Comments:Good evening. I was wondering if anyone could help me authenticate, age, and value this bag. Thank you all in advance.
Vintage is really not my forté, so I can only approximate it to be from somewhere between the early-70s to mid-80s.
It has all of the markers of authenticity I would expect from an authentic bag of this vintage.
As for value... it might be best to check sites like eBay for similar items.
Sorry, that's the best I can do. :flowers:
 
please help mw authenticate this bag:smile:

1. I prefer not to authenticate Knots - I think they should go to a paid service.
2. Even if I did, there are not enough pictures to authenticate it. Need closeup of the knot, the imprint on the ends of the knot, both sides, the bottom, etc....
3. Having said that, there are things about this that give me pause. I would not bid on this, personally. :flowers:
 
Oh so not authentic. No self-respecting BV Cabat has ties to hold it together. For shame - this one needs reporting.

Ss, do you think this Cabat looks authentic? I was a little concerned with the piecing.

No it is not authentic
But not because of the ties

Agreed. The basis of my earlier reply was not solely based on the ties, either.
The ties were only a small part of my opinion, glad we're all agreed. :heart:

i would really appreciate your opinion now that the new photos have been added

My opinion hasn't really changed.
I still think Knots (and this one in particular) would be best authenticated by a paid service, and there are still things I don't like about the Knot in the listing you provided.
My personal opinion is that it isn't authentic, but I welcome everyone else's input if they would like to take a look. :flowers:
*maybe I'm just being too picky (but I doubt it).
