Nina, see the first post in this thread for what we need. Your seller (or you, if you've already received this) will find the white authenticity tag inside the zippered pocket, sewn into a seam. And we need a close-up of the heat stamp -I can't quite make it out in these photos. Thanks!

There's no white tag

I'm not happy with that heat stamp - and with no tag inside the zippered pocket - I think this may be a vintage bag. Can you post a pic of the zipper pull that you open/close the bag with?

Many thanks, indiaink. Hoping that someone will help me too. Thanks again.

In my opinion, this bag is a fake. The heat stamp is of wrong fond and wrong spacing. The leather is of poor quality. The hardware is also of poor quality. I am sure it is not authentic at all.

I agree. The heat stamp is a poorly rendered fake of the BV logo.

Thank you very much Amy & Mousse. God bless.

Yes, the zipper pull confirmed it. For the heat stamp to look so bad as though on a much older bag, and then to have the "new" zipper pull, and then for it to be so cheap (the zipper) - all confirmed: Not authentic. Thanks Amy and Mousse!
