Splurge or Steal

I am in the market for a carmel colored tote that comes with a detachable strap. Currently the Linea Pelle Dylan tote is in the running, but I can’t bring myself to spend $415 on a purse that I don’t need. Here is the alternative I found for only $55.99 at Shop Ruche, which also comes with a detachable strap. What do you think, should I splurge or steal?

{Linea Pelle - $415}

OR

{Shop Ruche Mail Carrier bag -$55}

    go for the steal. while I love the softness of linea pelle leather- it doesn’t hold up well. I have a bag by her that I managed to somehow create a hole in within 3 months of purchase….

      So it turns out it was not as lovely in person as it was online. Back in the mail for a refund!

    I have to say, I bought my LP black leather bag last year on a major sale for like $150 at Lord and Taylor. I have worn it almost everyday since. I know they look totally identical, but I LOVE my LP bag. Check out L&T to see if they have any good bags on sale because they typically have steals!!

      Thanks so much for the tip! I actually ended up not liking the steal options so I will definitely have to check out L&T. I always find great shoe deals on there:)
