Strap & Handle Details
Dual flat top handles with stud detailing; includes O-ring hardware for a detachable crossbody strap attachment (strap missing in view).
Craftsmanship Details
Standard machine-stitched seams with high-density production methods. The symmetry is fair, and the hardware is press-fitted rather than traditionally bolted.
Authentication Indicators
Logo plate font 'NINE WEST SINCE 1978' is standard for mid-2010s production. Tonal stitching is consistent but industrial-grade. Inner fabric tag usually lists materials and country of manufacture.
Origin & Manufacturing
Made in China. Mass-produced according to high-street retail manufacturing standards.
Era & Period
Modern Contemporary (circa late 2000s to early 2010s). Reflects the 'Boho-Chic' Influence of that era via slouchy materials and stud accents.
Age Estimate
Circa 2010-2015 based on the logo plate style and hardware design.
Cultural Significance
Represents the 'Accessible Luxury' movement that allowed fashion-conscious consumers to own trend-focused accessories without high-end prices. It was a staple brand in North American malls for decades.
Condition Notes
Fair to Good. Visible creasing and softening of the synthetic material. Moderate scuffing on the logo plate. Interior lining shows some rumpling. The strap and handle edges show slight signs of wear/peeling characteristic of aged PU leather.
Value Estimate
Original Retail: $79-$99. Current Resale Market: $15-$30 USD depending on condition and presence of crossbody strap.
Care & Maintenance
Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid leather conditioners as they may damage synthetic coatings. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent the PU from 'peeling' or becoming sticky over time.
Similar Handbags
Madden Girl Satchels, Anne Klein Hobos, or Jessica Simpson Studded Totes. The main difference is the specific logo plate branding and hardware weight.
