Emilio Pucci vs Etsy Python Passport Cover

As I’m getting ready to head out of the country (destination: Playa del Carmen!) the search is on for new travel gear, especially a passport cover. The one I use currently is a bright yellow one by Furla, but for some reason doesn’t really fit my passport. I know, it’s odd. It’s like I have to stuff it in. So it’s time to retire that one and search for a new. I’m not too picky when it comes to small accessories, except that it must be in some color-popping shade. I can’t help it, I love intense neons! So when I saw the neon Fluo Pink Emilio Pucci Python passport cover it was pretty much love at first sight.

The Emilio Pucci Passport Cover from the latest Cruise 2012 collection is made of Vietnam python with an interior lined with lamb leather and featuring two inner sleeves. Retails for $350.

On another note, if you love the look of the exotic passport case but don’t care if it’s from a specific designer house, then check out Etsy. I found this look-for-less from seller mrhanz for $79. Sure they may look similar on the outside but what’s inside counts too. This L4L on Etsy features 4 card slots on the inside for those of you who don’t want to carry your passport and wallet together when traveling in the airport.

Which would you pick? Would you go for the designer house or look-for-less?
