Needed Pictures: Please make sure the item in question has clear close-ups of
1. all logos including those on hardware and pressed into leather
2. both sides of the authenticity tag
3. views of zippers and zipper pulls
4. views of the lining
5. outside views of all sides and bottom

However, I will save you the trouble of re-posting as these items are not authentic.
Vintage isn't really my forté. However, nothing sends up any red flags. As for an age, does it have an authenticity tag in the zippered pocket? 70s bags didn't have them, but ones from the late 80s and 90s did.
That's about the best I can do. There are other ladies here much better schooled in the vintage bags than me
Hi Von
Seller said no white label and can't recall which year she purchased it. In the meantime, my friend managed to lay her hands on another fabulous BV clutch and at a much better price. Plus it is brand new! Thus, she decided to give this vintage clutch a pass.
Thought I'll update you and thanks again for all the help and prompt response.
Have a great week ahead
Could you please take a look at this bag? Thanks!

Perhaps someone else here can give an opinion on this bag?
Ideally I would really like to see a photo of the heatstamp, but it looks good from what I see so far.
Thank you Von. Appreciate your time. [emoji253]Ideally I would really like to see a photo of the heatstamp, but it looks good from what I see so far.
It might be my monitor, or the light in which it was photographed, but is the seller sure it's Nero? It almost looks like Ardoise to me.
The seller indicated that it is black but Ardoise is so dark that it might seem like just black to the seller. Thank you for looking at it again. I am actually pleased if it indeed turns out to be Ardoise instead.
Please take a look at these for me. Thanks.

Hi. I bought this because I liked it but
I've not seen any design like this listed as a Bottega Veneta It was advertised as 'vintage'. There was no tag inside. Please advise if this is really an authentic bag.

Thank you so much

The Python Belly is authentic, IMO. I have no idea what size it is.
The "Bella" is also authentic, IMO.
The Python Duette is authentic as well. I haven't got a clue what colour it is.
Vintage is not my forté but the bag pictured has the details I would expect to see from an authentic BV of this vintage. It looks more like the Marco Polo treatment to me (not leather). However if the seller claims it feels like leather, then it may very well be.
Perhaps someone more skilled in vintage can help you
