Additional information to my previous question (see the one above#28)

I am very new to BV and decided to start buying accessories first. I got the small bag and the card holder for a good price and am now afraid they are not authentic!

Pictures are all I have now, I will take additional pictures once I get the items, but the seller give me a serial number Bettega Veneta Card Case Serial # 32500125431SH don't know if that helps.

Thank you in advance for looking over these two items for me!! Hope they are auth!!

I hope others offer opinions, as always. I don't have a good feeling about either one. The second one has a font that isn't right and isn't crisp like BV stamps their name. The first one--I'd like to see the metal nameplate, but I've never seen the nameplate right at the top of the authenticity tag. It could be real, but it doesn't have a real BV look to it. Let's see what others think.

Thank you BoxerMom~!! The seller did ship out the items already so I am going to wait for it to get to me and I will take more pictures of the items. Then to see if there can be a conclusion on whether it is authentic or not.

Thank you!!:tup:

I have emailed the seller and told her that there are things that does not look so right on the two items. She got really offensive and told me she is selling family estee items and knows they are authentic for sure. She also said they are vintage items. Will that make a difference in term of tags and print??

Boxermom, thanks again for everything. i will post pictures once I receive the items!

Everyone wants to think their relatives would never own a fake, and maybe they didn't know it was a fake. Unless the seller went to the store when it was bought, she doesn't know for certain.

The older vintage bags will have the metal nameplates; seller should've provided a clear close-up of that plate. The tag shown right below the metal is found on vintage bags that are not the very oldest ones. I'm just saying I have never seen both the metal plate and that style tag in the same BV bag. And I have seen a lot of vintage bags and have owned many.

Regarding the blurry stamped font, BV stamps their font quite crisply. The lettering (it's hard to tell) looks off, too. Maybe seller's relative thought she was buying or receiving an authentic BV, but just didn't realize. Clearer photos will reveal more. I'm sorry if she's upset, but there are so many fakes out there of all brands, that a consumer needs to be very careful.

:sHi, would you please look at this for me? It's rather urgent. It's used and is maybe my only chance to buy such a bag-but I'd like to be sure of buying an authentic one. Thanks in advance.
