First Bottega Veneta - Estate Sale

I recently bought a bag I suspected might be a vintage BV based on some bad estate auction photos. It was not identified as such in the auction, but I decided to roll the dice. It has now arrived and is locked (lock isn’t working) so I suspect they did not know what it was because the branding is VERY hard to see when closed.

Still working on the lock but I was able to get a look at the stamp and tag but I would like to identify further. I believe it is a bag shown in the 2006 fall/winter runway show and will include those photos too. Apologies for the wonky stamp photo. Best I could do while it’s still locked.

Any experts that can help with the serial number? It’s only one line which I guess is not normal but not unheard of?

Peace and Love Stamp?

Hi! I am new to Mulberry and this very well may not be authentic but I wanted to ask the experts if they have seen this kind of embossed stamp inside an Alexa before? I’ll add photos of the rest too (pre cleaning)

My old bag is sad.

I have had a leather Juicy bag for 25+ years. I maybe used it once and it’s been in my closet ever since. The outside is GORGEOUS, but the inside looks like a peely mess. I was getting ready to clean her up, but now I’m not sure I should bother. 😫

Have other people had this happen? What have you done to help? It’s crazy how good the exterior looks by contrast.

Florentine Satchel Newbie

After seeing photos of Florentine satchels I decided to try and thrift one to just get my hands on one to try in person without emptying my bank account. I got lucky and found a tan one but then happened upon an estate listing with two plus a zebra bag. Well, they arrived today and I’m in love. The green one is huge! 15 inches wide!

I totally get the hype now.
