Urban Outfitters’ Deux Lux Pintuck hobo reminds me of Dior’s Plisse

They aren’t exactly mirror images of each other, but I can’t help thinking of the Dior’s rather unique Plisse (US$1990) whenever I look at UO’s Deux Lux Pintuck hobo, no? The funny central fanning shape, radial pleating and extremely rounded hobo shape are quite similar between the two bags. There’s one thing UO’s version has […]

Guess by Marciano’s ‘Metal Pop’ homage to the YSL Muse

I believe this is a version of a very popular YSL handbag from early 2006 - the famous ‘Muse’ that had bag ladies everywhere drooling buckets. Not a bad try. It is by Guess by Marciano, and costs a mere US$115 as opposed to the YSL price tag of US$1585. (Owie.) I remember loving the […]

Aldo copy, take two: an interpretation of the Luella ‘Stevie’?

It isn’t an exact copy, but I definitely see some resemblance between the Aldo ‘Baltoon’ and last year’s yummy Luella ‘Stevie’. The heart tab with a mirror back is a pretty big give-away, as well as the turnlock and big ring details. I’m actually intrigued by the Aldo bag - the red leather-like outline is […]

Aldo’s Elrocee looks like the Chloe Bay

Aldo is a little late on the scene, since the Bay’s reign was way forever ago. (Pft, it hasn’t been spotted on Mischa Barton since April - thats way old news, right?) But if you liked the look then, here’s your chance to re-hash it, since Aldo’s got a carbon copy for a mere US$50. […]

Miu Miu Medium Tess Vernice

A gold star goes to the girl who can tell the difference between Miu Miu’s Plisse Tote and this Medium Tess Vernice - they look almost identical. This purse has the same braided plisse sides plus hip black patent leather (as opposed to polished vitello leather) and a front zipped pocket (no detachable shoulder strap […]
