Can someone please identify this bag (got it from a pawn shop). It smells very much like old cigarettes so I have to do something about that.

It's supposed to be the medium size. Comes with a mirror.

It doesn’t has as a buttery feel as another bottega I have in the same model and the weight is somewhat lighter. As a reference I put photos with a pink/mauve bag and you can see difference between slouchiness. The bag feels drier also. If authentic can I do something to make it a bit softer?

I have no reason to doubt the authenticity of this Ebano? Espresso? Veneta from 2012-2013.
As to why it's not as soft.... what year is your other bag? How many times has it been used? How many times has the bag pictured been used? Was it stored away and used a handful of times?
Unfortunately, this is one of the risks buying from the pre-loved market. You never really know what you're getting.
Enjoy your new Veneta :flowers:

Could someone tell me if this is authentic? The real real says it is, but the printing of the logo inside is not clear. Also it’s really dented, like someone squeezed it too hard. Not sure how it got that way because it’s a hard case.

I prefer not to authenticate Knots, they are far too easy to replicate and besides the Cabat, the most faked Bottega Veneta style. As there are only two markers of authenticity on a Knot as opposed to 5 or more markers of other styles, I don't feel comfortable making a call on on this one.
Perhaps one of the other ladies with a deep knowledge of Knots can help here.
Sorry :flowers:

I don’t know if I’d call my knowledge “deep,” but I’ve both owned and handled more than a few Knots over the years. Without seeing it in person, it’s hard to make a proclamation on its authenticity, but I’d return it if I could—whether real or fake—because of the obvious defect. For what it’s worth, I cannot imagine a genuine Knot being susceptible to this kind of deformity. Even it were possible, there are a few other details that would give me serious pause about the authenticity of this one.

Knots are really not my area of expretise, but I am confident that this is authentic.
I don't know what year it's from - but I think it's somewhere around 2003-2004?
I know that this particular Knot was included in the Knot Retrospective and it does have an actual name.
@jburgh and @Love Of My Life have much more extensive knowledge on Knots, maybe they can assist. :flowers:

Great, thank you! I have not ever purchased a BV bag so i am very new to the brand, but it would seem difficult to replicate the laser cut leather, not a good pick for counterfeiting i would think....thank u so much for your help :flowers:

Thank you so much! I'm thinking about rehoming it though :smile: I don't need two. Would you be able to help me identify what colour my other Bottega is? It looks like brownish mauve kind of colour..46045867-560C-4DF5-A1E2-88FAF4CEDDA2.JPGIMG_1350.PNGSkärmavbild 2019-09-24 kl. 12.54.07.png

I'm sorry I didn't get to this listing before it ended.
Ideally, I'd like to see all relevant photos (heatstamp, zippers, interior shots etc) before making a decision, but from the ones posted I would say this is an authentic Ebano Paillettes Hobo from Fall 2019 :flowers:
