Anyone knows who the designer of this clutch is? So many fakes online that I can't figure out the real maker!

It was on HauteLook (Nordstrom Rack). Brand was Luxmob, price was $159.97. It's not available there anymore.
It's on Gilt for $149.99: https://www.gilt.com/boutique/produ...dsi=DIR--d01adfaf-771d-4e2c-aeb3-52233b63eb61

This looks similar but no mention of the brand $99.99 https://www.littleluxuriesdesigns.c...s/wildlife-themed-crystal-clutch-evening-bag/

Can anyone help me date this McQueen bag? It has a leather embossed label inside, but I've been unable to find which year it was produced. Any advice much appreciated!

Can anyone help with identifying this bag I got at a thrift shop today? It’s leather and seems quite old but really nice quality.

I hope this is the correct forum. I've spend countless hours today trying to track down info on this bag. I looked around this site and I can't find any specific Kooba forum, so I'm here.

Someone gave me this bag secondhand. I feel weird asking a lot of questions about it because I don't want to seem ungrateful for the gift. I just want to know if anyone knows the style name and the actual color name because it looks to me like there was a crossbody strap that is missing. I want to see if I can find the matching strap secondhand somewhere but I need more information. I googled and only came up with one black one and when I click on it, it's not there.

Thank you for any help you can give. I emailed the company and they were no help whatsoever.

there used to be a Kooba subforum but it died out. I think it will be very challenging to find the matching strap to this bag, esp without the name. I was interested in kooba back in the day and don't recognize it so it may not have been a particularly popular style.....or it could be a newer style that was made after the kooba subforum closed. You might try looking on sites like ebay and see if someone is selling one in poor condition for a very low price and buy the whole bag to get the strap.
There is a thread here "Coach rehab and rescue"....possibly you might find an alternative solution there.

Have you checked here?

EDIT: I took a quick look through the thread and didn't see your bag (many of the pics are missing, a result of people using things like photo bucket to load them I believe). But they mention a lot of style names so if you're really determined you could look up the individual names and try that way.

Thank you for any help. I started going down the rabbit hole of looking up names. I feel like I started putting the effort in so I want to figure it out. I’m a research nerd.

I’m also a little confused on what you’d call the style - a hobo, tote, satchel? I’m thinking of selling it to possibly get something smaller. I told my friend that I think it’s too big for me and she said she didn’t care what I do with it but she didn’t remember the name or when she got it. She has A LOT of bags.
 
Oh and I asked kooba but their customer service was awful. The person basically said that it was before they started manufacturing for kooba so they have no info. I asked when they started manufacturing and they said 2015. So it predates that but that’s all I got.

what you do with the bag is up to you. My DH suggested that my sister may have sold bags I've given to her. I wouldn't like that. But if you can be honest enough to tell your friend you're doing that with the gift she gave you and she doesn't mind, then good for you I guess.

I'm a bit of a research nerd as well. Best of luck, let us know how you make out.
