Hello, I'm interested in this knot but the deal seems too good to be true (thou there's one tear). Any luck for me ?

Hi, just wanna share with you that with of your assistance, I got the wallet. And this is actually my very first Bottega Veneta!
Just wanna check if u you have any idea which series or year this design was from? Cause I was looking around the net andi cannot seem to find much information on this (which is also one of the main reason that brought me to this thread :wave:

).

You know that's a great photo - I'm going to have to refer this one to @V0N1B2 - I've never seen this before, and I am a big fan of that year... so let's wait for her thoughts. :flowers:

I just purchased this bag and I will upload all the pictures for authentication once received. I was wondering if in the meantime, you could tell me if you’ve ever seen this style before? It’s apparently snake skin.

Thank you

V0N1B2 said:
Yes. It's a Limited Edition bag from somewhere around 2005-2007?

@V0N1B2 and @indiaink thank you both so much for looking at it. I am so excited as it’s my first exotic skin bag. The leather is in fantastic condition. The hardware is pretty tarnished. I now need to figure out if if there is anything I can do about it.

Hello and Happy New Years Everyone! :smile:

I recently purchased the Arco 33 (I believe it's the 33 but I could be wrong) from TJ Maxx (I tried my best to authenticate it in person but it's hard to not look suspicious when the employee is watching you). I am struggling to be 1000% sure that this is authentic but it did come with a care card and serial number within the interior pocket of the bag. The serial number reads "B08923725Q"
Can someone please take a look and let me know if it's authentic or not so I can decide whether to keep or return?
Thank you!
