I have this bag that I purchased a few years ago. It has been sitting in the back of my closet and had never been used. I am thinking about possibly selling it, but I honestly don't know much about it other than that it's Bottega. I love Bottega bags but I am not familiar with this style. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

This is the inner authenticity tag. Help is much appreciated!

You would need to contact your Bottega Veneta SA in order for them to decipher the tag, sorry! Pretty bag!

Thanks for the advice.
I just called my SA. She said the bag is borsa cervo lavato. Has anyone ever heard of that before? The leather is definitely the cervo leather so that part makes sense, but I am still confused about the rest. Thanks!!!!

Borsa Cervo Lavato is just Italian for Washed Cervo Bag.
BV doesn't generally "name" their bags.
You bag looks like Chene to me so it's probably from sometime between F/W 2012 - F/W 2013.
I don't have catalogues so maybe someone who does can help you :flowers:

I have become totally spoiled to a tote - I have three large venetas but it's become increasingly difficult to make myself use them. Have I become so lazy that I must have an easy-open tote? Yes, and for that reason I am looking for a BV tote. I love the color of this one on Fashionphile although it looks a bit odd. The straps are front-to-back instead of side-to-side. Anyone familiar with this particular tote?

Sometimes, nothing beats the convenience of an open double-handled tote! I still find large Venetas to be slightly more comfortable on the shoulder than my two-handle totes, especially while traveling, and I love the security of the zipper. So I'm keeping my Venetas, too. But, I understand the appeal, and there's room in my collection for both styles, for sure.

As for the tote in the link that you posted, I've never owned a tote like this, but it looks like there are four working buckles, two attached to the front and two attached to the back. Perhaps someone unbuckled the straps and re-buckled them so that each strap connects from front to back. If so, perhaps one could unbuckle the straps and re-buckle them so that one strap is attached to the front buckles, and the other strap is attached to the back buckles. Does that make sense?

I thought the same as soon as I saw the bag, it's totally up to you how to buckle them

Yes, I was thinking the same thing but didn't want to assume. Maybe they wanted a bucket bag. I sent a message to Fashionphile but they didn't respond. I think I will give them a call. Thank you for your reply.
