Thank You!! Just for my own knowledge, if a seller is a current member of tPF can you assume the bag they are selling is authentic?
Not necessarily.

I think I should have used "contributing" member. Because there is no way to NOT be a member, once you sign up. Because members of each sub-forum tend to recognize contributing members over time, and then trust them based on history. Does that make sense?

Your links aren't working for me. Can you re-post them or paste the pictures into your post? BV bags don't always come with "authenticity tags" or cards like some other brands. They sometimes have little brown cards in an envelope in the pocket but I think they get misplaced. There should definitely be a white authenticity tag sewn into the right hand side seam of the interior pocket. :flowers:

I think you have to have a minimum number of posts before you can upload photos. When you can, re-size the photos. PowerPoint is not a format supported for uploading on this forum.

If you bought this bag at TJ Maxx, it's most likely going to be authentic, just to ease your mind.

Thank you for your response - the bag seems pretty authentic - my only issue is the zipper (3) has a single butterfly engraved on it (backside). I can't find info about that anywhere. Do you know anything about this ?

That's a BV mark, but again - we can't verify its authenticity without seeing photos. And again, if you bought it from a store, there's nothing alarming.
 
Hi, I recently bought this crossbody bag and am not sure if it's authentic. I have little experience with BV. Can anyone please take a look at these photos and let me know what you think?

Based on several things I am seeing, I would say this is not authentic. If you can provide two more photos of the front and back of the white authenticity label you'll find inside the zippered pocket, that will help to confirm.

Yes, no white tag. I've just seen some advertised with no white tag in this style and was hoping. Good to know its inside the pocket! Thank you so much for your time.
 
Hi, I am new to this forum and recently bought this Top Handle Boston Bag, I am new to BV, would anyone please take a look at these photos and authenticate this bag?

Thanks a lot in advance!

PS, Seller claims she lost the original beige dust bag, and send me a Brown Dust bag in the pic, and she also lost the cards.

This is authentic. Just FYI, cards and dust bags are not always given out with a new purchase, so the loss of those is not a bad thing. Looks like your bag is in good condition, and you can work with those curling strap ends and get them to lay flat with time and attention. Congrats on your purchase, I hope you received a good price for her!
