Authenticate This BOTTEGA VENETA

Hi authenticators! This bag was purchased from a local consignment shop.

A couple of things that looked odd to me:
1. The leather is stiffer than expected ( might just be in newer condition)
2. The wear/ threading on the outer zip pull and the wear on the opening of the bag
3. The inner/pocket zip is not stamped

Please let me know if you think it’s authentic or if more photos are needed.

Thank you!!

Hello authenticators,
I hope you can help me with authenticating this Mini Cassette Camera Bag. I bought it from Vestiare with their authenticating service but just found awful reviews on them so I am very nervous at the moment.
I have not received the bag so can only share the pictures seller provided as below.
Thank you

The Chain Knot in Baccara Rose from Fall 2018 is authentic, IMO :flowers:

These bags are impossible to authenticate, unfortunately. Due to just having a heatstamp inside, there are no other markers of authenticity. I think (don’t quote me on this) that there is an RFID chip in that piece of leather with the BV imprint. Only BV can read that. Sorry :flowers:

The Large Nero Veneta from 2010 looks authentic to me. The trim is quite worn, even for a bag this age. Some Venetas didn’t have matching riri zippers on the inside pocket, but it is also possible that it was replaced at some point. :flowers:

Hi, I ordered this bag from TheRealReal as sort of a project. I could tell it wasn’t in great shape and they don’t have a ton of pics on there so a bit of a gamble. But now that it’s here it’s looking very sus.

There is no fabric tag inside, I have turned the whole thing inside out including the pocket.

Anyone can confirm this is not legit before I try to get my money back?

The bag pictured is authentic, IMO. Vintage is not my forté, so I can’t give you much information, other than this is at least 30 years old. :flowers:
