Hi All. I saw this for sale today and wondered if anyone could ID this bag for me. Does anyone know the name/production date/approx. price?

I think I would be crazy to buy this bag from an ebay seller located in Japan who only has a history of 8 sales...right?

But while I try to talk myself over this crush, I would be quite interested in learning more about the bag.

Thanks!

I think this is from the F/W 07 collection, the studded Veneta - check this link:

Is this bag made of Karung snakeskin?

I know that this is not a BV bag but I am posting it here because I'm guessing that it is made of Karung snakeskin but I am not sure; so I thought that perhaps the Bottega Veneta experts might be able to assist me?

I won this (made in Italy in 2008) snakeskin Coach bag on a charity auction site. I haven't received the bag yet but I have been trying to find out more about it. After looking at pics of various types of snakeskin bags, I think it is Karung, but that's just a guess. I have posted a few pics here and you can find more auction photos at the link below.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I think it's embossed - Coach doesn't normally use snakeskin. I certainly can't see any scales, per se. At least you know it's a Parker. Hope this is authentic - fancy creed patch, for sure.

ETA This could be a special edition - but that's Coach territory. Apparently some bags have been done in Italy but from what I'm reading the last one was early 2000s.

I did post it on the Coach forum but although the authenticators have stated that it is genuine I haven't found anyone that has seen this specific bag before.

The more recent Coach snakeskin bags are embossed print leather but Coach has made exotic genuine snakeskin bags in the past, and the creed patch always states that it is made of genuine python (or snake) like the bag at the link below (NMA).

Coach no longer makes complete lines of bags in Italy but they have made some specialty bags there in recent years.

I am confident that it is genuine snakeskin but I am trying to identify the breed of snake, it doesn't look like python, I was thinking karung but I am not sure.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I cannot tell if it is genuine snake without handling the skin to feel the scales. However, the scale size and pattern is consistent with Karung.

Thank you so much! Another TPFer identified the bag as a Parker Exotics Shoulder Flap (small flap bag) and I have just found an article stating that it was made in luxe python and delicate karung snakeskin, see below.

Thanks again!

Thanks again for your help! I received the bag and it is beautiful and in excellent condition, you can see my reveal pics at the link below.

I realize that as a Coach bag it is an upscale bag but not a premier designer bag; but it is a beautiful, genune Karung snakeskin bag made in Italy and I really love it!

I have been reading about the proper way to care for snakeskin bags here on TPF and I have already purchased a bottle of DYO reptile conditioner! :D

Hi, I recently bought the bag in the photo and would like to know more about it. I cannot find any white paper tag like I have seen in many of the posts here, so I wonder if this is a clue to its age? It may have come originally from Canada as I found a Canadian penny in the pocket.

Many thanks!

well it is a man's messenger bag
I don't know how old it is but older than 2-009
look in the zipper inside pocket for the white tag
other than that it has no name
