Please help Identify this Handbag!

I'm trying to ID this bag. It's suede (so high quality, I thought it could be velvet), turnlock and handle with diamonds? The stones are so nicely set... also has makers mark that I don't recognize. The inside reads: Evelyne la Boutiquiere... I can't find anything online with that name. Trying to decide if I should keep or not.

I don't know the make but it looks like antelope suede from the 1950s. I doubt they're diamonds but paste. Even French paste stones (glass) had to be hand cut.

I think Cheney just made locks. Also what are those marks near the hw? Does it look as though there was different hw previously or is marks from when the lock closes?

I'd have to know the measurements of the bag/case, see the inside and a close-up of the handles, they look long for the bag from this angle.
 
I'm 99.99999% sure this Tokidoki bag is a fake. I've never owned or even touched tokinope1.jpg tokinope2.jpg a Tokidoki, but there seems to be so much wrong with it (wrong fabrics, poor workmanship, etc.) Just wanted to get an expert opinion. Any suggestions on how to dispose of it? I usually donate my unwanted bags to the local charity/thrift store, but I'm not sure I want to do that. I'd hate for someone to buy it thinking it's real. But maybe I could remove the label or something.

What do you mean by saying hw? I'm not familiar with abbreviations in English.

I wonder if this is the original, I have not seen anywhere on ebay or the internet.
I found this bag in my 90 year old aunt's house. In times when the purse was produced, my country (Poland) was reigning communism. I do not believe that at that time some manufacturer bought latches in the UK. On the other hand, Aunt never ever go abroad so I do not know where she got such an object from.

sorry for mistakes my English is not very good

Not at all, your English is fine

hw = hardware

From the size it sounds like a briefcase or specialist case for travelling. The locks could be 1930/40s Cheney made for Pioneer at that time, but I was trying to make sure they were original to the case as Cheney made locks for a long time, late-1960/early'70s was a very popular time for these cases, especially in the West. The straps certainly look younger and (could they have been added later?) usually they would be shorter and thicker but perhaps this is a specialist case of some sort.

I can't access you Google drive, I would need to see more pictures to tell you more.

Edit: Does it have a brass zipper in it, matte cloth interior matching tan bound edges?
