Authenticate This BOTTEGA VENETA

danidach · Sep 22, 2022

HI does anyone know if newer bags still have serial numbers and CERTIFICATO DI ORIGINALITA or originality certified on them. I just bought a new mini cassette camera bag and I can't see anything other than bottega veneta made in Italy on there I'm not sure if im just missing it or if its not supposed to be there. I think I bought it from a reputable store Brown's so I think it should be ok but I'm doubting.myself

This item is not authentic, IMO. However, it is an extremely well-detailed fake. Scary, actually.

@V0N1B2 and @purplepod — the strap caught my attention. I have not known the Iron to have two straps. How’d that bag get two straps?

@grietje, not sure what this bag is really called... When I tried to search using Google Lens, the name that came up was Sloane..

Before Daniel Lee, BV didn’t name their bags. It was small shoulder bag, shoulder tote etc. Sales associates and BV fans came up with their own names — the Iron, being one of them because the bag looked a little like an old Iron.

@grietje thanks for that bit of info ❤️. BV newbie here.. Am just starting to appreciate the quality and workmanship of BV bags.

Hello all. I am always searching for Thomas Maier-era bags and was pleased to score a mint condition medium Veneta (the old "new" version with the puffy handle) from a very nice seller. I just wanted to do due diligence with authentication. Many thanks!

The Veneta is authentic, IMO :flowers:

I’ve been eyeing for this Tie bag from *******
They sell it quite cheap compare to the boutique. How do I know that if it is real?
Thanks in advance!

Hi there! Could someone please authenticate this for me? (This is my first time posting here, so please if I am doing it wrong, please let me know.)

Item: Light Calf Intrecciato Small Roma Black
Seller: Fashionphile
Working Link to Photos: https://www.fashionphile.com/p/bottega-veneta-light-calf-intrecciato-small-roma-black-1019709

I have also added additional photos of the tags because the website didn't really provide a good close up. Please also let me know if you need additional photos as well, as I just received the bag today from them.

Thank you so much in advance!

Hi! Any thoughts on authenticity of this Intrecciato flower cut out bag from TRR? I was waiting on Authenticate4U but no response yet.

Thank you :smile:
