I am wondering if this bag is new
Maybe it was a return by someone else
In any case the "flaws" or "wear" is very minor and I would just enjoy the bag

Thank you septembersiren! Yeah, I started to think the same thing that it maybe a second hand since you all think it should be authentic. I've returned it to the store and they will deliver me a new one, hopefully!
This Small Olimpia with the overstitching is a current season bag so hopefully you won't have any issues getting another one sent out.
The heatstamping on both bags look fine. The details you point out generally have nothing to do with determining authenticity. I know a while ago I used to see these online authenticity guides that would mention the B should be almost touching the rivet on the heatstamp. This is just a misconception like a lot of the other things written. Often, heatstamps are just "off" and can be an indicator of a counterfeit bag when coupled with other factors that just aren't right. Models can change slightly from year to year and what was once true of one silhouette is not necessarily true of a newer season bag. Things like hardware, zippers, heatstamps, pocket linings.... It's more about keeping track of those changes and knowing whether they match the item in question.
septembersiren is probably sleeping but I can tell you both the Capri Tote and the Pillow/Nodini Messenger are authentic, IMO.
Now go enjoy your loot.

Thank you so much V0N1B2! it is such a relief! I was waiting for the result of the authentication like a student waiting for the exam result!
It is a really wonderful and helpful forum and I really appreciate all your help! I'm definitely going out now with the beautiful bag!
Best regards
hi BV at tpf! this is my first post so I hope I am following the rules correctly - I have been searching for a vintage red BV wallet to replace the one that my grandmother gave me that was stolen several years ago. I see this one on vestiaire collective and am wondering if anyone could help me tell if this is real- I am sorry for the lack of photos, but what I've posted below are the only photos available on the site:
Item Name: ???
Seller name or ID: Chicca

I apologize if this is not the proper format, I read the first posts but please correct me if this is wrong!

This does not appear to be authentic, based on at least two things I see. Is there a white tag in the zippered pocket? It would be sewn into the seam...Other photos.Someone knows the name of this model
THANKS IN ADVANCE
