What is the name of your state?California

Is it legal to sell a clear replica of a brand name product, if the replica does not have the name or logo on the product, but is similar in style, shape or color, even with some differences ? Can A brand name company like Gucci trademark or patent a purse design?

Yes, unless the style, shape and color are trademarked or patented.

Can A brand name company like Gucci trademark or patent a purse design?
Potentially. Almost certainly they hold at least some trademarks on their designs; it is much less likely, although still possible, that they hold design patents as well.
