Authenticate This BOTTEGA VENETA

[ievuxee]

Hi. I have bought this Mini Jodie off a private seller and now am thinking whether it is authentic.. it seems all good, but the leather seems to be more dull than the one ive seen online?

Hi there,
Have been lurking for a while, trying to learn more about this wonderful brand.

Just bought a large (8.5” x 11”) BV Olimpia bag from Fashionphile. The leather is amazingly soft, and so far, I’ve had good luck with FP.

However, I cannot find any old pictures from the BV website of the large black Olimpia bags with the antique dark gold chain, only bright gold. Also, this came without a mirror or dustbag. Is that a red flag?

Thank you very much for any information you can give me.

The Nero Larg Olimpia is authentic, IMO.
Re antique gold chain: that was Tomas Maier's era of Bottega. The season he left and Daniel Lee took over, the hardware was changed to shiny gold and shiny silver.
Re mirror and dustbag: I can only assume whoever sold it to fashionphile lost the mirror and dustbag.

Thank you very much, V0N1B2

I don’t have much experience with BV, but this bag has got me hooked! So beautifully well-made and the leather is just amazing.

Thanks for such quick reply! Any pointers as to why? What gives it out?

Hello, I purchased this Mona Lisa Campana a while back on eBay, and had the listing authenticated here. It just occurred to me that I should have the actual bag authenticated as well, just in case

Thank you so much for your time and help, really appreciate this.

The Medium Campana you received from the seller is authentic, IMO
You should take it to a BV boutique and have them definitively ID the colour for you.

Thank you so much! No worries about the colour. I’ll take it to the boutique to verify. I just wanted to make sure that the bag I received is the same one that was posted on eBay, to be on the safe side Thanks again!

Dear indiaink, please could you assist to authenticate this bag.
Thanks very much in advance.

Please could someone authenticate this for me - bought from a private seller who does her own authentication.
I couldn't really find pictures of this same model anywhere. Thanks very much!

Hi

I have not used this site so I am not sure where I should be posting my request fie authentication. I bought this bag and need to know whether its genuine at all please as there is no serial number.
