Aww crap! New style tags! :panic:
Yes, it's totally possible that it could be Quetsche. It's really hard to tell from the pictures. Two of them definitely look like Ebano and two of them look like Quetsche :pout:
Does it photograph more purple in the daylight?
It is such a chameleon!

Hi,

I purchased this Large Veneta from Fashionphile but not sure what color this is. It was sold as Ebano but when I compare to another Ebano bag I own, it's so different. It has a purple undertone. Could it possibly be Quetsche? I've never seen that color in person before.

Thanks for all of your help.View attachment 2920406View attachment 2920408View attachment 2920409View attachment 2920410

I think your lovely bag is Quetsche. This color changes in different lighting conditions. I have a Quetsche Cervo Hobo that is purple in most lighting. Cervo leather tends to show a brighter dye color. The veneta is made of Nappa leather. I've seen it IRL and it tends to show a brownish overtone. I have purchased from Fashionphile. Their bags are top quality but they may not get the BV color name. Hope this helps.

If I had to make a guess - which I am doing right now... I would say maybe FW07 or SS08.
Seasonal? Maybe.
I based that guess on a very similar bag posted on Malleries right now in a green colour. Doesn't have the croc trim though. That bag has a light blue lining which was also done for Marmo for that season, hence my guess of 2007/2008. The light blue lining was done in Marmo, the Olive colour as well as a Noce-ish colour.
I'm sure that doesn't help at all but it might be a place to start your search?

Thank you so much for your help! I wasn't expecting to receive this color. Purple is my favorite color so now I'm not sure if I should keep it! It is beautiful & such a chameleon of a color.

Anyone know what this Bottega Veneta Stingray bag's style name is? I would also love to know the year it was made. Any help is greatly appreciated! I tried emailing Bottega Veneta, they replied they only give information on current styles.

Can you ID this Cocker for me (year and color)?

Thanks a lot.

Well, I'm really stumped on this one. First off, Cockers have never had an authenticity tag with the two lines of numbers - only one - regardless of year of manufacture. So this always makes it difficult to pinpoint a year or season.
Because of the "substyle" of this Cocker (as in being full intrecciato, instead of on the pockets only), I was going to guess it as Spring/Summer 2006. There were some exotic Cockers done that season in the same style as the one you posted.
I don't know what colours were done in 2006, sorry. It is possible it could be a 2007 bag, but the only Blues I can think of that year might be a bit too light compared to the bag in your link. Maybe Cobalt? But that would put it a bit later and I don't think it was?
I have seen this style bag in both Ebano and a Red colour. I see the one in the eBay listing has a light blue lining? The Red Cocker also had a light blue lining. Again, making me think perhaps 2007, as BV did a light blue lining that year in a couple of different colours.
Regardless, it has to be before the end of 2008 because the Cocker was discontinued at that time. I don't even know if they manufactured them for Fall/Winter 2008/2009. I'm sorry, I'm just thinking out loud.
You could ask the seller when she purchased the bag maybe?
It is a nice bag, and not one you see everyday.

Thanks. I enjoyed reading your thought process [emoji5]️ One of the messages I got out of your reply is that, this bag is not a fake and that makes me happy (would be happier if it comes with the original dust bag).

I'm obsessed with blue and grey so I'm really keen in finding out which blue this is.

I'll check with the seller and report back, in case some curious minds are following this post.

Thanks again.

LOL. Oh yeah, it's real.
The Cocker was the very first BV bag I ever fell in love with.
I'm interested to find out the colour as well. BV colour codes are like is German nouns. They change depending on the situation/context. :laugh:

I pulled the trigger and bought the Cocker. Maybe I can take pictures of the bag under different lighting and see if that would help with the color guessing game :)

The only clue from the seller: She remembers rushing out to get the bag when she heard that the style was going to be discontinued.

I don't know if that helps in guessing the season/year.
