I am in agreement about not authenticating knot bags. It is just too hard to tell from a picture. I do realize that authenticators are not libel, but BV bags are costly and it would be a shame for someone to be duped because lets face it, it is only a picture
 
Hi All! This is my first time coming to the all-knowing purse experts for help - I picked up this BV wallet at an estate sale today (for a song), and was hoping to authenticate. The leather is incredible quality, and all the finishings are quality - the only thing that gives me pause is the zipper. While 'quality' (clearly built to last), it just seems a little cheap design wise. Did I luck into a great find or is this just an excellent fake?

Thank you!

Look in the credit card slots. They hide the little devils


Okay so in the second from the top credit card slot on the right hand side there is evidence that there was a tag sewn in there at one point, but it's no longer there :( I've attached a photo, if it helps. I originally thought it might be 'debris' but it's fairly clearly not. ImageUploadedByPurseForum1463962346.033485.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1463962386.252122.jpg

Well everything on this wallet looks good but I can't authenticate it.
It is a beautiful wallet, enjoy it. No one will know but you that it is/isn't authentic
