I have never seen a dyed BV, only other brands (ex. Choo) and it was always a disaster. You would have to remove the lining completely first. Then who knows what type of dye is best to cover what is already there? Even if you get lucky on your first try, you could not sell it as a regular BV I would definitely take indiaink's suggestion and look into cleaning it.

Thanks so much for your reply. I really appreciate it. It was sent back to Bottega in Italy and they said it can't be cleaned because of the texture of the leather. It is such a shame. I will sell it on ebay. I am just always afraid that even if you describe it "as is", that people will complain : ( Ebay is just not like it was 10 years ago.
Is this fuschia?

My God, my brain fell out of my head last night - I looked at that code in my master document, and translated 'fuschia' as 'orchid'. Man.
Thanks for the catch TDL!
Hi everyone! I am just about to buy my first BV! Sooo excited. Just need some imformation on the style though.
It's a medium sized woven tote style bag but more rectangularish. There's no zip. It has an adjustable shoulder strap- the strap slides to form a long sling or can be used as a two handle style. The SA told me it's a classic and called it 'rakutan' (not sure about the spelling). I cannot find anything online.
Can someone help in identifying please? Thanks in advance!

Not seeing that you ever got a response on this...? I don't have this code in my lists, would like to know the answer as well.
Hmmm - googling that first number shows it apparently belonged to a pretty green Cervo Hobo that was sold at Shirise at one time... the number keeps pulling up this bag at Shirise through ShopStyle... ?

But then - another page says it's a dark blue hobo ...
