Hello! This Veneta is listed as "vermillion". I thought vermillion had some orange undertone.
Can someone help identify this color? Thanks!

This pre-dates most of the codes we have now - maybe early 2000s? - and all I can tell from the code "RS" stands for Rose, and it certainly looks that, with a pink undertone, not orange. This would be a good precursor to Appia. :flowers:

A lot of Bottega bags did not have official names back then. This bag is from (maybe?) Spring 2007? IIRC, it also came in Ottone and Pergemena. Is your bag Cervo leather? Some similar styled bags from that season were. Looks like Ebano and it was probably called something very generic like Braided Handle Shoulder Bag or something. A photo of the authenticity tag would be the place to start... :flowers:

Anyone have any idea? This is only my second BV ado I’m not familiar, I would just like to be introduced to the brand. I don’t know what leather it is either
Question was answered as to color - this is Ebano, which is brown. This would be lambskin, and according to the numbers, it's just a regular hobo type of bag. Probably late 90s/early 2000s.
