The Look For Less: Dior Gypsy Ruffles Bag

February 1, 2008

Lately I've been going on about the merits of tiered ruffles, and now they've even made their way onto handbags!

One of the new Dior bags for Spring, the Dior Gypsy Ruffles Bag ($1,950) has ruffles, eyelet, and plenty of bohemian appeal. Since its price tag isn't nearly as appealing, I found a more budget-friendly option for you to get your ruffle fix with.

This Urban Outfitters Sweet Jane Leather Purse ($150) costs less than 10 percent of the Dior bag, and it's sleeker and more pared down. It's still got the ruffle-boho appeal, but is slightly less fantastical. Love it!

I actually love the Dior one. A lot of people don't like it but once you wear it it's actually chic.

I love them both, but I think the urban outfitters bag looks better in pink. I'm not sure I'd be willing to spend that much for them, though.

Hmmm I love ruffles on clothes, but I'm not sure about on bags...

I think the cheaper bag would fit more easily into a normal woman's wardrobe. This reminds me that I like UO's bags and wanted one for my birthday. Hehe....gotta go drop a hint!

I'm not really a fan of the ruffles.

I don't really like either, I'm not really a ruffle person. If I had to pick, the Dior one looks much better to me, the cheaper one looks like someone cut a pillowcase in half and made a purse out of it.
