It looks good to me - if the bag is newer, as you say, it would be stiffer - many here recommend putting in a couple of canned goods and hanging the bag from a door handle for a few days to help loosen it up.

Seller:Trendlee
Item BV Campana- purple
Comments: the interior doesn't have that soft BV feeling, it feels fake. I am in possession of the item and there is an authenticity document included, but because of the interior feeling to the touch,I am concerned.
Thank you for your assistance!

Nothing is alarming but the heatstamp, and underside of the zipper would be helpful.
BV may have used a different suede for the interior that season? The inside of my Opera Roma is a stiffer suede than my Nero Roma as well as the rest of my bags. Hard to pinpoint a year and colour but it could be Aubergine from Fall 2014? I think there was also a Maroon/Marron done just a few seasons before that (but I could be mistaken).
That being said, if you aren't happy - return it.
Here are more photos, sorry I forgot those pics...I think I already had the certificate back and front? but I will include it again the authentication was done by "******************". I'm pondering, I agree if it's not right I will return it. I'm just surprised the interior smells odd because I once bought a fake bag that had that same strange interior feel & toxic smell.
Thanks again, [emoji4] I really appreciate your impressions! Warmest regards!
Everything looks like it should, IMO. If you have a good rapport with an SA, perhaps she can run the tag for you.
BV has used a variety of linings over the years, some soft, some stiff, some thick, some thin... but as I said before, if you aren't happy with it, return. I have never dealt with Trendlee before, but I assume they are a big seller and have a good return policy. There will be another Campana.

Hi, could you please check this bag for me please? My mom passed away last year and I'm helping to liquidate the items. My dad is questioning the authenticity of this bag. Thanks in advance for your help.

I have pm the seller and he sent me these photos of the bag (i will attach it below). Seller claimed that he got the bag from a reseller in Japan and is assured of its authenticity.
What raised my concern is the 2nd line on the authenticity tag. Firstly, it isnt printed to be totally visible. Secondly, the 2nd line does not start with "EPEV" then the "Year of Made" then the unique code..
Please help.. thanks in advance

This is an authentic older Veneta with a tag consistent from that era; not all of the information on a tag was always available due to it being sewn deeper into the seam. Lovely Ebano brown color! Looks luscious!Hi, can someone please help to authenticate this
