Authenticate This BOTTEGA VENETA

[designerdesire]

The Bifold Wallet with Money Clip is authentic, IMO but it's not Ink.
If it looks very dark blue then it's probably Tourmaline.

got it! Thank you so much for helping me. My brother will be so happy.

Hello! My first experience with BV! I am trying to authenticate several fine handbags generously donated for resale to benefit two non-profits. We received this little red shoulder bag and I can't find anything like it. It is a bit worn, but in excellent condition. No authenticity tag as I've seen mentioned. I have no idea the age of the bag. Help appreciated!

Hi. Could someone help me authenticate this Bottega Veneta bag? This is from a private seller. Haven’t owned any Bottega’s before so I have a hard time self authenticating this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Vintage is not my forté, but this could be authentic. I would expect there would be an authenticity tag inside the zippered pocket if there is one. The style of the bag, zipper and style of metal plaque would make it probably from around 2000.

Without seeing the heatstamp, it's hard to confirm. I can tell you that the authenticity tag sewn into the seam is real, but whether the bag it's sewn into was made by BV in their factory in Italy or a factory in Guangzhou is another matter (see auth request directly below this).
The issues with authenticating Daniel Lee BV items is that all the markers of authenticity we used to go by are no longer used in making these newer bags. Also, with changing zippers and sizes/shapes/measurements, it makes it much harder to determine whether or not the item is authentic. It also makes it so much easier for good counterfeit bags to flood the market.

I think this is supposed to be a Nero Belly?
Some crafty individual has sewn a vintage authenticity tag into this fake bag. Not the first time we've seen this, unfortunately.
Sorry, no this is not authentic

Oh no too bad. Good thing I went with my gut and asked first before I purchased the bag. Thank you so much for your help.

There is a single inner zipper pocket, but no tag inside. Were serial number tags in BV bags before 2012? I have seen another bag of this style with a cell phone pocket on the other side of the interior, but it had suede lining and did have a tag.

Would anybody mind to please help authenticate this bag? I’ve seen frayed tags but not sure about this one? It’s rolled handle intrecciato hobo. Thank you!!

Welcome to TPF! I would suggest you repost with clear photos, these ones when you zoom in are blurred. Add also a photo of the entire bag, as well as any hardware, plus a pic of the back of the zipper head. Make sure your photos are right way up and facing the camera.

Thanks for such a quick reply and suggestions. The seller has not replied to my request for more information; I only asked about condition though. No pictures of flip side of the zipper. Hopefully these photos are better clarity. The second to last one I turned and it seems to have worsened it. Thanks!!
