Hi all, anyone know this seller and is it authentic?
Also, which season is this from & how much was it when it was first selling? I thought its a little pricey because it is quite used....but then I dont know much about different bottega prices.

I don't know anything about the style but I do know the seller and have bought a couple of authentic BV pieces from her (including my very first BV!) - so I don't think you need to worry about that. Hopefully someone else here will know about the actual bag.

OK, I am back at it again... weeding out the fakes. I think that this one is not authentic, but I need confirmation:

Any thoughts? TIA

Oh my, I missed that one. Tomas Maier would have a fit if he saw that advertised as a BV. I wonder if it even has a heat stamp/font or tag inside. The hardware and lining alone are enough to immediately tell me it's fake. BV would never make anything that horrid.

Is this authentic BV?
Thanks very much ..

I'm not sure. It appears to be of a vintage newer than the really old ones. The leather looks good and the seams line up nicely. The things that make me wonder are the suede lining (I didn't think suede was used years ago in BV) and the interior pocket style which is unlike the vast majority of BV pockets. Seller has another vintage BV that is authentic, so this may be also.

I hope others will comment.
