I am attaching pictures. However, I am 99,999% sure now that it is fake. I am going to return it to the seller. Zippers look fake on my bag, no authenticity tag at all, and zipper pull looks very suspicious too.

Light colors are tricky
They always show dirt and color transfer
I actually think this is in pretty good shape for a bag from 2007. There is no guarantee that even if you sent it for spa treatment that it would come clean. It is a shame because they don't make this Montaigne anymore😨

It's a beautiful bag, price is tempting. But you are right, a spa session may not be much help :(

Can anyone authenticate this BottegaVeneta bag I purchased in 2013 from a consignment store in Switzerland? I amconfident the owner of the store takes care to source genuine designer bags,but given I have been unable to trace this particular model anywhere on the netI would welcome your input. I was told it was a limited edition. I cannot besure what collection it is from but I am guessing between 2009-2011.


It is silver with beautiful flowers on thechain. I am afraid it is difficult to get a good quality photo of the BottegaVeneta stamp on the silver leather. Here are the photos - I can provide more ifneeded. All input will be gratefully received.

Sorry everyone. I provided a link to the photos as when I attempted to attach photos one by one, I got a message saying a "security token" is missing and I should contact TPF administrator. Help! Now I see that the photos via the link are small. I'll try to resolve the issue and post larger photos.

It's authentic, IMO.
This bag is a bit older than your estimate and while I don't think it's a true limited edition (no brass or silver metal plaque stating so on the interior of the bag), it was most likely offered for that season only. The perforations and scalloped edges were offered on a few different silhouettes that season - like the Veneta, SLGs, etc.
I believe your bag is from the Fall/Winter 2006 collection. It was offered in Noce, White and Nero as well.

Here is a link to the bag featured on the PurseBlog site, done in velvet: http://www.purseblog.com/shoulder-bags/bottega-veneta-velvet-shoulder-bag/

Hope that helps a little bit :flowers:

Nikkifresh2 the 2nd pyramid is authentic. The first one. Is a mess. I am not saying it is not authentic or not. I can barely make out details. I am on my phone. The lining seemed beyond cleaning. I don't know if it is my phone or the pictures were bad but it seemed that the pictures were taken at a distance so you really couldn't see details. Maybe just my phone. Sorry
