Hi PF! If you could please authenticate this Bottega medium hobo. Feels buttery soft. It’s vintage but wondered if the splitting showing fabric is normal?
The Ebano Medium Veneta is authentic, IMO. The splitting at the bottom is one of the reasons Bottega changed the design of the bag in 2015-ish.
The bag pictured above is probably about 15+ years old so it would be normal it would show some wear.
Many thanks @V0N1B2. I appreciate you taking a look and weighing in. She's a beauty and I'm sure I could get that one spot fixed up but I suspected she was older than 10 yrs. Really appreciate the help! The bag is from a shop called Pickled Vintage BTW. First time purchase from them so you can understand my double checkingThe Ebano Medium Veneta is authentic, IMO.

Hi BV Authenticators,
Request your help in authenticating this BV bag. I got these pictures from the seller; I have a feeling that the bag is authentic but the longer shoulder strap is not... would be great to get your expert opinion on this.
Thank you!

Like the other bag (quoted above) posted back in September, another scary fake.
This “Iron Bag” is not authentic, IMO. Sorry.
Hi V0N, just out of curiosity - does this bag actually exist? I've been seeing so many designs of it, in so many colors too
thank you!Yes, a similar style was made by BV. There was the “Iron Bag” which came in two sizes, and then around 2018-ish, it was redesigned and given a new name - The Ciambrino. It had a fixed shoulder strap though, instead of it being a flip attachment. However, none of the iterations I’m my memory, also had a longer strap like the ones you postedHi V0N, just out of curiosity - does this bag actually exist?

Hi @V0N1B2, thanks for sharing your expert opinion on my post. Honestly I love the look of the iron bag which is why I have been looking for one in the preloved market. Trying to source it where I am to avoid extra taxes even buying preloved outside the country. I keep wishing this iteration of this bag with extra strap is real. The detachable longer strap can be attach to the short strap so the bag can be worn 3 ways(short shoulder bag, long shoulder bag, crossbody).Yes, a similar style was made by BV.

There seem to be a lot of older Ebano Venetas on the resale sites lately.
I don’t usually comment on price, but that bag (if authentic) is about he same price as it was brand new 15 years ago. Who said BV doesn’t hold their value
