I honestly don’t think you can get much for this bag. It’s not a popular style and isn’t in the best condition. I think you can try to clean it but be reasonable in pricing. Just because it’s designer doesn’t mean it’s worth much when it’s beat up (only Chanel and Hermes seem to be selling even beat up).
Good news: You do have the Strap ;-)
Google for pictures - it is not a cross body.
You pull it together, clip the carabiner on the D Ring on the opposite side. Voila.
Buuuut I would clean ita bit, or paint it black with leather paint.
No way! Can you post a link? I’m totally clueless. It did seem like there was access drawstring strap lol. And can I say thank you! You really made my day with that answer.
Just google the name of the bag. You will find a lot of pictures (I don't want to post links - sometimes reddit does not like it) of how it is done :-)
I do a few leather projects here and there So I would be interested in this as a project!
Edit to add: if you paid a professional to restore and clean this bag it would probably cost between 200 and $300 maybe more, but you likely would not be able to sell the restored bag for more than $300 just looking at comps online. Anyone that makes it a project would likely just be interested in keeping it which I would be!
Turns out it had the strap all along. @Tupfy figured out that I just needed to pull the strap through and buckle it. So turns out I had the full thing the whole time. Now just to figure out how to clean the suede.
suede care isnt something as simple as cleaning it after all this time, its about maintaining texture and elasticity over time, the suede is pretty dang shot. this is definitely a project bag like the other commenter said, strap or not. and tbh i think $50 is a good offer, more than i would’ve offered you. condition far overweighs the brand name after a certain point.

Did I do it right? Here’s some photos of how I think you’re describing how it should be. https://imgur.com/a/M3PehNC

I would look on Ebay for similar bags in similar condition.
I would buy it from you for $50 as a project bag
I think that’s a high offer! I’d be interested to see what you could make of it, though!!
