Hi everyone,
I saw this bag Georgia from the TV show the block was carrying, managed to get a screengrab.
Any chance anyone can identify the brand/model?
It appears to be a bucket bag, there are some identifying lines on the strap there... any ideas?

Picked up this backpack(also has detachable shoulder strap) today from Goodwill as it’s colors caught my eye! No brand or tags whatsoever. Just a blank leather tab that is raw on the back side. I’m quite certain it’s real leather. Feels thick and pebbled. Look familiar to anyone or is it just an unbranded cutie? Thanks.

Usually those blank leather tabs indicate it is unbranded. I'm unsure if manufacturers put those in so it looks more official or if some retailers actually stamp their name on them.Picked up this backpack(also has detachable shoulder strap) today from Goodwill as it’s colors caught my eye!

It looks very cute! I like those colors. Kind of reminds me of Fossil.
Thank you!! You’re right, it does almost remind me of Fossil!

Hi, thanks! It did look like that to me too, at least I could not find any similar logo - however, I have no idea if it is a Westwood and which bag.

Il Bisonte bags have a similar looking logo but I couldn't find any bags that matched. Seems along the same type of styling, though.
Does anyone know the designer of this bag? Terrible photos I know, but it's from the 1963 film Charade with Audrey Hepburn. The clothing designer was Givenchy, but the film also featured other designer goods such as LV luggage. It has a flap, four grommets, gold chain, smooth leather, and a gold turn lock (which looks oval). Sounds like a Chanel, I'm just wondering if other designers copied these elements.
Here's a GIF of the bag:

Thanks in advance!

I should add that I decided to contact Givenchy regarding this handbag out of curiosity (and love of history), and they kindly notified me that despite several researches, their Heritage Department was unable to confirm that this handbag was designed by Monsieur de Givenchy. They added that they can however confirm that several of the handbags worn by Audrey Hepburn in this film were not Givenchy bags. Good to know!
It's great they responded. Once I tried to find out more about my vintage Chanel #5 from Chanel, specifically when they used that particular packaging so I could date it, and all they said was that they can't guarantee the quality of something that old.
Hi! Found this bag in the Hermes website while looking at twillies; can anyone identify please? Ta!
Saw this documentary and assumed it was Gucci, but that's not the Gucci logo.
There are some elite brands that get unnoticed because they are so exclusive and for those 'in the know'.
For instance Morabito. Designs for royalty, uses reptile skins and actual gemstones made in their atelier in Paris. Did a bag for Marilyn Monroe which became well known.
Has a more popular side range, including canvas made in Italy by artisans. Fantastic quality, I mean incredible. I have 5 (not gemstones or reptile skins the CITES rules would prevent it anyway) but no chat room in here for Morabito.
Or Mila Schon. Designed for the jet set. Still going. Not well known.
Becoming more well known: Goyard.
I would assume it's one of those or similar so try googling less well known luxury brands?
Others which are less valued include Bally, who makes much better quality bags than some of the bigger names, IMO. But the design can be a bit matronly. They've lifted their game recently.
Good luck with it. The bags look a bit like Balenciaga from the 1990s but that's apparently not the B logo.

OK I just watched the doco and fwded to this segment.
The very first image after she tries on the yellow lens glasses is of a black bag, to the left of the screen. On the handle of the bag is the letter B, it's side on.
I think it's Balenciaga. Before Nicolas Ghesquière became really big there in 1997. He was a licence designer before becoming head designer in 1997. The designs of the bags in the doco segment is classic, not so edgy, the glasses are though. Could be NG in his little area of maybe eyewear?
I personally like Balenciaga for that period. Hope his helps.
