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 last photo is from the store I bought it from. 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.

I'm sorry, this is not an authentic Bottega Veneta.
The style doesn't exist, there has never been a leather Limited Edition plaque (and the numbers stamped on that would have belonged to a Cabat from around '02/'03), the lining is the wrong fabric, the zipper pulls are incorrect, etc.
I hope you are able to get a refund. Again, sorry it isn't authentic :flowers:

Oh my god! Thank you so much. They were swift to respond and will take the bag back tomorrow. I am so relieved!!! Thank you, V0N1B2! :heart:

(PS. Removed the store photo I included as it included their name, as I would hate to ruin their reputation, they didn't mean to do this.)

You're welcome. I'm glad you're able to return. I think a lot of consignment shops (unless something like fashionphile) just see a brand tag and note that the bag is in fact leather and looks well made, so they offer it for sale.
It's always a good idea to post potential or already purchased items from consignment stores here or in the AT thread just to make sure. :flowers:

Phewwww. This is a very reputable store in my city, so I had a feeling it would all be okay. But it still made me super anxious for a moment there! I'm sad because I thought, "Wow! Is this what the Jodie bags are referencing (with the "strap ties" on the bag)." LOL. You saved me from losing ~$1,000 to a bag that cannot be resold for value again. So thankful! Thank you again. I will make sure to always check from now on, glad you helped me catch this one! :hugs:

Sorry doll. I just happened to be online finishing up a lengthy PM (with all the good places to eat) to another TPF member who is visiting my town for the first time.

I know it's a Mini Cabat. My question is, approximately what year - I think that this may be from the first 'batch' of Cabats made after Tomas created it in 2001/2002? I've never seen a "C" on the plate before. The label is stitched in right below the numbers I can see.

One thing I know for sure: This Mini (Asian) Cabat is like butter. I mean, more than any I've had so far. Scrumptious buttery silken leather and it's in terrific condition.

All opinions/thoughts welcome.

Hoping someone can identify the colors of these 2 bags! :flowers:

the Green Passameria Snakeskin Knot is from F/W 2012, and i found the name i just listed, but could not find which green, just ‘green’…unless that is it, just ‘green’? Also, is it Ayers snake?

the Ostrich Veneta is from 2007, its a very light neutral color, hoping someone can identify the exact color?
