IMO this is authentic
I hope you know that it is a large cabat
The plate says either 113/750 or 118/750
Minis were produced in limited editions
Of 250
Medium in limited quantity of 500
Large in limited quantity of 750
From the first picture I thought it was a mini but the brass plate says otherwise
Enjoy it

Could someone authenticate this for me? The leather is very soft like the wallet I bought in store but want to make sure!

I just bought a small messenger bad pre-loved - a great deal. Now I worry it might be a fake, because I can not find the little label inside. Can you help me?View attachment 3622013View attachment 3622014

Pictures required for authentication are detailed in the first post on page one of this thread.
Heat stamp, tags, zippers, hardware, front, back, sides.....

I have just received the below cabat which has been authenticated in post 4021 but I have just realised that it is the medium size and not the large one so I am not 100% sure if it is authentic :doh: Please help me :heart:

This is the same bag as the listing? I do not authenticate Cabats. Perhaps someone else can jump in for you.

Hi Von1bs, and sorry, the problem is I can not find the label! The heat stamp is almost not there and har to photograph. Do you know where the label would usually be in this model?IMG_1488561977.348499.jpgIMG_1488561990.390199.jpgIMG_1488562002.735792.jpgIMG_1488562014.368136.jpgIMG_1488562024.786386.jpg

Should be a butterfly for this bag I think?
Based on that and the missing tag, I'd say return it and ALWAYS authenticate before you buy :flowers:

Thank you for your help.

I bought from Vestiaire Collective, and they promise to authenticate - in fact they ask for quite a nice commission for doing just that. Now I just hope they will listen to me, and that I will get my money back.

But thank you again - I would not have thought to look at the backside of the zippers without you [emoji4]

I'm of no help.
I don't keep a record of what colours were released and in which season.
I don't keep a record of when the dimensions of the Cabat changed.
I don't keep a record of what years the tag was in the pouch instead of the bag.
I don't keep a record of how many were made in each size each season.
I don't keep a record of when they inscribed the season on the plate.
I don't keep a record of what metal the plates used for which year/season/colour.
etc. etc.
For the (probably) number one faked bag in the BV lineup, I think it's imperative to know all of that before giving an opinion of authenticity, and I just don't.
They other girls here might, so perhaps they can help you.
