Has anyone seen the MK bags that look like speedys?

Seen em and really want one in the vanilla color. I like it because it's similar to an azur speedy (shape +color pattern) but different in many ways (stud detail, buckle detail, zipper goes down to the side a bit for easy access, feet at the bottom, organizational pockets, key lanyard inside) plus NO darkening handles! I've seen too many girls carrying an azur speedy so I'd much rather have the MK version :smile1:
 
Dooney & Bourke has a line that resembles LV. First time I saw it I did a double take because just for a second it looked like LV. Also, I found that if I squinted my eyes it looked like LV. :speedy:
 
The shape is just that of a doctor's bag - it is not unique to LV, nor were they the first brand to promote a bag in that style. As others have said, look at Gucci, Burberry, Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood... many top designers have bags in the same/very similar shape to the Speedy.
 
The Speedy is such a classic shape that it makes sense that it is copied by other brands. I just wish that they would've added some internal organizer or storage or several pockets to create some variety or option from the LV one. Otherwise, why buy a bag inspired by another bag right? Go for the original, the inspiration so you can walk around and inspire others too. I mean if my Michael Kors was inspired by the Speedy, we can all tote ours around and inspire more people.
 
For those of you who aren't familiar with the metric system (Canada has it and I'm still confused a lot of the time because I grew up in the US) LV measures in centimeters.

A cm. is close to a half inch but slightly less (10 cm = 4 inches). So a Speedy 30 is 30 cm. or about 12 inches.

If you feel weird using a tape measure, bring the largest thing you want to put in it, to hold outside of it if you don't feel right putting your stuff inside to try. Example I have a Kindle and want to make sure it will fit in any bag I buy, everything else I carry is smaller than the Kindle.
