Hello everyone. I'm about to purchase my 1st bottega bag.
I'm eyeing this bag from a reseller. I can tell it's a cassette shoulder bag but i have never seen this model.
All the cassette bag on their website don't have brand name stiches on the strap like this one.
And for this model (men's) usually the magnet button is hidden behind the leather.
Can anyone help authenticate or ID this for me please? Thanks in advance!!!

The Medium Belly Veneta in (probably?) Chene from Spring 2011 is authentic, IMO.

Thanks very much.

The seller told me that "we named it semi gold hardware because basically it is not 100% shiny but kind of semi matte finish, so that clients will understand in a good way, sometimes they think it has been scratched to matte but is is actually not".

I tried comparing hardware from the BV website, but I couldn't see any with a "semi matte finish", they all looked pretty shiny (and also looked like a darker gold). Do you think the seller is having me on? Re-attaching the picture of the hardware + also the picture of the receipt.

Thank you again in advance!

There have been so many inconsistencies with the zippers on these bags. The gold zippers on some Jodies looked like they had been heavily scratched. Some were shiny. Some weren’t.
Have you checked out the Jodie thread? Hundreds of photos of what authentic zippers should look like. https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/bottega-veneta-jodie-bag.1024592/
Receipts, dust bags, boxes, bags and cards mean nothing - all items are heavily faked.

Hello! Hopefully this is my last authentication requestion for a while :) I just bought this bag off fashionphile. Does someone mind checking if it's authentic? Also, just curious if someone could tell me approximately what year it was made? (It doesn't have a year on the serial tag.)IMG_2508.jpegIMG_2509.jpegIMG_2510.jpegIMG_2511.jpegIMG_2512.jpegIMG_2513.jpegIMG_2516.jpegIMG_2517.jpegIMG_2518.jpegIMG_2519.jpeg
