Ok, so maybe the title of this post is a bit of an oxymoron. Affordable is no where near an accurate description of a Hermès bag. How about legendary, brilliant, classic, timeless, stunning, well crafted...now those are all proper words to describe a Hermès handbag. Enough of that. Let's talk about Marco Tagliaferri, the designer who's causing a frenzy among many fashionistas. MT has designed a 100% leather Hermès look-a-like. With its slouchy and less structured appearance this bag is beginning to pull on my "purse strings" (aka money). The price is significantly less than its couture friend. How much less? Well I am glad you asked. How about $535. Now that's better than forking over $20,000 for a handbag.
Be not fooled though! As hot as this little gem is, only time will tell if can stand up against the iconic Hermès. My vote is to start saving up to purchase this bag and then I will persuade my future Snookums to buy me a real Hermès. That way I can compare the two. I hope Snookums is saving up his chips!
