I have purchased from this seller and her items are always authentic. I think she's a member of tPF too. I definitely suggest sending a note to her and asking about this anomaly. It's not gone over well when we judge a tPFer's item not authentic without giving them a chance to respond, so let's see what she says. I'm happy to send a note to inquire.

Well said. I, too, have purchased from this seller before. Let's see what she knows.

The missing L is suspicious to me. @septembersiren, do you think something like that would get through BV quality control?

Although there are many indicators that this is real
I don't see it getting past quality control with a missing L
The only way to make sure this is real is to have. SA run the serial # through the computer

One major reason for my ask is that the "L" is missing from Limited Edition on the plaque. Any thoughts here are appreciated. Thanks.

Dear bagflend13, Jburgh, Septembersiren, grietje, Indiaink and fellow TPFers,

I am the owner of this Cabat who consign this bag to bvbags, I am contacting BV now to solve this issue, I will keep the people here updated and upload any document related to this bag.

Talking about quality control, there is a thread talking about a Cabat missing the plate.

I am sorry for the trouble this bag bring to bvbags, I will keep all the people here updated.

Item Name: Botegga Veneta Cufflinks In Original Box
Listing number: 252822439457
Seller name or ID: mink_autumn89
Working Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Botegga-Veneta-Cufflinks-In-Original-Box-/252822439457?ssPageName=ADME:X:RRNTB:US:3160&nma=true&si=mCvVLjPphSNir2ovScvLWndvUaQ%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
Comments:
Do you do cufflinks? I thought this was an unusual style for BV but I snagged this anyway because of they were cutesy and for the price (and I thought this was somehow some sort of stonework). Sometimes I unfortunately leap before I look.

I received them and they do not appear to be high quality to my eyes, they have no cards that came with this to indicate provenance and no stamping of any kind on the back-- all of which made me have some serious doubts. I reached out to the seller and she seems to be in earnest about their authenticity, but I'm not familiar enough with their BV or their men's accessories to be sure one way or the other myself. Is it unusual?

I have never seen anything like these
The box they are in doesn't look like BV
BV would have stamped them with either a Faralle (butterfly) or BV initials
Also they would be marked with something to indicate what kind of metal they are
I.e. Sterling Silver
14 k or 18 k gold

I can't authenticate these

Thank you all so much. She did indicate that the quality control on the Limited Edition plaques isn't always the best. And agree that everything else looks right on. Any guidance on how I might be able to have the serial number run to have this validated? I can ask for that. Thanks again.

Yes, I assumed there would be anything like that even though it was not photographed. When there was nothing of the sort I thought it was highly irregular. (Well, you know what they about assuming! :P)

Thank you so so much for the prompt & thorough response.

Contact a BV store and ask if they can run the serial number for you. You'll give them the number on the white tag. The owner has done this and you can double check yourself to feel absolutely sure. It's helpful if you have a relationship with an SA.
