Help! I'm utterly Botkier naive... I'd probably even mispronounce the name (is it bot-kee-ay?). But I did know it's a good bag and just snagged one (I hope) in great condition.

My question is - is it authentic and is a Clyde? I checked the Botkier site and the Clyde is the closest thing to this one - but mine has no drawstring pockets on the end and no shoulder strap or attachments for one.

Help me out here... and TIA!

It's very mushy and difficult to 'pose'...

Forgot to add that the metal looks sort of warm in the photos, but it's silver tone.

I think it looks good, but I don't really know this style, so hopefully someone else will chime in.

Oh gawd. Forgive me... I got excited and posted without doing enough research. Is it a Trigger?

Oh, and also, it is missing a tassel and strap, so I'm not sure about that (and the leather quality is hard to see from these photos). We definitely need to see more pics!

So I got the bag late yesterday and took some pictures this morning - what do you think? Did I do well????

Ok, so now I'm curious! Where did you score this beautiful bag????

I'm on the lookout for a black leather Sasha, and I've found this one on ebay. Am I right to assume that Botkier would not put this plastic on the inner label and would not put paper anywhere on the hardware, or is this bag authentic?

Just hoping someone can look at the additional pictures I posted of the Trigger I bought on eBay to make sure it is indeed authentic. She said given the wear on the plate common to the older Botkiers it could be. Now that I have, could someone check it out for me to make sure it's authentic.

I just bought this bag on ebay for an amazing $149.99! I really hope it is authentic! Anyone know for sure? cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220477985361#ht_500wt_ 1180
