Authenticate This BOTTEGA VENETA

[jasz130]

Your link doesn't go to a particular bag. Please see the first post in this thread for the photos and information we need.

Thank you for your response! Turns out Tradesy actually canceled my purchase and deleted the listing due to them not being able to verify the item. I managed to save the photos the seller posted in case if it is authentic and they relist.

I've always purchased designer items from the stores and each time I try to take a chance at buying it secondhand, I end up with a fake no matter how much research I try to do. I never seem to have a good experience with these sites when it comes to buying - Poshmark, Tradesy, etc. It's really discouraging.

Not authentic. You were very lucky Tradesy caught this. Remember: Always get items authenticated before purchasing.

Thank you! I definitely am fortunate in this case. The seller was selling it for about $1400 less than retail price (she claimed that she no longer needed the item) so I wanted to purchase before someone else got it since it was such a good deal. I guess from now on, I should just take that chance and wait for authentication first.

Hello. Could someone help me authenticate this Bottega Veneta Campana Hobo Bag from a private seller? Thank you!

I would need to see photos of the white authenticity label sewn into the seam of the zipper pocket for confirmation, but as of now, there are several markers indicating this is not authentic.

Hi, hoping you could help me with this mini bag authentication. The seller says it does not have the cross body strap or side strings that the new season mini pouch has, which is making me leery..thank you!!

Just a comment re the strap: I am 90 percent sure the initial release of this woven pouch did not have the strap. It was purely a clutch. I believe the colors available were Mist and Nero. So just because it doesn’t have the strap, doesn’t make it a replica. I defer to @indiaink for all other signs of authenticity.

@sosti, could you ask the seller for a photo of the heat stamp, please... depending on that, I may change my opinion. There were not many woven mini pouches made without straps... This may be a very early one; I need to see that embossing...
