Juicy Couture Suede Slouch HoboPosted on 5/30/2011 at 10:40 PM - LinkThe only thing Juicy about this bag is the gossip and speculation that should follow. I have actually been a fan of Juicy from the start. But I have noticed quite a few bags that seem to be copied from other brands, and this bag is a blatant mirror image of the Gucci Horsebit Hobo. Only thing lacking is the horsebit detail and the use of suede rather than leather. Now, I must say that Juicy is trying to just fit in. They fit in with their track suits for a while, and now they want a little more attention in the handbag arena. Unfortunately they are drawing attention the negative way. As many of you may remember, in what really grinds my gears, I mentioned that people who take other¡¯s work and ideas just makes me angry. Well here is an example of that. The Juicy Couture Suede Slouch Hobo is actually a nice looking bag. The bulk of the bag is slouchy and fun with its added logo medallion. When I was at Neiman Marcus last night, the shoulder strap with rings is what really started screaming out to me, ¡°I¡¯m a copy, I¡¯m a copy!a€? Maybe I am being harsh, maybe there are only so many styles to make- if so, you can all set me straight. But I sure do have a problem with this bag (which is trying to resemble my Horsebit Hobo oh-so-badly!!). The hardware on this bag is silver metal, the bag is an open top, and the colors available are either chocolate or camel with tonal leather trim. Don¡¯t get me wrong, this bag is cute, but it sure is looking like it is messing with a different designer brands drawing book. You could also look at it in the way that you can get a bag similar to the Gucci Horsebit Hobo, for a third of the price. This bag is available through Nieman Marcus for $475.Juicy Couture China C SatchelPosted on 5/30/2011 at 5:08 AM - LinkJuicy Couture has found its way onto the Purse Blog love list. Prices of their bags are very manageable and the girls behind Juicy Couture have started to design logo-free leather bags that are entirely cute. The last bag from the Juicy Couture team that we adored was the Juicy Couture Gossip Hobo. And now I have found a chic satchel, the Juicy Couture China C Satchel, which is another pleasant surprise from the Juicy team. This is a simple but usable satchel, with pleated leather and the only remnant reminding you of Juicy Couture is the removable iconic charms. There are the options of double handles or a removable shoulder strap. Measurements are 14¡åW X 9?¡±H X 3?¡±D. And just in time for Valentine¡¯s Day, there is the light paradise pink version or for a more day-to-day use there is black. Buy through Saks for $350.
