Thank you for the quick response and background info too!The Intagli Large Veneta in Ebano is authentic, IMO. This was the “special seasonal” Veneta done for Resort/Cruise 2007
Hi, looking to authenticate this vintage bottega from the real real
says its 80's vintage intrecciato clutch
the label is gold hardware inside and the bottega veneta font looks a bit different from the logo/label now.
I do not see a tag or serial number and the leather is quite soft but the lining feels bit more synthetic (especially where there is a hole).
Listing here and more detailed pics attached.

Item Name: Intrecciato Bella or Garda Tote (I think?)
Seller name or ID: Savers thrift store

Comments: I'm assuming this is fake, but it was $12 with a 30% off coupon at the thrift store so I went ahead and bought it. I've never been near a Bottega but I would guess the uneven stitching and screws securing the hardware wouldn't be seen in an authentic bag. The area where the braiding on the straps ends and the back is sewn on also seems off compared to pictures I've seen of real bags. There is also no authenticity tag anywhere to be seen - there is an area on the bottom lining where the style of stitching changes, so I thought I would check and see if there was the smallest of chances that a tag might've been there and the bag was repaired. Thank you!

Could I see a better photo of the metal zipper pull, please. And, to verify, you found no tags sewn into the upper seam inside the zippered pocket, no remnants?

Hi all! Would love some help authenticating this. I’ve been scouring ebay for an Intrecciato Hobo for months now and I’m pulling the trigger but I have reservations.
It used to be buying from Japanese sellers was a no-brainer but I’ve heard that it’s no longer the case. I’ve also noticed a number of BV ebay listings with the same photos and all from Japan so now I’m wary.
I’d be grateful for any help with authenticating this!

Authentic. From what I understand about the Japanese sellers - many have combined storage space so will use each other's photos, if that makes sense? I have a seller I've bought from many times and he explained it that way. Still, always get your BV authenticated first.
Thank you so much for authenticating!Authentic. From what I understand about the Japanese sellers - many have combined storage space so will use each other's photos, if that makes sense?

That’s also a useful tip to know and makes me feel much better about purchasing.
On a related note, I’m a bit shocked that these vintage pieces are going for as much as they are - I was expecting them to still be $100-150 less than their listed price
Hi i need help with these 2 mini Jodie bags are they both authentic?

The photos are inadequate. Please read the first post in this thread for pictured needed.
I can tell even from the few pictures shown of the red bag that it is not authentic.
