I've seen this off and on on e-Bay - usually advertised as a cosmetic bag, hence the nylon (easy clean) nylon. Probably why you got it at a good price.

real BV's are lined in suede or velour.
it could be a bag made for the outlet
but I would wait until Boxermom takes a look

I don't think it is a cosmetic
what are the dimensions
cosmetics (which include the iron bag. which is really a cosmetic) are lined in nylon and so are canvas bags

My guess is that this one is only made for outlets. I have only seen them there. I think they are called knot bags, but I'm not sure.

I was thinking outlet myself
It is a take on the sloane
or an old version of the sloane
I have heard outlet bags (made for the outlet) are not lined in suede

Hi all, thanks for your input 
This is pretty large, like a large belly. Tho base is rectangular.
Oh wells, I guess this will be my first and last time shpg at outlet malls.
But hey, I enjoyed carrying it today! Strangely, the sides of the bag (non-oven) feels 'thin' but the handles feel super smoosh. I am thkg if a cabat - with double woven layer - feels like that? cheers!

don't despair because of the outlet
the same people that make the bags for the boutiques make the bags for the outlets
to give a better price the lining might be different but it is still a BV with the wonderful smooshy leather
I bet the lining is easier to clean than the suede
if you don't like the lining you can send it to a BV store and ask that it be relined in suede
I think the price for relining is around $250.

They do relining? For the whole bag? Gosh, there is hope for one of my bags! (Maybe i shld reline with nylon... Hah!)

)I had the same bag but fully woven all around. I believe it's a made for outlet only bag and the fully woven version has been discontinued a while back. However, interestingly the SA in carmel was able to look it up in their system too at that time. Mine was lined in suede.
It's a lovely bag, and sized similar to a sloane. Also a great travel bag cuz it has 2 big zippered compartments. I took mine on vacation and it's very practical, light weight and held up really well too.
Enjoy the bag!!

This is the older Aquilone "fortune cookie" bag. I believe it is made from Nappa.
Hi all,
My first time posting on TPF and I need some help pls -- Verifying this new purchase at an outlet mall off Tokyo. What model is it??
The SA said it's Ebano (col) and Nappa (leather type) though dont have more info as it wasn't available in Japan previously. I was rushing then, and it wasn't easy conversing cos I speak no Jap. But the bag looked pretty good and was cheap! Well, by BV stds anyways... so I got it and dashed off. All within minutes.
Dont doubt the authenticity as it's a proper BV shop. Bag feels right, compared to my existing bags. Though I was surprised that the lining is not suede. Eh?!?! And I only realised this after unpacking it now at home.
I mean, it's prolly more practical but feels odd. The leather is the right smooshy-ness and quality (if you know what I mean. And it feels a little thin on the sides that are not woven.
Dont really see this model online and it's annoying me, somehow (even tho I still like it!)
Hope someone can help... What model is it? And which season (circa)?
Many many thanks!

I'm confused because this is an older style but a current-style tag is inside. And I thought all regular size BV bags had the suede lining now. Are you sure it was a real BV boutique outlet? Can you post a photo of the heatstamp/font? I don't know if this is authentic or not.
this bag is vintage

Hi! Can anybody please identify this BV? Year? I got this bag from a thrift shop and I already inquired for the authenticity in authenticate thread (still waiting for response.
Many thanks in advance!
