Hello! Could you please help authenticate this pre-owned Nero Large Campana for me? I have already purchased it but I feel a bit uncertain when comparing every detail with the authentic medium Campana I own.

The main problem is the heatstamp. When I touch it, it just does not feel very deep to the fingers like my other bags, and the metal zip is plain and not stamped 'riri'. The mirror stamp looks a 'bit' off too. However, the overall and feel of it is just great like the other BVs I own. So I need your help to authenticate this - I may return it to the seller if this is not genuine. Thank you so much in advance!

Style : Nero Large Campana
Condition : Pre-owned from Private Seller
Year : 2010
Concerns : Heatstamp, Zipper, Mirror Stamp

Your Nero Large Campana is authentic, IMO.
The heat stamps in my experience aren't that "deep" when they are imprinted directly on the leather versus those found on bags like the Veneta. Much like the colour and heaviness of the ink print on the authenticity tags, these do vary from bag to bag, and year to year. :flowers:

As V0N said, this is authentic. If you look at the location of the heatstamp it is in an area where the leather is pulled every time you open the bag, because of the magnetic closure. So the depth of the stamping will not maintain over time.

You might consider getting your bags authenticated here before you purchase, saving yourself some worry. :flowers:
 
Dear Von and Indiaink,

Thank you so much for your kind help! I was very panic when I received this bag as it came with an obvious fake BV dust bag. I inquired with the seller and she told me that she lost the original dust bag during her relocation so she bought a dust bag online, in which she did not know if it was authentic or not. That brought me to scrutinize the bag and its mirror closely and started panicking! Now I can sleep with peace. Thanks so much again :-)

Hello all

Please help authenticate this. I am not sure if the glimmer totes come in this shade of green.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/182288001875?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

The seller sent me the front of the white label. I asked for the rear of it as well as underside of the zipper pull. STE declined and maintained that this is a genuine piece.

Grateful for your guidance before making a decision.

Thanks tons in advance
Can you post the label? I can't really give you much of an opinion without it.
If it is authentic, I would assume the colour is New Sauge from Spring 2015, and the insets would be Flamingo?
I don't know what colours were offered in this silhouette, but I can check. :flowers:

Here's the photo the seller was kind enough to provide me - but you can see it's not very good. I think this is authentic: everything looks good, but let's wait to confirm with V0N. There is nothing here to think it's other then authentic...

I tend to think it's authentic. There's nothing screaming fake to me. If you buy it, please post your own clearer photos in the thread :flowers:

Great ! Thanks again Von and Indiaink! Sorry to pose one more Q- does BV use the type of clasp that is shown on Pic 7 in the listing ? I tend to see concealed clasps. Thanks for your further guidance

Because it has two sections that close with that magnetic snap, that's why you see it. If it had the hidden closure in the center it wouldn't work for both sides. So yes, this is consistent for this style of bag. I can't believe that hasn't been snatched up yet!
