The Garda Bag is authentic, IMO
Thank you so much! Is there anyway to tell the year of the bag from the 1 line authenticity tag/ serial number? Would love to know how old it is?

From what I’ve researched online it seems there is an older Gardner and a newer model and I believe mine is the older. But I’m no expert 🤣.

Thank you so much!
 
Hello! I've been coveting this Cabat for ages, and just spotted it on a resale site. Would someone be able to help authenticate? Many thanks in advance.

It’s from somewhere between Fall 2014 and 2019

Hi all! Hoping someone can help a girl out with whether to avoid buying this bag. It’s pre 2000’s so no serial number but seller is of course insistent it’s legit. I have my doubts.
Could anyone please help? Scared to lose money on a fake

Hi everyone, I recently acquired a Men's Bottega Veneta Medium Padded Tech Cassette; which was eBay authenticated; but I just wanted to confirm with the experts here, the only flags I had was the absence of the Bottega Veneta branding/leather panel on the bottom edge of the bag on the same side as the hook for the extra pouch; and the reduced puffiness of the bag compared to others I have seen - though this may be because it has been used. I'm not sure whether this is significant - but an authentication serial number and tag is in the additional pouch, but not in the original bag.

Photos have been attached of the original receipt provided (with a signature blurred), and photos of the item. It would seem the bag was originally purchased at the Sydney, Australia store (where I am based) in 2021.

Many thanks for everyone's assistance!! :smile:

I can’t help with this item, unfortunately. I don’t know if the Padded Tech Cassette had an accessory pouch. All I can say is that the authenticity tag sewn into the accessory belongs to an authentic BV product.

i see! is there a database or a way to enter the serial number to confirm authenticity for BV products? or is this largely based on the material of the tag, the logo and the font of the letters and numbers themselves?
 
Hello. New and needing some help. Many thanks!

Hi, Could you please help me out if this listing seems authentic? It’s a local resale site, seller, of course, insists he personally purchased the bag: https://olx.bg/d/ad/namalenie-500lv-veneta-bottega-veneta-botega-CID655-ID6ruQ2.html
Also, if real, which model and year would that be?

Thank you for your time, efforts and kindness in helping out!
