All three appear to be authentic.
Sorry it took so long but I wanted to be sure about one of them.
The new tag formatting is making it harder with some of the bags.
There's nothing to stop someone from buying a cheap item like a card case or pouch, and taking the auth tag and sewing it into an extremely well copied fake. We've seen it done twice already this year and it really sucks. *not giving anyone any ideas of course
It's not all about the authenticity tag, but when the higher quality fakes are using the correct zippers, getting the heatstamp, lining and stitching right, it's sometimes one of the only things that will set it apart from the real deal.

Thank you for the update and for the insight! Scary to think that fakes that are so difficult to detect are out there on the market already. I appreciate the expertise of all the authenticators. It takes a lot of your time and it is very helpful.

Item name: not sure
Purchased: online consignment store
Comments: The leather is soft like my other BV bags and seams look well made. There is a snap closure with the words TOHPO and Pat 1431505 on it. What throws me off is the BV metal tag that is on the right hand side of the bag when you open the flap. I've attached pictures of the zipper as well. The lining inside the pocket does not have any fabric label tag and the lining itself is plain. Not sure if this is a vintage bag perhaps? Or not authentic :sad: Any help is greatly appreciated--thank you!

Hello - I was hoping someone could provide their input on the following:

Item Name: Bottega Veneta Crossbody Bag in Carmine Red Calf Leather
Listing number: ?
Seller name or ID: bvbags
Working Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Authentic-B...459501?hash=item419e58462d:g:iQcAAOSwgQ9VtqFe
... it is also on Malleries at: http://www.malleries.com/authentic-bottega-veneta-crossbody-bag-in-carmine-red--i-214961-s-2710.html
Comments: The listing indicates that the color is Carmine but I don't believe the color code matches up (I think they meant it was Cardinal but, even then, I think the color code number may be off a number). I'm also wondering about the snap - I always thought BV used magnets hidden behind the leather but this is out in the open. It looks legit to me so am thinking it might be a 'made for outlet' BV?

Thank you so much for any input you can share!

I'm not really that great with the vintage bags, so I'll refrain from giving my opinion on this one. If someone else here can't help you, maybe you could try one of the authentication services like authenticate4u. I think it's pretty cheap, like less than $15.
Sorry I can't be of more help :flowers:

Sorry for the late replies - I've been on holidays for the last week. :flowers:
It would have been nice to see a nice clear shot of the heatstamp, but it appears to be an authentic Nero Large Veneta.

Did you buy both of them?
I'm inclined to say that both are authentic but the seller didn't provide all the necessary photos need to authenticate. Good price, that's for sure.
Will you post your bag when you get it?
I tried to look at their other listings but it came up empty.

The listing has ended, sorry I didn't get to it sooner.
This looks like an authentic Ebano Veneta, but it is a Large, not a Maxi as the listing states. :flowers:

BV Bags only sells authentic, so with that out of the way... Yes, I also believe the colour is Cardinal. As for a made for outlet bag, I couldn't say. The bag pictured (to me) looks like a smaller version of the cross-body flap messenger so it's possible it came with an exposed magnet closure. The Roma has an exposed closure, so it's not out of the question that they would use it on something else.
Hope that helps a little bit :flowers:
