Authenticate This BOTTEGA VENETA

[sasquaty]

Hoping to please get an opinion. Yes I purchased before checking which I should know better doing. Feeling like this is not authentic but wanted to reach out before returning. Just jot sure of a couple things and I’ve not seen this size but was so cute.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Oh wow!! Thank you oh so much! I’ve never seen one that size but loved it so much. Glad to know it is authentic.

Quick question, this one seems smaller than I’ve seen before, is that just how they were? Like it’s smaller than a medium but bigger than a mini if the that makes sense. Thank you!!

Yes - I’m not sure when they settled on the size of (Classic) Venetas that we know now (Medium, Large, Maxi, etc.) @V0N1B2 may know, but since this was an era before tPF time we may not ever know. I’ve seen these odd sizes on the resale market before, tho.

Thank you so much! It is in amazing condition, appears to never have been used it if so extremely minimally. I’m so glad it is authentic. At first I felt it was but then started second guessing myself. I truly appreciate your help.

Hello Authenticators,

Please help to authenticate this Bottega Veneta Mini Pouch, Brown colour. I bought from local reseller. Much appreciated

Hey PF!
Can some help me to authenticate this orange dream?

Model: BV belly hobo
Seller: private seller
Dust bag included but no receipt
Serial number: B02500469V

The bag feels quality and all details are correct from my POV, but it’s barely worn so I have an odd feeling.

The style number on the tag states it's a Medium Veneta (05388). The Lampo zippers were only used for maybe 2 years or so, around 2000-2002. I assume the modern (as we know them) Veneta sizes were standardized by Tomas Maier after 2002, but as Indiaink wrote, it was before most of our time with the brand.

Thank you very much for that information. I think I would have preferred it to be a bit bigger but kind of like that mine seems a bit more unique compared to what we normally have seen. It really is a beautiful bag.
