It is a Brick Bag. Judging from the clochette hanging off th back and the shorter handles, it's a men's brick bag. You will probably find it has plain metal zipper pulls and a fabric interior.
Probably from Fall 2013. Colour: no idea. Walnut? Junior?

seems a tad bit light for Walnut
Tho, could be different perception due to smooth vs intrecciato leather, this is my Walnut mu case

Wow ksuromax and von1b2 you are amazing! It does have fabric lining as well as plain metal zipper pulls and it does look like the more recent bag as the tag only has 1 serial number. I didn't know that there is a men's brick bag. Looks like I still have a lot to learn about Bottega Veneta 
it was described as a grey bag but didn't look grey to me. It does look a little like walnut.
Thank you!

describing BV colours verbally is probably the most pointless thing to do
their colours are well known chameleons, depending on the light and angle of shooting it can be anything from off white to good medium brown are you going to buy it? if yes, then take snaps from different angles and in different light and post here
It is a men's brick bag
They often line men's bags in canvas since men tend to take them to the gym, tennis other sports etc
There is a method to BV madnesd

I am looking out for a cervo brick bag so this one caught my eye. However I realised the handles are shorter than the women's so I can't carry it on my shoulder >< I would have pulled the trigger if the handles are longer but I guess this is better for my wallet
Dear Purseforum/BV fans,
Can anyone ID this gorgeous messenger bag and the leather used, please? Its leather has very pronounced veins and a graininess I've not seen in other BV bags...
Thanks guys !

It looks like goatskin to me. Are there any identifying markers inside the bag? A tag sewn into one of the interior pockets? It looks older to me, maybe 10+ years old?Dear Purseforum/BV fans,

Hey there V0N1B2
Thanks for responding! I'm appending a picture of the tag below - can you tell the year of production just from the tag?
As for the leather, I thought it looked like some sort of chèvre/goatskin too from the characteric spine of veins going down the middle of the bag, but wasn't sure because I've never seen BV use this leather in literally any other bag before ... the closest to this would be their Fume leather but this doesn't have the same suppleness.

The authenticity tag states the bag was produced sometime after 2012. I'm stumped, sorry.Hey there V0N1B2

Never seen a bag like this, no clue what colour it is - can think of any greens matching this that they've produced since then... I would suggest you take it to your SA and ask him or her to run the tag through their system. They might have some insight for you. Sorry
It looks like a men's collection bag to me. I first thought SS2014, but I'm guessing more than anything.

Goatskin is just a heavier grained leather, there is no 'spine' as it's from a goat, not a reptile.
There should be a heatstamp indicating the brand in the bag, as well ... ?
To be honest, there are some signs that, to me, indicate that this is NOT a BV bag ... but I'm always open to learning something new, to be sure!
Thank you all who have responded - I appreciate your comments!
To answer Indiaink's question: actually, some goat leathers (especially those used by premium brands like Hermes) do sport a characteristic spine. It isn't unique to reptilian leathers. I've appended screenshots of some articles i found on the net describing this below, for your reference.
Also, yes the words "Bottega Veneta" are embossed/heatstamped on the inside of the bag. I've also seen this style sold before in other colours and leathers (calf, specifically) in the boutiques so i'm sure it's a style carried by BV. It's just that I've never seen one in this leather.
