Awesome! I wasn't too far off with my guess.

It's from F/W 2007 and the colour is Carmino.

Wow! You are good! Thanks for that! I can be rest assured it's authentic then? Does all BV carry their authenticity through the tag that way? Do you happen to know the value to buy Preloved for this? Wondering if I am getting a good deal. Thanks :)

Yes it's authentic.
You will find the majority of BV bags from 2004-present have a variation of the tag in your photo. Bags previous to 2004 have a different style tag inside and older bags have no tag at all.
Value is in the eye of the beholder but here are three listings for your perusal:

Hi everyone! My crossbody came in today and I am IN LOVE! It is so soft and I love the chain strap!

I can't find a tag inside the satin(?)-lined pocket, and I know that some older BVs don't have official names.

Hoping someone can at least let me know more or less how old this piece is, and if the chain is original? The older pieces I've seen have a leather strap.

Thanks!!!!

As boxermom wrote earlier about bags from this era (not your 'particular' bag), "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."

The chain looks really good - that's about all I can offer on that.

Wow, 70s-80s! It's in amazing condition for a bag that's possibly 30 years old!

Thanks for the info! I'm going to keep hunting for vintage pieces, the leather is amazing!

Hi, can anyone help identify the bag in this ebay listing. I just bought the same bag in red from another seller. The seller said the bag was originally purchased around 2006. Any info is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I think the unofficial name of this was was the Knot Hobo - not to be confused with the Pillow Knot.
It came in two sizes; the one in your listing is the larger of the two. It was also offered in a full intrecciato style as well. I don't know how many years this bag was produced but 2005/2006 sounds about right for the year considering the colours in which it was produced.
