Battle of the Bags
Battle of the Bags: Cole Haan Vs. Isaac Mizrahi
Thursday, March 31st, 2011The Kendra Vintage Valise tote by Cole Haan and the Spazzalato Leather Chic tote by Isaac Mizrahi have two major qualities in common: they’re both similarly-shaped totes and they both have a vivid green color. The biggest glaring difference between these two bags is undoubtedly the price point. The Mizrahi costs $1,350 while the Cole [...]
Battle of the Bags: Treesje Vs. Elie Tahari
Friday, February 18th, 2011I haven’t done a Battle of the Bags blog post in quite a while now but when I came across the Treesje Renegade tote and the Elie Tahari Paige hobo, I knew what needed to be done! I’m not sure which bag came first but the striking resemblance between the two is downright impossible to [...]
Battle of the Bags: Badgley Mischka Vs. CC Skye
Saturday, December 11th, 2010The Shine clutch by Badgley Mischka and the Lulu Day clutch by CC Skye both have the same shape, they’re both made from genuine leather, they have similar prices, and they both convert into shoulder bags with an attachable strap. The big difference lies in the fact that the CC Skye bag is bigger than [...]
Battle of the Bags: Treesje Vs. Nine West
Saturday, November 13th, 2010The Treesje Jovi Cross-Body bag and the Nine West Envelope Clutch/Cross-Body are basically identical so this battle should be quite interesting . . . Because Treesje is a more high-end label than Nine West, a significant difference in price between the two bags is to be expected. The Jovi bag costs $365 while the Envelope [...]
Battle of the Bags: Rebecca Minkoff Vs. Giuseppe Zanotti
Tuesday, November 9th, 2010This edition of Battle of the Bags features two luxury handbag heavyweights: Rebecca Minkoff and Giuseppe Zanotti. The Mainsqueeze clutch by Rebecca Minkoff and the IB0046 (sorry, no catchy name!) clutch by Giuseppe Zanotti have a similar look but are they evenly matched? One of the biggest differences between the two is the fact that [...]
Battle of the Bags: Kenneth Cole Vs. CC Skye
Wednesday, October 20th, 2010Frill is one of those details that when done just right, it can elevate a handbag from drab to fab but when done incorrectly, it can look cheap and tacky. Thankfully, Kenneth Cole and CC Skye have each come out with frilly satchels which are fun and chic but the question is, which one is [...]
Battle of the Bags: Nine West Vs. Michael Kors
Thursday, September 30th, 2010When you look at the Kenton satchel by Michael Kors and the Chaz Ruby shopper by Nine West, the similarity is obvious because both have a bold lace-up design across the front. One of the biggest differences however is definitely the price because the Ruby shopper costs $39.99 while the Kenton satchel is sold at [...]
Battle of the Bags: Rebecca Minkoff Vs. Kooba
Monday, September 20th, 2010This pint-sized edition of the Battle of the Bags will feature mini satchels by designer handbag powerhouses Rebecca Minkoff and Kooba. Let’s start things off by looking at the Kooba Hadley satchel. The first thing you’ll notice about this bag is how rugged it looks because of the textured leather, the stitching detail, and the [...]
BATTLE OF THE BAGS: Foley + Corinna Vs. Pietro Alessandro
Sunday, August 15th, 2010Foley + Corinna and Pietro Alessandro have both come out with gorgeous convertible handbags which look pretty much identical to the naked eye, but my job is to nit-pick and find the little differences for this edition of BATTLE OF THE BAGS. First however, I’ll have to start with the similarities. Both bags come with [...]
BATTLE OF THE BAGS: Bally vs. CC Skye
Sunday, July 18th, 2010When you look at the Bally Dasha hobo and the CC Skye Love 82 hobo, there are some obvious similarities. For example, they are both made with a gorgeous deep red leather, they’re both slouchy, and they’re both edgy yet versatile. The big difference between the two is definitely the price. The Bally goes for [...]
