i went in today to check the designers for targets collection and found this (i didnt take this photo, but I saw these bags):
seems like a cheap ps1 knock-off, but dude, i've been wanting the ps1 for like 2 years, maybe it'd be worth it to get something less than 5% of the price tag even if it's not real leather or whatever. idk, should i get it? would you get it? |

I wouldn't. One of my biggest pet peeves is people who buy knock offs. I feel like you shouldn't try to keep up with everyone else if you can't afford to.

i hear everyone can afford nice designer stuff and if you aren't rich you don't deserve to look good and should use plastic bags for purses and wear rags because it's affordable

:( i can afford the ps1, i just don't think spending over 1k on a bag is a good investment

Truth. I think that it's more important to buy quality over quantity though. A lot of the people that I know who have incredible style, don't have big closets. They just invest in a piece that they know will last them for years to come.

the average person is not able to afford $1500-2000+ purses but if you can or you're able to save, good for you. i love the ps1 but it's spending beyond my means, i would rather save up for a macbook first.
i don't like that one from target as much as the topshop... and guess who placed an order last week for brown :3 |

it's about the same size. it looks a little bigger, but i think its because yours is all wrapped up and mine's all loose and stuff. the ones at targets are even bigger.
were you wanting it to be bigger or smaller? |

How is the quality of the stuff at topshop? This guy at my job swears by them, and his whole wardrobe is from there.

bigger, big enough that it'd be able to fit a med notebook inside. are you getting the one from target? how did quality feel?

yep got the one from target. it's vinyl/leather lookalike, not leather, and it sort of smells weird, but i'm hoping that'll go away after i put my stuff in it and use it for a while. it's mossimo so the quality isn't great, but it's not like it's going to fall apart anytime soon. it's also only $39, so what do you expect, right? =/ it is very big though (it can probably fit my laptop) and the strap is good. the asos wasn't adjustable and the strap was too long, so i had to shorten it myself.

How is the quality of the stuff at topshop? This guy at my job swears by them, and his whole wardrobe is from there. i just visited the store in nyc, it's pretty amazing. 3 floors for girls, 1 downstairs for men's. i only wish their prices weren't so high (they're pricey to ME) oh well, i guess we'll keep buying/finding lookalikes until we either find the perfect replica vs. real. WOW bal for $875 http://www.inanyc.com/collections/women/pr...eam-leather-bag |

Yeah that is what I heard about topshop too. I remember one time I wanted this blazer from there, but they didn't have my size and I was almost in tears.

man, problem with places that cell designers for cheap is that it's usually the old castoffs or factory stuff that doesn't look that great, but people jump on it anyway because of the brand name.
still. i'm promising myself never to buy anything over $300 ever again, including shoes and bags and accessories. until i have a great job and have all the money to spare. |
