Hi experts:

Please help to authenticate this bag. What drawn me was the color but it looked rather beat up from the listing and I wonder if I can send it to the spa to revive it.
Below is the actual description:
Authentic bottega veneta tornabuoni mauve color medium veneta. In very very good condition inside and out no marks or scuffs at all. Comes with duat cover and authenticty cards/I]

As you can tell, the pictures and her description do not tally …

Item name: Bottega Veneta hobo bag
Seller: heljad
Item no: 15368593

Here are the pics from the tradesy listing

Any input you can give will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.:D



This authentic, in the color "Grape". The photo of it under her arm has the best color - I think the other pics are washed out from the flash of the camera. It looks fine to me, with maybe some discoloration around the zipper area and the 'tournaboni' weave. I'm sure BV could do a spa on this.

Hi indiaink - WOW thanks! Very interesting, so the real color is not pink as in the first few pcs but the last with the seller carrying it. Appreciate your time to look at my request. Cheers!
 
Trying again. can someone tell me if it is authentic and what name it has.
Thank you

I do apologize, but the photos we need to authenticate are not clear enough; if you won this item, please provide a close-up photo of the heat stamp and the front/back of the white authenticity label. Or - if you are waiting to buy, see if the seller will provide them.

Many Bottega Veneta bags are not given a 'name'.

Pardon me for intruding--I'm not indiaink--but I've considered a few pieces in grape. I would describe it as a lilac-mauve. My former BV SA told me that it was the analog of that season's "lilac" color (lilac was nappa, but "grape" was shiny goatskin). I ended up choosing the lilac item, but the grape was very similar in color.

It's been several years since I've seen and handled the grape goatskin piece in person, but my memory of the color is close to the photo showing the zipper pull. The first few photos look washed out by flash. The last photo under the arm looks darker and more purple than I remember. For what it's worth, anyway.... The item does seem to have some wear, but I can't tell if there is discoloration, or if bad lighting in the photos is responsible for the darker areas.

Sure, not a problem at all. That's what this purse forum is for :tup::D Thanks for the caution and I will message the seller again for more details.
