I don't know why the moment I saw this hobo, it reminds me of Bottega Veneta. It looks like it's very soft and cuddly, like BV nappa.

I LOVE this one! Too bad the price is still a little steep. Never heard of this brand. Is it popular in Singapore?

Well, haven't even heard of this name/brand until I stumbled upon this website. However this is a reliable e-retailer backed by a famous local blogger. And based on the picture, the quality seems top notch.

Hermes Birkin ($8,000-$10K+?)

instead, get:

Michael Kors Hamilton
LARGE: $328 for plain/quilted leather, $398 for embossed leather.
SMALL $298

That is exactly the reason I bought the orange Hamilton - I call her my poor girls Berkie lol

Hi, I've just been looking at smaller bag designers, and I saw a few bags that look like more expensive bags. They're not like dupes, they're just designs that look similar to other handbags. Here's a thread that's similar but it's pretty old. So anyone can just post bags that are from real brands that look alike to other more "designer" bags. I don't know how to say that in a way that makes sense! But I'll post some examples.

I bought the Coach Cassie as I wasn't sold on the LV Pochette Metis and wasn't ready to spend the jack.

The first bag look alike that I found is the Léo et Violette Nova bag and the mini nova bag. I think they look similar to the celine box bag, but what I like about the designs is that there's no interior pockets, so you can fit more things. The Nova bag costs 360 euros and the Celine box bag costs $3950

The Hereu Espiga mini bag looks similar in how it functions to the Bottega Veneta mini jodie, but it also comes with a crossbody strap. The Hereu espiga mini costs $390 and the bv mini jodie costs $1790 I think.

The last bag is the Mansur Gavriel Cloud Clutch. I think it looks similar to the BV pouch and there's also a mini size. The Mansur Gavriel cloud clutch costs $595 and the BV pouch costs $2790.

Yeah I think the Coach Cassie is very similar to the LV Pochette Metis but less expensive. I'll put that here.

The Coach Cassie is very similar to the LV pochette metis. The Coach Cassie costs $350 and the Pochette Metis costs $2050.
