In this post we want to give you some feedback with regards to Authenticating Bottega Veneta bags.
In other words, what to look for when it comes to choosing a Bottega Veneta vintage bag and how to read internal labels, product codes and serials.
Bottega Veneta:
“Certificato di originalità”
To start, let’s take a look at the reverse of the “CERTIFICATO DI ORIGINALITA” internal tag. In english this means “CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY”.
Moreover, this tag is normally can be seen in one of the inside corners of an internal pocket or compartment.
This label comes from the inside of this splendid black leather “duette” bag:
It shows:
192931 – Model of the bag
VFFA1 – Leather Code
1000 – Color Code
2007 – Release Year
Here is an example of an older model. A beautiful green intrecciato shoulder bag, which only shows the last serial number:

22 . 03 . 2021I have what I believe to be an authentic BV bag. It has serial # and suede lining, with the leather stamp inside. I’m curious how to find out if it’s vintage? I’m kind of assuming it is since it doesn’t have a year on the tag. Can you help!

24 . 04 . 2021good morning!
i have hir a bottega veneta 2 way bag i boought it from ukay ukay, i cnt see any tag nor serial number. can can i know if my bag is legit coz i want to sell it. thank u
Marco Operti
24 . 04 . 2021Good day. My suggestion is to authenticate this bag from third party authenticators before even thinking of selling it. Purchasing a bag at “ukay ukay” with hardly no experience and then selling it online is not a winning bet.

19 . 05 . 2021Hi i have crossbody bag bottega veneta but there is no serial number,can you help me please and thank you.
Marco Operti
19 . 05 . 2021Unfortunately we don’t provide authentications, but only some useful information with the help of images and personal knowledge. We can suggest to request a certification from international authentication services – I can suggest a few, send us an email from our online boutique contacts (OPHERTYCIOCCI.COM).
