Hayden-Harnett Gets Ripped Off

Check it out: Copycats have discovered our fave local small fashion label. In a major, major way. Observe:



On the left you have Hayden-Harnett's extremely cute Iskia link wedge sandal; on the right you have Shoes for Lovely People's (admittedly, also cute) version. Hayden-Harnett is hoppin' mad, justifiably. The H-H originals are only $100 more though. I'd kinda rather spend the extra dough — or wait for one of 'em to go on sale.

Luckily, they have loyal eagle-eyed fashion fans, who also spotted this travesty:



On the left, H-H's awesome Havana hobo, of which I have one (which I LOVE). On the right, a crappy fake-leather version by Bandolino, available at Herzberger (whatever that is), identical down to the tiny studs on the zipper pull. Horbzburger. (Though I kinda dig the turquoise color.) One's $500; one's $66. The Havana is supersoft and lovely — if you don't have a spare $500 laying around, wait for a sample sale. It's worth it.

I just got my first h-h bag and I LOOOOVE it. It is so, so buttery soft and amazing. I feel like a real grown up, for the first time, at 27. Thank you h-h!

p.s. my word verification is "noselift" WHAA?

Gotta comment. I am so loving the HH bag! When is the sample sale? Keep us posted on the date PLEASE!
The knockoff looks cheap, uncomfortable and don't even get me started on the color (can you say puke)...

Lovin HH. Always stick with the originals!

That is so sad! Hayden-Harnett's is MUCH cuter.
