Nani - Honestly, I am new to McQueen or any designer, but I can tell you that I haven't seen ANY McQueen Knuckle Duster Clutches with this kind of clutch shape. I have ALWAYS seen them with a long box, instead of a small box. Also, It's coming from Hong Kong, so that may also be a red flag. I'm not 100% sure, but I haven't seen a Box Clutch this small with a Knuckle Duster, JS.

sahadewa - You would do much better just buying this style from his website directly. I'm not sure where you live or if they ship to your location, but it's the same price on his website, as it is on Ebay. HTH

Okay, I did look up the store that they are talking about on bay that they purchased from, and it's a real store, and they do carry McQueen, so I hope that helps

Could I have some help with this clutch please? Here is the link to an album: I know they are crappy pics but this all I have from the seller.

Nani, I am not an expert but I believe this to be a fake. Did you see it on eBay? I think I saw that listing, too. The box in particular looks off--McQueen boxes have the logo embossed into the box and left grey, there is no gold used on the genuine boxes. In general the purse itself does not look real to me, I have never seen one like it and certain things about the knuckle duster just look "off" to me. Would love to hear some more input.

Hi all,

Please authenticate this McQueen BLACK SILVER STUDDED KNUCKLE BOX CLUTCH. I was given it for christmas but i know its second hand so am feeling a bit skeptical about its authenticity. If you need better quality photos/different angles let me know :) thank you very much!!

Nani, see if you can get a clear photo of the top view of the knuckles, back of the skull, inside photos of both sides.

For future reference, are these some of the pics you like to see to make evaluations?

I've spotted a clutch on ebay but it seems highly dubious so I wasn't sure what photos to request. The ebay seller is wendao1980010 and they have 3 clutches for sale! Here's 2 of the links:

Thank you:)

These look extremely shady to me. I am certain that the pink one is a fake. In my experience genuine McQueen items come only in grey boxes and the McQueen logo is stamped into it, not painted in gold. The authentic dust bags are also entirely grey--the logo should not be that blue colour. I also think the bag looks fake--I've never seen one that looks like that being sold on a reputable site and the quality of the knuckle duster detail is extremely suspect.

With the longer, studded clutch it's harder to tell as they may have used some stock photos, but overall it just looks off to me, plus the fact that they listed it alongside that bag I am 99.9% certain is a fake would mean I wouldn't touch any of their items with a barge pole. I was away this weekend so sorry I didn't reply sooner, but I hope no one here bid on these as I doubt they are authentic.

Again, I am no authority on this matter, just going by my own knowledge here.
