It will help to see a clear photo of the font/stamped name in the leather, and also the authenticity tag, if possible. Seller's feedback items are private, so you can't check what has been previously sold. That always makes me wonder. The other detail that I notice is the interior arrangement of cc slots is different from the BV wallets I've seen, but this may just be another style.

Sorry I can't be more helpful. Maybe our other members will comment!
 
I have the similar styled wallet in black - zip around with the change portion in the middle and credit card slots on either side. It doesn't look like this. Which is fine, as they may have slightly altered the arrangement of the interior. But there is another detail about the wallet that is bugging me regarding authenticity. I agree with boxermom that I would want to see photos of the authenticity tag and stamped BV name. But the fact that she recently sold a Fendi spy for 132 pounds, and a Jimmy Choo bag for 185 pounds is not inspiring any authenticity confidence.

 
It looks fake to me. The font on the box is off, the interior looks different as everyone notes, and the edges are too square. The fact that it is "brand new" does not help (maybe if it was a vintage...). However, this is just my hunch.

Bunkie, I tried to read the font on the box, but couldn't! I know my eyesight isn't the best, but you must have the eyes of an eagle!!

Boxermom, don't feel bad. My laptop actually has a very interesting screen where you can see things that don't show up on a normal monitor. I also enhanced the photo (which was too dark in the auction) for us to see as well.

And as a Choo authenticator, let me tell you that Ramona was one of the most awful fakes I have seen in a while. :cursing: Even if that BV wallet was authentic (which I also doubt), I wouldn't bid on it just on principle.
 
I know nothing about BV, except I recently clicked on this subforum, and LOVE it. Can I get your opinions on this bag? TIA!

Hi! BV is a wonderful brand. Regarding this bag, I can't see the name font from the photos and seller did not include a photo of the authenticity tag. If you're seriously interested in this bag, I would ask the seller for clear photos of those 2 things and ask about the dust bag (is that a dust bag folded up inside in one of the photos?). What is a big red flag for me is the OLD dust bag shown when they claim the bag is brand new.
 
Hi ladies can you please take a look at this for me? Thank you in advance for your time.
