Kate Spade “Your Designer Handbag is Fakeâ€?
Would you ever call anyone out for carrying a replica designer bag? Mrs. Kate Spade would….

In a recent interview with NYTimes, Kate Spade revealed her most recent encounter with a Kate Spade fan carrying a fake designer handbag. “I knew all the bags that were on the street, and this one I didn’t know had hit the street yet, but I knew it wasn’t real. I’m telling you, I was across the street and I could tell.” she said. So what did Kate do next? She walked on over to the lady and asked, “Where did you get that?” The woman instantly recognized the designer. “She was like, ‘Oh, my God, you’re Kate Spade!â€? And what was her reasoning for sporting a fake designer purse? “She said, ‘Oh I didn’t buy it, my husband did,’” said Kate. Hah! I’m sure that’s what they all say… blame it on someone else.

Urban Outfitters Slouchy Duffle Tote
It has been years since I have stepped into Urban Outfitters, but while on a shopping extravaganza adventure I stumbled into this store and discovered the Slouchy Duffle Tote. It’s a totally inexpensive route if you want that everyday chic tote.

The oversized purse is designed with an allover embossed texture body, with a wide mouth at the top and a zipper closure so your goodies don’t fall out. The bag’s interior is fully lined with 2 patch pockets and a zippered pocket. Pictured above in the vibrant color yellow, but also available in chocolate brown, black, and smoky grey.

Wondering how much this bag is going to set you back? Here’s a shocker, only $48! Why so inexpensive? It’s made of PVC aka plastic. I just wish it was available in leather.
