Knock-Offs...

I am on another obsession.... Knock-offs (again). I don't know exactly what I want but I am on the look out. I found a few by Googling... This one is cool. Someone else is trying to make one here, too. I did buy two big skeins of RH in 'Soft White' for this bag today...There's the Counterfeit Crochet Project. With a tutorial (not really a pattern, per say..) on how she did the Quilted Brown Chanel purse. I love this Saks bag!! That might be easy to do... Here's another one... it's not *me*, but someone out there might like it... I do like this one I found online at Bloomingdales. (I could almost make my car payment with the price of that one!!) I am currently making The Crochet Dude's 'Chic on the HalfShell'. (I think this one might be a knock-off of something... I don't know...) I bought the pattern for 'Spring and Summer Drew-strings Purses', too. Well stay tuned for knock-off bags, too. ;p

That Sak circle bag is very interesting! Did you view the blue multi, I love it...wish I had time to make one...

Yes, actually, the blue one is the one I meant to link to. I like that one almost better than the brown. It *pops* more than the brown.... Is it like a 'Free Form' crochet? I don't know if I would be able to do it. I like the one at Bloomingdale's (not as much as the Saks one, though...) but that one would be easier to make into a Knock-off for me. Don't you wish you had the money to just buy one and then copy it at home? lol

I also think the circle design is much easier to imitate...just wish I had time!
If i could buy the original, I would need to buy a whole new set of clothes and shoes too :p Or maybe make a fashion statement of having one accessory that stands out, while the rest of my stuff are ordinary ;)
