Would appreciate some help from you lovely folks on this one. Is there auth? Also, is it the newer TM-era bag? Thank you

It is authentic, in the now-discontinued color "Ebano", one of the copyrighted colors of Bottega Veneta. This is not a new bag, but is a style created under the former creative director Tomas Maier in the early 2000s

For future reference, please refer to the first post in this thread for photos we need to authenticate; luckily this eBay seller provided all the photos needed.

Hi there, I’m hoping I’m doing this correctly. I found this bag on EBay from a seller in Japan.

…is it the newer TM-era bag? Thank you

As India pointed out, it’s the older version of the veneta hobo. BV redesigned the bag a bit in 2016-17 I believe. You’re looking at the original veneta hobo.

This is also a medium and if you do a search for ‘medium veneta hobo’ you’ll read its considered fairly small with most people opting for the large and using a medium for a more evening bag look.

One final comment, I have found that BV hobos with the light suede interior tend to be super soft. These bags will feature gold hardware as opposed to the Brunito hardware and a knot zip pull as opposed to the tab. Re this bag in particular, the Ebano color is more a milk chocolate as opposed to a dark chocolate. For me, the lighter interior is something I look for because I think the leather was lovelier back then.

Wow, thanks for your insights! I've been wavering between a small jodie and one of the TM-era hobo bags; this one seems to be in great condition, and I like a rather small bag as I am 5"2. )

Hello— I am wondering if any of you experts can give your valued opinion on this vintage Bottega Veneta intrecciato shoulder bag I recently acquired. It has the feel of quality lambskin leather, but I have never seen a logo plate like this without the ‘Made in Italy’ inscription or a zipper pull/brand like this. There are no other identifying marks or tags anywhere inside that I can see, and the buckle and other hardware has no engraving—magnetic snap is unmarked as well. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Something about this doesn’t look quite right - I will tag @septembersiren and see if she can offer her thoughts, as she worked for BV.

The Nodini Messenger is authentic, IMO
Hard to pinpoint a colour - it looks very worn, but if I had to guess I'd say New Light Gray from 2014.

Ideally, I'd like to see the heatstamp before confirming, but it looks like an authentic Medium Veneta in Espresso.
BTW: the listing states it is padded intrecciato (which it is not), and unlined (which it also is not)
