Splurge and save

Splurge

Prada Saffiano Lux Tote
BN 2274 
L 12.99" H 9.25" D 5.71"
USD 1,810 


 Save
Tory Burch Robinson Double Zip Tote
14"L x 5 1/2"W x 10 3/4" H
USD 575


These two bags are very much look alike.
Both are using saffiano leather.
Design-wise, both are very very similar.
Size-wise, the Tory Burch is one inch longer than the Prada.
Strap buckle is slightly different and I like Prada better on its buckle design.
Logo position is exactly the same.
Price-wise, Prada cost 3 times more expensive than Tory Burch (ouch!).

The reason why I made this post because simply I like the bag (both!). I saw the bag for first time on Mission Impossible 4 movie, as it was worn by Lea Seydoux (she was the bad girl on the movie). I like it when the bag was worn in cross-body style. It looked comfortable yet stylish.

Since I really like the bag style (a tote bag that can be worn crossbody), then I decided to get one.
Which one is it? Well, I choose to 'SAVE', meaning I just bought a Tory Burch Robinson Double Zip Tote in black. Even better, I bought it during Bloomingdales sale. Then it just became 'SUPER SAVE'. Yay!

Now I just need to wait patiently until the bag is delivered to my doorstep....

  1. Hi! I recently acquired a tory burch bag from a friend when he was abroad. I was just wondering how authentic the bag is (not that I'm doubting my friend.. You know, just clarifying because you invested your money and you would not like it if your baby, the bag, is fake). I would really appreciate it if you reply. Anyway, I like your blog and love your bags! Thank you, in advance! :)

    1. Hello I purchased a Robinson Double Zip Tote bag (GREEN in colour) from a friend in the US. When I went home and got the chance to check it carefully,there’s a tiny and thin “Made in China” plastic tag inside. Please help! I’m keen to know if there is a possibility that I bought a fake one? I love bags and all of them are authentic. It’s my first time NOT to buy from the shop.
