HI Everyone..Does anyone know about the Clyde bags? I just got one for $150 new with tags on ebay. The seller claimed to get it at Neiman Marcus. She seems legit, but I am wondering about the inside leather name plate (all of my other Botkiers have metal inside nameplates. It came with a authenticity card and the extra tassle. Does anyone know if the Botkier's came with the leather inside tags??? THANKS! I have included pics!

The first pic of both looks like a stock photo. The pic of the Botkier nameplate looks like the same picture for both also, which is strange. I'm always suspicious of people using other people's pictures, though I guess you don't know for sure whose picture it actually is. I don't see any red flags with the pictures shown, but I would want to see a zipper pull for both, and you should check feedback carefully and maybe ask a question or two to make sure the pictures shown are actually of the bag you'd be getting.
 
What do you make of this little ruched gunmetal Kate Clutch? I think it's cute, but when I did a search for botkier kate clutch, all I got was a few listings on ebay, which seems like a red flag. maybe it's just old? I don't know Botkier. Thank you!

I recommend emailing Botkier and asking about the "Kate." Maybe send them a pic and ask the year it was produced,? There are a few things about the bag that make me question its authenticity and I would be surprised (and disappointed) it it's a Botkier.

I could be wrong though.
