Thanks for the info, vaxe. The boutiques were not very clear on the two sizes of standard - I might have plumped for the 7x 11 if I had realised at the time. It was only when I started comparing my Maxi against a display model that I noticed the larger standard. Anyway, luckily I got mine on sale and it was the same price as the standard....

I'm not sure of the specific name of the treatment but I think it was from 2010. I think it was available in several colors including Chene and a teal-ish color.

Hi ladies 
Would anyone be able to shed any light on this crossbody style, it has no linen label inside the zip pocket (which is a satin lining) just the metal plate (no rivets) on the inside, inside the body of the bag is suede lined
There is a popper pocket on the reverse of the bag, and a small poppered pocket underneath the front flap.
I have no knowledge on the bag so any you could provide regarding colour name, style name, and age, would be great, thank you
The light is making the colour look uneven and it's not.

This is older vintage (1970's-1980's, probably) when they had no coded tags. The metal plaque was the only identifier inside. BV didn't use style names back then. It looks to be in quite good condition. Nice color.
Hi Boxermom, thank you, that's excellent.
I do seem to have this innate draw to all things 70's and 80's so this doesn't surprise me
The bag is indeed in excellent quality being very gently used and comparable in quality to other BV's I have aswell as a Chanel I have, their lambskin is the best.
Thank you again 
If I can help you at any time just ask

You're welcome! I think the vintage lambskin is softer than the nappa used currently. Maybe they tanned it differently. Anyway, it's one of the reasons I love and look for gently used vintage BV bags. The best ones feel like silk. You have a lovely bag in a really great brown color.
Hello! Hoping someone can help... I tried to do a search but since older BVs don't really have a style name, I didn't really get too far. I just won this vintage piece and was wondering if anyone knows if the strap is original to the style? Most (if not all?) of the pictures of vintage crossbody bags I've seen have a leather strap.

Hi..I am fairly new to BV and there's this Preloved that I am interested in. Can someone tell me what model or year this design belongs to? Also, how am I able to tell if it is authentic? Does it have serial number? If yes, how to read them? Thank you to anyone who can help me out here
I don't think this bag is that old. Based on the hardware, it looks like it fits in with the 2006-ish era of bags.Hi..I am fairly new to BV and there's this Preloved that I am interested in.

Is the bag in your posession? There should be a zipped pocket inside the bag. Inside that pocket there should be an authenticity tag.
The bag is not in my possession yet but I managed to ask for pics..thank you for your reply! Any further help is much appreciated [emoji4]
