Authenticate This BOTTEGA VENETA

[Koshechka007]

Hi I am new here, a friend really recommended this forum. I have purchased BV padded cassette in fondante from Ebay Authenticate Eastvaleluxe and really worried that it is a super fake.

Item Name: BV Padded Cassette in Fondante

Seller name or ID: Eastvaleluxe (Ebay Authenticate)

Working Link to pictures: pictures attached

Comments: Alignment looks off to me, and also there is no BV engraving on a zipperhead and a strap buckle. Ebay Authenticate guarantied it is authentic and I just authenticated it with ******************, who said it is authentic too, however I am still very unsure. Attaching the pictures, let me know what do you think and if you need more pictures.

I am unable to authenticate any Daniel Lee era bags just due to the inconsistencies with them. Many of them have already changed details that make it difficult. Some bags have engraving on zippers, while the same bag in a different co,our or size may. It - its maddening. I don't have enough experience with these newer items to offer an informed opinion. Hopefully someone else who has seen and/or purchased this bag directly from a BV boutique will be able to chime in and help. I didn't see an interior heatstamp on this bag, it should be imprinted on the interior flap. Unless this is something that has once again been changed from one season to another and is found on some bags but not others. Also, the authenticity tag... has the leather that it is sewn into been cut for some reason? The only way you can know for sure is to ask BV directly to run the tag and confirm it in fact belongs to a Fondente Padded Cassette bag.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help

Hi V0N1B2, thank you for the fast reply. Can you please send me a private message if possible on what makes you think its not authentic? As the seller (a store with 26 years experience with an in store authenticator) said that it is authentic but i want to make sure to not buying a fake item if its not authentic. Thanks again

It's my opinion that the authenticity tag is a total fake. It's just not right.
I would welcome another set of eyes to look at it though if you like.
This seller has previously sold fakes, as I checked out their completed/sold listings.
Fake Ebano Sloane here:

Fake Balenciaga City (confirmed by @muchstuff ) here:

I am not saying the seller is knowingly selling counterfeit items, I just think maybe their authenticator isn't as diligent as they should be. Having said that, I believe the other two Men's Bottega Veneta SLGs they have for sale are authentic, IMO

Yes, i see that as well before that the tag was the big give away. Ok, thanks again for your input. I have got the seller to cancel the order. They werent happy i said that it doesnt look authentic and still adamant that it is. Anyway, thanks again for everything

Not sure if the leather has been cut, but it was hand sewn in a very rough way, here is an additional picture. Thank you for your help and quick reply!

Hi everyone- it’s my first time doing this I’m posting for my cousin who has just bought this Bag. Please kindly authenticate with an estimate of age and colour if possible, much appreciated she’s so worried.

Hi,

I came across this preloved bag which seems to be in excellent condition but I have not seen this design before. I would be very grateful and much appreciate if you would authenticate this bag.

Thank you!

Good Day Authenticators,

Can you please help me know if this is authentic? It looks authentic to me. I love the color. Some of the seller's comments are troublesome.
TIA

This bag is before my time with Bottega Veneta. I don’t know if it had a name, but the colour I’m assuming from the code ELB might be Electric Blue. It has all the hallmarks of an authentic BV
If I had to guess I would say it’s from maybe the early to mid 1990s

Thank you!

The Drop Bag Is authentic, IMO , but as they’re sold only in BV outlets now, I can’t tell you the colour. It does look kind of like one of the colours from Spring 2012 or maybe it was Resort...
Plaster or Dakar? Something like that. Could be Dakar Buffalo leather.

I would love to see better (full) photos of both the authenticity tag and the plate before confirming, but so far it looks like an authentic Mini Cabat. I don’t know what colour it is, I assume it’s Cooper.
Condition? Well... it’s from 2005-ish so it’s got 15 years of wear on it

Thank you very much for taking the time to respond, very kind of you and much appreciated!
