should I or shouldn't I?
Permalink Closed

I've been wanting a new black leather purse with gold hardware forever now, and I really like this one, but apparently it's a knock-off because it's on this website. I don't even know what it's a knock-off of, I just really like how it looks.



Should I get it? I like the price :) $180. Is it a design that's uncommon enough that no one would suspect it might be a knock-off?

Does anybody know about the quality of leather of the bags on this website?

Taking a look at the sight it's definitely a knock off. I'm sure someone here can tell you which bag. Knock off or not I'm not really a fan of the bag, there's just too much going on with it. I think you can find a much better black leather bag in that price range.

I really do like it, but I'm also not that opposed to knockoffs so I can't be much of a help in that vote

The bag that springs to mind is the YSL Muse in terms of inspiration for this bag. Here's the Muse:

I'm not big on knockoffs so I think you could do better for the price. It seems very Chloe inspired like this,

I'm interested in what other people come up with. I really like the bag in question, and I'm not usually into black with gold.

I like that it's relatively simple and tailored overall, and the stud detailing is cool yet still subtle.

It appears to be a knockoff of the Mulberry Bayswater:

I was at Banana Republic and saw some surprisingly chic bags, they look even better in person:
