Congratulations on a wonderful find! I hope you enjoy this beautiful bag for many years to come! It's truly a work of art.

I wanted to add a bit to the conversation on SO Cabats. I was gifted an SO Mini Cabat in brass and ferro lizard through an estate. The original owner also gifted a SO Mini Crocodile Cabat. The OO left notes inside each gifted bag with a detailed history/commentary on her purchase (and a list of reasons why the bag should be used not stored in the closet). LOL. I've reached out to see if the new owner would post a few photos here or send them to me to post, along with any history from the note - for your research on your bag. Or I can post in a more appropriate place in the forum if received.

Again - Congrats!

Thank you very much :)

And how wonderful you were gifted a SO Cabat :heart: Brass/ferro lizard is tdf! Would love to see a pic, if you are comfortable posting (there is a dedicated Cabat thread where we share our bags), ….how special and meaningful also, to receive a love note from the OO with all of the bag details. That is really cool!

Please share any info you learn about the Croc Cabat, i would love to hear what the note says! And see pix too :)

Hi! Super new user here. I've seen a few references to asking your SA to authenticate if a bag's serial numbers are valid. What does this mean? I just found a BV bag at Goodwill and trying to do my own research before asking other's to respect their time. Thank you!

Try posting over in the authentication thread!

Authenticate This BOTTEGA VENETA

The bag pictured is authentic, IMO. Vintage is not my forté, so I can’t give you much information, other than this is at least 30 years old. :flowers: Woah, thanks V0N! It’s very different from any of my other Bottega pieces, but they’re much newer so I guess that makes sense. Now I can try to...

You should find a white tag sewn in to the seam of the pocket in your BV bag with numbers on one side. We have an "Authenticate This..." thread - make sure to read the first post and provide requested photos. "Tentative" congrats on your Goodwill find!

Hello! A question that's not quite as exciting as the last saga... (:

A local seller had this bag listed on FB Marketplace. I've been trying to learn the style name, but when I find it on resale sites it's often just listed as a small crossbody bag. I did find a few references to the name Creel, though -- could that be it? Also, would you know what years they were made?

Many thanks! I wish I'd bought it now, but perhaps I can track one down for a reasonable price.

It is known as a ‘Creel‘ bag and it is vintage. It predates the forum and there really isn’t more info.
