I was out shopping at the outlets today in Cabazon, CA and went into the Barney's outlet. I saw what I thought was a Hayden-Harnett Havana from across the store and ran over, because I was so surprised that Barney's sold HH! Well, I got closer and noticed the leather was more pebbly than I thought Havana leather was supposed be, it seemed a lot smaller than it should be, and the gold studs didn't have the signature hh stamped on them. Turns out it's a Barney's label bag! Now, I know Barney sometimes relabels other brands as their own (as with Tano bags), but I wasn't aware they did this with HH bags. And if not, then this is a blatant rip-off! Either Barney's is knocking off HH bags or one of their relabeled brands is. I wonder if HH is aware of this. I took a spy photo. See for yourselves.
Oh, forgot to mention that I also saw a bag that looked like a knock-off of a Rebecca Minkoff Elisha! Again, it was smaller than the original and had a Barney's NY label affixed inside, but it was the unmistakable shape of the Elisha. Has Barney's become the place for (way overpriced) replicas?!
