The Look For Less: Yves Saint Laurent Downtown Tote

November 5, 2008

In another lifetime, I would hop in the town car and tell my driver to take me shopping on 5th Avenue. I would grab my fabulous Yves Saint Laurent Downtown Tote ($1,495) and set out to buy the latest and greatest fashions. Wouldn't that be nice? While shopping on 5th Avenue might be a far cry from reality, I can surely find a similar shopping companion, no?

To see the look for less, read more.

This Spiegel Oversized Tote Bag ($29) packs major bang for the buck. The patent sheen and rivet detailing give off the same decadent look without the heavy price tag. Done and done.

wow, that is a complete mirror copy. VS is also copying this bag. They are giving them away to angel cardholders with purchases of a certain amount along with other bags.

Spiegel does a few bags and shoes that are quite similar to designer items.

yeah, it really is a dead ringer - and I love both bags. this might have to be my next handbag (especially since I love patent)...

Crazy close match.

I guess it is a pretty good match, but the hardware makes it look like a knockoff and I'm not much of a fan of patent (bags, especially) in general because it tends to look cheap...
