Authenticate This BOTTEGA VENETA

[indiaink]

Hello, I was interested in this cinnabar padded cassette bag, but a couple things may not seem right. The metal lock plate does not have that cupped curve at the pinnacle of the depressed part of the plate (below the BV insignia). The authentication tag looks like fabric, not the papery labels that I have seen in other BV bags. Other features, like the stitching and stamps were looking look to me. If anyone can help, please let me know. I'm trying to post photos. Thanks!

Thank you I had trouble downloading a set of photos but did not think the tag was authentic. Is BV continuing to use only the paper like tags (this one looks like fabric) that I see in many authentic BV? Also, on the the cassette bags do all the metal plates feature a cupped curve at the pinnacle of the depressed part of the plate (below the BV insignia). I've seen some on listed bags with undefined curve like in photo below coming from this same bag above. Thank you!

Since Bottega Veneta just appointed a new creative director, we have no way to know what changes may be made at this time. Should you find another bag you’re interested in, please feel free to get it authenticated here with the requested photos.

Hello again,
I saw this BV padded cassette bag. I asked the seller for photos of the authencity tag and a better view of metal lock plate (it still has the plastic covering over it. The area around the heat stamp look a little elevated/padded. The ebay link shows several photos. Please let me know what you think. Thanks very much!

Hello!
Can I get help authenticating this Lauren clutch? It is listed as "gun metallic" but it looks non-metallic to me?
Thank you so much for your time and help!

Item name: Bottega Veneta Clutch Bag Intrecciato 481815 Gun Metallic Leather Ladies
Seller: elady
Working link: https://mall.elady.com/item/title/B...ato-481815-Gun-Metallic-Leather-Ladies-GZryvh

Honestly, it’s such a great price I would probably take the chance (but that’s just me). I thought eLady was reputable? If I knew I would be able to return easily and get a full refund if it did turn out not to be authentic, then I would probably jump on it. But again, that’s me. I don’t feel like I can ask you to do the same because I wouldn’t want to be held responsible (in whatever way) telling you to go for it and take the chance. Would a return be fairly straightforward?
I will say that I don’t think I have seen a fake Lauren, and although the plaque is a little bit out of focus, it looks consistent with an authentic one.
Sorry I can’t be of more help

I ended up buying the bag! It just arrived. It has been a long time since my heart skipped a bit when I opened a package containing a purse! IT IS BEAUTIFUL (if authentic of course!) and it looks brand new! Came with dust bag, mirror and paperwork. And I think it is Antique Silver, which makes me so, so happy. Thank you so much for authenticating it for me.

Thank you for the love @indiaink. Can I assume it is authentic? I want to load her up even if my only trip today is to Target

Oooh nice find dolali
I’m glad you decided to risk it. It’s authentic, IMO and the subtle sheen makes me think it’s Antique Silver from…2018?

Thank you so, so much @V0N1B2! Sharing your thoughts about this Lauren helped me a lot. It does have a metallic "feel" in person, so thank you for ID'ing color too!

I can't believe I finally own the Lauren, in such a beautiful color and like new condition!

Thank you again

Hello authenticators!
Please help me authenticate the bv intrecciatto mini pouch in porridge. My room has yellow lighting so the bag might look more yellow than it actually is. The color is closer to the third photo with the bv tag. I've been trying to authenticate myself by going through the old posts but I thought it would be wiser to just ask someone who has the knowledge . I bought it from a local luxury bag reseller.
I stuffed the bag with socks so that it does not lose shape but it actually made creases inside the bag...
Thank you so much for your help in advance!!

The Medium Campana is authentic, IMO.
I think it’s probably Camel from 2016. It doesn’t quite look like Chene in your photos. One of the pictures looks like Sand/New Sand but you know BV
I think Chene was a little richer colour. I know a lot of times the interior zipper of the pocket was plain, but does yours have an imprint, and if so then what? (Can pinpoint a date range)

I really don’t like authenticating Daniel Lee items but I see no red flags with this. The photos provided show an authentic pouch, IMO

Okay, thanks for your opinion @V0N1B2 !!
