Hi all,
I have never posted in this forum and I hope I have done it correctly. Please kindly authenticate this bv cosmetic case.
It belongs to a friend's friend and she is offering to sell it to me. I am not sure if it is real. It looks real but it is rude to ask therefore I seek help here.
Thanks heaps.

Hi, and welcome :flowers:
The Intrecciato Profondo Nappa Cosmetic Case in Corot from Spring 2013* is authentic, IMO :smile:

*or Cruise/Resort 2012 - I can't remember offhand.

Hello,
I bought this aroma 2,5 years ago and wanted to sell on Ebay. Now the buyer is claiming it would be a fake. Could you please help me out here - I am really desperate.
Thanks a lot!

What is it about the bag that your buyer thinks is fake?
My opinion and the opinions of everyone else here mean nothing to eBay and PayPal. Your buyer should post here for an opinion on authenticity, but I think it's a really good idea to always pay for a third-party professional authentication and include it in your listing. It gives buyers peace of mind and hopefully helps honest sellers from having to deal with claims of inauthenticity. I have never used authenticate4u but I hear they are good at what they do.
I don't see any red flags regarding this Roma, but as I wrote above, my opinion is just that.

Thanks a lot for your advice.
She told me that the serial number wouldn't usually be written in this way.

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:

Thanks Von! The seller accepted my best offer (it was such a good deal!) and it arrived this weekend. It is beautiful and perfectly slouchy and the color is true, the apparent fading was definitely from the light in the listing. Thanks for your help again :)

I guess your buyer is unfamiliar with the authenticity tags BV has been using for the last five years.
I don't know what the eBay situation is, if she has returned the bag or filed a claim or whatever, but I'm pretty sure @BeenBurned can give you some good advice if you post over in the eBay subforum. Good Luck :flowers:

Authentic, from the Cruise 2012/13 collection. It is of the treatment known as "Intrecciato Profondo". Lovely piece!

Thank you V0N1B2 and indiaink for your quick replies!

I just googled using the info you girls gave me and find the bag on bv official site.

However the official site has the bag inner layer as brownish/beige but my photo's bag inner layer is grey?

Don't be concerned about the interior cotton lining colour. It's nothing to worry about and definitely not a sign of a counterfeit (well for this item at least).
Enjoy your new-to-you cosmetic case. :flowers:

Ladies,

Can you take a look at this Ferro Sloane for me? Do you think a spa treatment would help with the color fading?

Just to confirm: Ferro Sloane came in Nappa Umbria but not light calf, correct?

Thanks.

I think this is authentic
Yes it is Nappa Umbria
I don't see fading in the pictures
Nappa Umbria gives a light dark effect from the treatment of the leather
I think all bags benefit from a spa treatment
It revives the leather spruces up the lining and will make feel new to you
Good luck
Beautiful bag
