The picture of the snakeskin looks like authentic snake. I would ask to see the label, and the authenticity tag, if there is one. The seller has 100% feedback, but all recent sales are for much lower priced items... and her purchases are for relatively low priced items. As a rule of thumb, that makes me cautious. In addition, the tag with the barcode is marked BetseyLuxe - the id used by this seller. What does that mean??? Her other items for sale are definitely not the same caliber, if this is real. My advise: proceed with extreme caution or do not proceed.

Thanks. I don't think I will go for it. I appreciate your help.

Just a little more information on the bag since the seller might list again. I emailed the seller, she said she bought it on bluefly last year and never uses it.

Hi there! Someone asked earlier about this one and it's authentic, but my complaint is that the BIN is OVER retail for the medium Veneta. Possibly bidding will stay below retail, but the dustbag indicates it's a couple years old, even if it's never been used. So please don't pay the Buy It Now price!!! (I'm editorializing and shouldn't, but the BIN price irritates me:wtf:)

I have a quick question: Bottega veneta items come with a card with numbered from 0 to 9. What is that for? Please tell me its a buy ten, get one free kind of deal.;) I didn't know where to ask this question so I thought that this forum would be as good as any. Thanks a bunch!

I have seen a number of these jackets on ebay - here is one going for $695 currently. One sold last week for $1600 I think????? Does that mean that did not sell well at BV and now the remaindered items are going for dirt cheap?

I love the fact that it is over the top, but always wonder when you see a relative "flood" on ebay. If you do end up buying one, please please please post action shots

I know it would be that funky piece that would make so many outfits special. But I'm really a 2-4, but with very broad shoulders (I do a lot of rock climbing) so my body is a little hard to fit sometimes. Buying a jacket over ebay, of all places, might be too risky. But somebody else should totally get it and post pictures!!!:graucho:

Because the pics of the impressed nameprint and the authenticity tag are not clear, I do not want to go out on a limb, though I suspect that this is authentic. Request clear pics of these items - ask that she use the macro setting on her camera.

Too big? Well, I am a big bag lady, even though I am very petite. This is a matter of personal preference IMHO. The larger the Veneta, the drapier it is, and I love the drape of this and the large size bag.
