Hi, I recently bought the BV bag like the image below (i screen grab from The RealReal) but in Black. Can someone help ID the name and year of the bag? The leather is perforated, serial number is one line in blue ink. I've seen it sold on Yoogi Closet but no name and year as well. TIA1721868456648.png

I appreciate all of you and your help.

This is from 2009 - 2010. It is known as the Aquilone; the term ‘fortune cookie’ just came about because of its shape. Because this was limited, I can’t tell you the exact shade of tan. @V0N1B2 might know.

I don’t know the colour either. This bag is a bit older than my Colour knowledge. I know I have info on it at home but I’m on the golf course atm. Here is a screen grab from Vogue - it’s Bottega Veneta Fall/Winter 2004.IMG_4047.png

Thanks, S - sorry to be off on the year(s)!
I just remember this collection, it had a lot of LE bags. As you know, so many photos have been lost in various updates of the forum, and it’s getting harder to find cached photos. Makes dating items so much harder now. Vogue Runway used to be a great source of info on previous collections, but now it’s basically gone in the sh!tter. :lol:

Hello, I recently saw this person carrying an absolutely gigantic BV bag - is this a runway piece? The dimensions are so beyond the norm that I doubt it’s something regularly available, right?

I've had this bag for decades, it's my evening bag when I need to be hands free. (Love the classic The Knot but you still have to hold it.) This is silk and velvet. I think the early 80s? I'm curious if anyone knows the name of the bag. Just for fun! Honestly I cannot even remember when I bought it.

Yes I still use it, even if it's not been out in years. I see the handle is a little bent from storage. My fault! I just now need to go out more!

Look at the old style BV logo on the tag! No leather at all either, even the mirror inside the pocket is velveteen wrapped.

Thank you in advance to anyone that may remember the name of the style, and even remind me when I got it! :smile:

Hi! My mom just gave me this Bottega Veneta bag but I haven’t been able to find a lot regarding this particular model. She’s had it in storage for years and didn’t use it much. She lost the dust bag and I think it was just sitting in a plastic bin in her storage unit. I’d also like advice on cleaning and or conditioning a leather woven bag. :)IMG_3747.jpegIMG_3748.jpegIMG_3750.jpegIMG_3752.jpegIMG_3753.jpeg
