You could try Authenticate4U. I don't know of many other companies, but A4U is very good at what they do. Just be warned that they are very inconsistent with replying. I hear (in the eBay forum) that they respond best through their Facebook page. Good Luck :flowers:
Thankyou VON1B2 for being so helpfull. They will hopefully give me the confirmation I require!!
 
DEAR ALL, PLEASE NOTE: I bid on a listing by this same seller, same colored bag, different numbers. Seller says, he has 3 bags, same color and model but no tags and no mirrors, bag is in the EU, The mentioned listing uses the same photos as previous listing. EXCEPT for the tags. I found this suspicious, I asked for 7 photos, never got an answer. If you are interested, I have photos of the other (sold bag) the seller sent to me 2 days ago. I did not move ahead with this purchase, instincts said, no.

Hello Bottega Veneta Experts,
Good afternoon. How are you today?
Will you please kindly help to authenticate this bag for me? Thank you!

Saw request for authentication on a bag I bid on 2 days ago, then I got a 2nd chance offer. Same photos were used, same listing, then personal emails of bag tags, only. I asked for more photos, never got any.

PREVIOUS LISTING,
seller: D4NEZU
http://www.ebay.com/itm/18225661754...535ae163c56&bu=43352036104&cp=1&sojTags=bu=bu

Hope I did the right thing by sharing this.
This bag raises several red flags for me...anyone else?

Thank you for sharing. Hmmm, the same seller just listed the same bag for sale, and she said that she has more than one to sell...hmmm. I like the bag; but, if there is a red flag, I better pass.
 
If you were to request an authentication in the future, it would be formatted like this:
Item Name: PRE Owned Authentic Bottega Veneta Leather Handbag RRP Over $2000
Listing number: 152200484537
Seller name or ID: g-gard3n
Working Link: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Pre-owne...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
Comments: Please authenticate

I have never seen this bag and don't know anything about it. However, nothing is raising any red flags for me. The zipper gives me the feeling that it may have been a men's bag, and the overall shape looks like it may have been a cross-body/messenger bag. The colour is Ebano and the leather is Cervo. The interior authenticity tag is consistent with those two things and although I can't see it in it's entirety, I will assume the first three digits are 105. This bag is probably about 15 years old, give or take a few years. That's about the best I can do unfortunately, but I have no reason to think this bag isn't authentic.
If anyone else wants to chime in, please do :flowers:

Thankyou very much!
Sorry I didn't get the format correct and very much appreciate your help!!!
 
Sorry for the belated thank you, but thank you! You guys are amazing (I didn't get it in the end so... will likely be asking for your collective help again in future)


The Nero Pillow in the listing looks authentic, IMO :flowers:

This is authentic, IMO.
It's not a "pillow", and I don't know if this has a specific name but it might be called a cube messenger or something. The colour is Celeste. :flowers:

I think this bag came out right before the pillow came out
If I remember correctly it came out in 2 sizes

You are quite correct - this is the "Cube Messenger". Love this bag - it's very very unique.


The "Pillow" messenger was issued in two sizes - but this is not the Pillow.
