Louliu71, you are in the correct thread for authentication. The directions on how to post an eBay auction are in post #1 of this thread, please review them.
Based on the photos, I believe this scarf to be authentic. The real test is how it feels, but that is not possible in an auction. The tag could be cut if the scarf were originally sold at a sale, and was cut to prevent return, or it may have shown a price, I'm not sure. Welcome to Bottega Veneta, I am a big fan of Mulberry, too!

Thanks, so much! I have my eye on. Pyramid bag and may need it authenticated if I bid on it - need to do a bit more research on the style first to make sure it would work for me.

I think the app was playing up as found it on the classic site after posting, typical! Thought it strange

The feel of what I was expecting it to be is bang on, very similar to a mulberry scarf I have, I'm pretty sure it's ok too
Mulberry exclusive for a while, but have wandered a bit recently to Bal and Chloe and now BV

or, if a longer tag (care, fabric, other info) was sewn to it, it could have been cut off with a tiny corner
mine has a big triple drop-down piece of fabric with all info in various languages attached to the tag on both sides, but it doesn't bother me, i didn't cut it off

I'm cool with it, the label is so compact unlike some that end up making a hole in the scarf, I can live with it

Thanks both!

The bag in the listing is authentic, IMO :flowers:
It is, or rather was actually called the Seamless Tote.
Yes, it is Ebano and it's hard to tell if it's the lighting or the angle of the photos or what, but it looks faded to me. Again, hard to say but the interior BV patch of leather more accurately reflects the Ebano colour. You could ask the seller for pictures taken in natural light if that's important to you. The price is really good so a refresh/spa at Modern Leather would be worth it, IMO.
*I'm only saying this because you specifically asked to confirm the colour of the bag. There was some mention of not giving our opinion on condition so @jburgh can modify this message as she sees fit. :smile:

This one is consuming me. I have catalogs back to 2006, and I cannot find anything in this color that 1. has the sfumato look from the wiped on black/grey, dye and 2. that has patent handles. Unless, I can see the white authenticity tag, I would go back to RealReal and ask them for proof of authenticity. People do have special order Cabats made, but I just don't know.

Thanks, I emailed them. I'll keep you posted if they have any information.
The leather treatment is so unique and BV-like that I thought it had to be authentic, but I agree, I've never seen one like this (patent handles) and I have been going through a lot of BV threads. I will say that it is nice quality, lightweight and great condition. It also came with 2 paper cards but they really say nothing, anyone could throw those in.
