would also help to have a photo of the inside zipper pull.

Thanks for your response. The inside pocket is lined with black satin, however there is no label, nor evidence there ever was one. The zipper pull on the inside pocket is in the photo of the name plate. I've repeated it here for your convenience. I still have my fingers crossed that it's authentic...hoping for good news!

I don't have first-hand experience with vintage, so take this with a grain of salt. There are a few details here that don't seem quite right to my eye and would seem inconsistent with what (little) I know about the Marco Polo line and the vintage bags in general. I hope one of our vintage experts will give you more of a definitive answer.

Thanks for your input...standing by for other comments. I appreciate everyone's time and effort on my behalf!

Ah, so sorry I was blind on this one - that pull doesn't quite look right, and the fact that it has no label - and the way it's put together, those three things make me feel this is suspect, at best.
