Hello Purse Forum team! A newbie here. :smile:

This was my first ever designer bag. I received it from a friend in 2012 and it came with a Bottega Veneta dust bag and tag, but being the purse newb I was, I tossed those out. I would like to authenticate this bag before selling it to someone else so that they know for certain if it's authentic or not. Sorry I don't have the model name, but attached are the pictures. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

There is nothing in the photos to make me doubt the authenticity of this bag.
However, it is my opinion that if you are going to sell it that you should pay for a professional authentication from a service like Authenticate4u. (or other similar service) I don't think it's very much (around $25?) and it will give your buyer piece of mind. Much better than the opinion of someone on a purse forum. I think it's a good idea for all sellers to do this and it gives the seller and the item for sale more credibility - not to mention the possibility of a SNAD/fake claim would be less likely.
The bag doesn't really have a formal name and is commonly known as the "fortune cookie bag". It is a staple at the outlets and I think (not 100% fact) that they produce this bag in outlet-specific seasonal colours, so pinpointing a colour is not something I'm able to help you with. :flowers:

Omg, thank you so much for the helpful And speedy response! I'll go ahead and work on an authentication through Authenticate4u. :p
 
Hello! I wonder if someone could kindly give an opinion on this little intrecciato. It looks beautiful but has no certification code tag. Thanks so much!

Hi guys! I just bought my first BV bag. It is preloved and I bought it from a friend. Can somebody share his/her thoughts regarding the authenticity of this bag?

I'd like to see a photo of the front and back of the white authenticity label on both: That's located inside the zippered pocket on the bag, and inside a slip pocket on the wallet, but to be honest, both of these look good. Beware the wear on the pink wallet - .
