Hello! I purchased this bag of The Real Real. It just arrived. I’ve been unable to identify it through google searches using descriptors. Anyone have any idea what this style was called, when it was released? Is it leather or fabric? Retail price? I got it for only $306. I would appreciate the help figuring out what I scored! Thank you thank you thank you in advance! :heart::smile:

Wondering if the single-handle tote listed above has a name. I think the photo shows a suede lining, so it may not be a made for outlet bag, as I think those have cotton lining, at least sometimes. Looks like a pretty handy bag to carry the essentials, but it would not sit flat being only 4 inches wide. If you approve it as a genuine style made by BV, I will probably ask the seller for photos of the serial number to think seriously about purchasing.

It’s a real style but the bottom is a bit funky looking to me. I dunno, it looks a bit like the illusion bucket bags from 08/09 but their bottoms were more rounded. Def ask the seller for more info. :flowers:

Editing to add that I think it’s a bit newer and it is possible it was an outlet bag but may have also been available in department stores. *could be from 2015-ish but I feel like it’s a style BV did for a while.

You know, I decided to pass on this one after taking the plunge on the bags you kindly authenticated for me. I think with this type of vertical style, I'd have to lay the bag flat on its side or hang it up from a hook or chair back if I were to sit down anywhere with it, and for me I don't think that's practical. I prefer a bag that has a flatter bottom so that I can put it on a shelf or something. The handle reminds me very much of the Parachute but of course the rest of the bag is a different style. Seller is very responsive to questions in case anybody else here gets interested and wants to investigate. Thank you so much for your thoughts on this bag!

No problem :smile:
That bag should have a flatter bottom, which is why I thought it looked a bit funky. Unless there was a smaller size made? I thought it only came in one size, but I don’t know all the bags ever produced :lol:
The bottom should look more like this one, and would stand up on its own.

I don't think so. Tomas made beautiful things but he just wasn't very creative in the naming department :lol:
It's from Spring 2012. Colours are Steel & Stucco.
A similar style bag was done in 2014 or 2015 but it didn't have the shoulder strap and the shape was just slightly different.

I picked up this interesting beauty from a consignment shop today! It's a cross between the current Large Jodie Bag and the Campana. It comes with a limited edition leather tag. The bag also features a divider to make two large compartments inside. I'm just wondering if anybody knows what it is called or when it was made. Would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you so much! :smile:

I am slightly irked though. The tag looks like it says "CAVORAZIONE" and not "LAVORAZIONE" like the other limited bags I've seen. Could this potentially be an error? Has this been seen before? Ah! I just noticed this. I hope I didn't get a fake... but the bag feels so real? I've held many Bottega bags and this seems genuine.
