Hi. I'm trying to ID a BV I recently saw on someone in a shopping mall - no pics. It looked like a cross between a Sloan & Pyramid. It had a fold-over flap closure, single shoulder strap and the rings were metal (not braided leather). Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.

Have you already looked through the reference library? Color would help.
 
Hello All BV experts..

I purchased a BV and I need help reading the vintage label.

there are three lines

Line #1 - 10100101019GLD
Line # 2 - 9L000143050013
Line # 3 - 912037

The bag is in excellent condition ... its already broken in since its older.. so I would like to keep it but I would like to know if its real..

thanks.

I don't know how to read the lines of numbers on the label, but based on the label and other markings, this is an authentic vintage Bottega Veneta.
 
Hi. I have owned this bag for about 8 years. I bought it used on ebay. I do not doubt it's authenticity. I have actually had the BV store in SF send it back to BV to see if if could be cleaned, and it can not. SO I have two questions. Does anyone know anything about this bag? Style, year, etc? I should have asked when I had it sent back, but I never thought I would have to part with it. Second, has anyone ever had any success with dying a BV bag a darker color? This bag is just too dirty to use any longer.
This bag is quite large. The drop from the handles is almost 18", and it is about 16" across if you don't flatten it out. Flattened out with the bag empty it is about 21" across. The width of the bottom is almost 6".

Thanks so much in advance for any help. Take care.

A picture of the bag in question would be helpful.
 
So I found out the name of the bag is Campana. I think it is the large one. Here is a picture from a website. I can't get my pictures to load. So now I know the name. Here is my question. Has anyone had success dying a purse? Or should I just try to sell it on ebay to someone who will just use it the way it is? And if so what would it be worth in dirty condition?

It is not recommended to dye a woven bag with a suede lining like BV bags - you're creating a recipe for disaster. If you want to keep the bag and get it cleaned, Bottega Veneta offers a spa service for cleaning their bags - I'd check with the NYC flagship store to get a second opinion; it makes no sense to me that it can't be cleaned, but then I haven't seen the bag so don't know how bad it is. If you want to get rid of the bag, sell it on e-Bay as it is. Check past sales of Bottega Veneta Campana bags on e-Bay to get a relative value. Good luck to you.
