Style Steal: Prada Tweed Re-Take
October 29, 2005 at 6:27 pm by Designer Ella
The Payless ShoeSource Tweed Pocket Flap, called “Becky”, has enough style to stand on its own. But, no, it is completely based on the Prada Embellished Tweed Bag. Prada’s original is adorable in brown, but has a bit of a rough edge for the schoolgirl feel we like such bags for. Payless’s re-take has less detail, which allows it to not go overboard like its inspiration, yet its lack of fine craftsmanship is apparent in the shoulder strap’s lack of shape (and it doesn’t boast that charming orange ribbon). The original’s shoulder strap is simply too long. The Prada is on sale at Smart Bargains, itself, for $800 (from $1,295). Becky goes for $15 at
Payless.com. You decide for yourselves.
