    Daisy Fuentes inspired-by the Chanel Cabas Bag

    By · On May 18, 2009


    Oh Daisy! When I visited Kohls today I was left in shock by your new remake of the popular, once referred to as the “Trash Bag” by Chanel. (The Trash Bag name was given by many in reference to the oversized unstructured high-gloss black patent vinyl version which debut back in Fall 2006).

    Daisy isn’t the first (is it okay to refer to her as a designer?) to remake the design – Baby Phat, bebe, and forever21 are a few design brands that added the style to their collections. What’s the similarities? Not only is the oversize unstructured shape and cut of the bag identical, but check out the straps. Daisy replicated Chanel’s famous signature short chain hand-held straps.

    side note:

    Need help locating the Chanel Cabas? Browse the Chanel Cabas on eBay. There are tons of amazing deals.

    The Daisy Fuentes look-for-less is available at Kohls where it’s on sale for $34.

    What do some of you, dear BB readers think of Daisy Fuentes’ version?

      All her bags are inspired-by. Really sad.

    • gabbie

      I was never a fan of the trash sack… and I am surprised that she would replicate it.

    • Fiona

      I would not spend $30 on that. It belongs in the trash, lol.

    • bee.

      I love the leather cabas, but the vinyl was looked like a rubbish sack.

      What were you thinking Daisy Fuentes?!

    • kalesina

      Definitely inspired-by!

    • jessica lovlus

      I think this is a total look-for-less. I probably would never buy this, but I think it’s perfect for those who can’t afford designer handbags. I honestly think it’s better than buying a replica.

      ^^^^^
      I agree about having inspired-by bags is a good idea / a subsitution for those thinking about buying a fake.

      However, Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t it discovered that she used child labor!!! Isn’t that as bad as counterfeit handbags.

    • Pareky

      This is such a joke, lol. I can’t believe DF would copy Chanel.

    • steph

      .. and it’s 50% off.And still nobody’s buying it.

    • Zambre

    • KINDER.KATE

      You guys are being so harsh. I think this tote is really adorable, something I would buy. I’m not really that into chanel, but I think this bag is cute.

      “Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t it discovered that she used child labor!!! Isn’t that as bad as counterfeit handbags.”

      She wasn’t “discovered” to using child labor. The Guatamalan company that Kohl’s used to make the clothes were running a sweatshop (not child labor). Kohl’s and Daisy did not know anything about it. When they found out, Kohl’s pulled all the clothes that came from that particular company and they insisted the company did right to its employees. Kohl’s wasn’t the only one that used this company there were others. The guatamalan shop promised that it would make changes.
