You're missing a zipper pull: Check with Modern Leather in NYC to see about the cost. On their web site they have a contact page where you can get a quote from them.

You can also call as well! Their number is on the website. It'll get you an immediate answer. Sometimes they don't always respond to their emails; it's a very old school leather repair place. Super sweet guys; definitely don't hesitate asking!

I went once to get my one BV bag looked over to see if they could clean it and they're incredibly nice! Their prices are definitely not super cheap though, but catch them in a good mood they might just help you out. They gave me a free zipper pull and attached it for me on my favorite wallet!

Sorry for being off topic!

It's the end of the stud that connects the strap you're missing?
You can contact Modern Leather for that as the ladies mentioned, but a good leather repair or cobbler may be able to put a new stud (end cap) in there for you.
If it was me though (and since you got such a steal on this bag), I would spend the extra money and have Modern Leather do the repair for you. I don't want to say you'll get a genuine Bottega Veneta part, but it will be the right colour. :flowers:

Thanks! The handle length was adjusted as well. It is close to the zipper if you can see it. Would you be concerned?

In looking at the photos you provided, I do see wear and tear to this bag. Along with the shortened strap, I think I would pass. Your instinct is telling you something. We shouldn't be the ones to tell you to get a bag, or not. It is your decision. If it doesn't make you happy, I'd pass.

There are three things completely "off" about this bag, and that's with the sh!tty photos.
Ask the seller to provide pictures of:
1) clear closeup of the authenticity tag.
2) clear closeup of the LE plate on the pouch
3) photo of the entire bottom of the bag

The tag is blurry as all get out, but to me, none of the numbers match a Cabat.

The bag definitely looks off to me. The proportions of the bag itself, the top edge detail, as well as the edge and shape of the leather pouch. The brown BV tag is also suspect. And that's without seeing the tag and the plate.

Mmm hmm...
I would really like OP or anyone else with the time, to get the photos so I/we can report the listing.
IMO, this is a classic case of tag switching because as far as I'm concerned, the auth tag (which they didn't even put back properly) belongs to an Edoardo continental wallet.
These people :rolleyes:
