Rebecca Minkoff Endless Love Tote: A Balenciaga look-alike

Price: $250.00

Where to Buy: Amazon,

Who Carries it: Emma Roberts,

Bagopedia's Rating: 2 Bags (Out of 5)

Bagopedia's Comment: It is quite often you see a bag that looks like another one. Sometimes the bag just reminds you of another bag. But sometimes they look too similar. Bagopedia isn't sure how much is "look-alike" or how much is a copy. When I saw this Rebecca Minkoff tote, I immediately thought it looks like the Balenciaga tote (Below). The corner leather design, the fringe, the studs, and the stripes.

Did they know the bag they made looks like something has already existed?

See how Emma Roberts carries it:

Bagopeida's Comment: Congratulations Balenciaga! After seeing many years' abuse of your classic Motorcycle bag, you finally come out something new and fresh! This bag is so adorable. Very clear use of color and leather (leather flap and suede body) combination with a trendy front flap design but classic look. Love this bag!

Bagopeida's Comment: Ready for summer holidays? Let's go! You can carry this bag to the tropical islands and don't feel you are carrying a leather tote. The bag is shelled in perforated leather which is amazing! It is lighter weight than a lather bag and soft than a straw bag. You can even carry it through the fall season when the straw bags should be put away. The simple design with Balenciaga elements makes this bag rock hard!

Wow, the Kardashian sisters really are so much alike! They even dress similarly and when they are all together you notice it even more! The 3 sisters Kim Kardashian, newlywed Khloe Kardashian and pregnant Kourtney Kardashian travelled all around Los Angeles yesterday doing errands together and all three sisters were wearing ripped skinny jeans and boots. Both Kourtney and Kim wore white collared shirts and both Khloe and Kim were wearing blazers! We have to say they all stylish!

Rihanna + Balenciaga Brilliant Pouchette Bague


2009.09.27

Ready for a full day of celebrations, Rihanna was spotted out in Venice, Italy over the weekend for the wedding of her longtime manager Marc Jordan.

Looking absolutely stunning, the Barbadian beauty mingled with fellow guests as Jordan exchanged vows with his fiance Katharina Harf in a lovely ceremony.

Rihanna carries a Balenciaga Brilliant Pouchette Bague - Black ($2,675.00 Barneys New York). I have been able to find a lot of photos about Rihanna. She changes bags and carries new bags all the time. For her, attitude come first. I have said that carrying handbags are all about "attitude".

It is always nice to see a modern evening bag. I love the lizard leather and the studded hardware combination. It gives an older-looking skin a modern look. It is wonderful. However, a half full glass is also half empty. The curves of the bag look too modern. It might not look good next year. That means it costs a lot of money every time I carry it.

Comments: Half empty or half full?

Salma Hayek + Balenciaga Arena Giant Brief



2009.09.13

Salma Hayek her husband Francois-Henri Pinault take their daughter Valentina Pinault out for lunch with friends and family on Sunday (September 13) in Malibu, Calif.

Valentina, who turns two later this month, spent some quality time with her dad at Beverly Glen Park on Thursday.

Salma carries a Balenciaga Arena Giant Brief ($1,695.00 Barneys New York). I like the look and the lambskin of the Balenciaga Arena style bags. These bags are light-weight, roomy, and trendy. The snaps are not solid which reduce a lot of weight. But recently Balenciaga has been making a lot of bags that look very similar. That is very confusing. The Giant Brief is the one I like to have. I won't usually consider carrying a Balenciaga Arena style bag to work, but I do feel very comfortable carrying this one. The short handle drop gives the bag a very briefcase look. The depth is ideal- 5", so you don't feel you are carrying a balloon.

Comments: Rockstar style at work

LeAnn Rimes + Balenciaga Arena First Classic



2009.09.03

LeAnn Rimes has lunch with a friends on Thursday (September 3) in Brentwood, California.

Who said money can't buy happiness? LeAnn was spotted smiling by carrying her Balenciaga Arena First Classic bag ($1,195.00 Barneys New York). I just can't say good enough things about this bag. I love the leather and can sleep on it. The leather gets even more beautiful after using it. The only thing to mention is that I will choose to have a larger size one.

Heidi Montag + Balenciaga Crocodile Weekender


Sunday 2009.08.30

Enjoying a delicious meal together, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt were spotted out at a Los Angeles restaurant yesterday afternoon (August 30).

Joined by a guy pal, the “Hills” hotties looked to be in a bit of a tiff as Spencer displayed an angry face and waved his arms around while arguing loudly.

WOW! Heidi carries a midnight blue Balenciaga Weekender in crocodile. This is "The Bag"- a bag lover's dream. I mean, a dream's dream. I will quote it around $23,000 (Balenciaga Special Order Only). I think it is worth it. Don't give a comment yet- let me explain. I have never seen a weekender in crocodile. That is very special. You can see some HERMES Birkin bags in crocodile around or buy on eBay, but this bag you will never see it again. This is one and the only bag. To me this bag way more special than a crocodile Birkin bag. Beside, the scales are pretty small. This is a huge bag. It will need a lot of crocodile skin to cover it. That means they are good quality crocodile skin. Plus, the color is just stunning!

What do you think? This bag or croc Birkin?

Comments: One and the only
