Seller replied that there is no remnant of any label in the zipped pocket. Is it possible because it is a vintage piece(metal label of bottega?
QUOTE="indiaink, post: 31361515, member: 53168"]There will be a label inside the zippered pocket. It may have been removed because it got in the way of the zipper, but there should be, even then, a remnant. Regardless, ask your seller for a photo of the front and back of that label. I would also like to see photos of the zipper pull(s), please.[/QUOTE]

I need a photo of the zipper pull on the zipper pocket inside the bag, as well -
@septembersiren, what do you think? I am not aware of any older BV bag being made without some sort of label in addition to that metal plaque. Here is kelly's original authentication request: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/authenticate-this-bottega-veneta.851313/page-284#post-31361429

I have never seen this bag before
IMO it looks like a men's messenger
More than a woman's bag
I don't recall any vintage bags without authenticity tags
It could have been removed IDK
Everything about it looks good but once again IDK

Thanks, SS. @kellyguo, get us that photo of the zipper pull, and will really help us make the final decision. There are other Bottega Veneta bucket bags on eBay right now similar to this one, but they don't have that metal piece on the buckle on the strap. That's concerning to me.
Hello, can I please have this bag authenticated? I believe it is an older version of the 'Iron' pouch but there are a few things which look a bit off?
Thank you in advance.
Thank you in advance.

Hello, can I please get this bag authenticated please? I feel quite confident it is authentic but would appreciate an opinion from the purse forum authenticators please.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

This is an older version of the iron bag
I think it is authentic but I would wait for someone else to chime in
I myself have never seen the Bottega Veneta stamped on the outside of the bag
Everything else is consistent with the iron bag
Reason for canvas lining is that the iron bag is or was considered a large make up bag
This is an authentic near-vintage bag. There are several similar (but newer) ones on eBay, which have the same details. http://www.ebay.com/itm/SmashinPinc...982386?hash=item3f7d6924f2:g:T6QAAOSwq1JZJxiM and http://www.ebay.com/itm/Authentic-B...679072?hash=item41c5c1af20:g:JRkAAOSw42JZJGLx are two examples.

Excellent! Thank you very much. Are you able to tell me more about the bag such as when it was made?
Thank you septembersiren and indiaink! What do you classify as near-vintage? Do you have any recommendations for cleaning up the leather from the dirt marks?
The tag would have the date on it but it is sewn under the seam
It was manufactured before 2010 and I have to dig out my color codes to tell yo the name of the color
Sorry I found a lot of stuff but not that color code
I am sure Von will know it

The colour is most likely "Rose" but I can't say that with 100% certainty since those older authenticity tags didn't have an assigned number for a colour - only two or three letters indicating the abbreviation of the colour name.
I want to say the item is from around 2000 give or take 2-3 years but I can't confirm that until I get home. The info is on my iPad.
