Sunday Steals: Rebecca Minkoff Supernova Stud Devote Handbag for Less

Darlings, to your left you will find Rebecca Minkoff’s stellar Supernova Stud Devote Handbag, the very same design seen dangling from the arm of Molly Sims, Lauren Conrad, and Whitney Port; to your right you will find the haute High Fashion Handbags Studded Shopper with Buckles.

While the High Fashion Handbags pretty is constructed out of manmade materials as opposed to the true leather of the Minkoff marvel; for just $39.90, in comparison to the petrifying $695.00 price tag of Rebecca’s ravishing tote, it is every bit as satisfying to the handbag collection of the frugal fashionista – and allows for the budget babe to pick up all three colors (black, cognac, and red) for under $120.00!

Are you having a tightwad moment darlings, or are you plagued with a craving to splurge?


Fashionably yours!

Ohh the rebecca Minkoff is tempting but the look for less is just to similar to not take the steal!

PS - I e-mailed you my info! :D

Jessica said...

While this particular style isn't exactly "me," I'd have to say that the splurge is probably worth it. Even in photos, the leather looks luxe!

Style Eyes said...

On this one occasion I think I would rather the more expensive version. It looks a bit more structured. Unfortunately I can't afford it at the moment!

that's a lovely bag replica !
almost exact actually !

Joanne said...

I'd have to splurge on this one. If handbags aren't fabric, only leather will do for me. I'll have to watch my budget this week!

Emily said...

to be honest, I like the wallet-friendly bag better! :)

Tayebug said...

I love this post. Is this a regular sunday post? I hope so!!

Winnie said...

I'm constantly amazed at your finds, this one is so good!

Krysten @ Why Girls Are Weird said...

I'm a tightwad this time around, I just like the bag better.

Love both versions, though I'm always wary about cheaper versions of bags falling apart. But this is definitely a great alternative if you're on a budget!

Jen Hsieh said...

i think i'd have to go with the rebecca minkoff in this case (if only i could actually afford it!) :)

Leia said...

I think Ms Minkoff's creation has stolen my heart today!

Couture Carrie said...

I love Rebecca Minkoff bags! but yes, like you said, the price tag can be a tad scary. That's a great alternative that you've featured, you have such a great eye for deals Erika! Hope you had a lovely weekend xo

I have to go for the steal! I would love to get that bag in red :)

Tiffany Kadani said...

I love the look of the cheaper version. I am more of a shiny kind of gal. The other expensive one looks too matte for me.

Rachel @ The Haute Notes said...

Handbags are the one thing I always seem to splurge on, so I just don't think I can resist that Rebecca Minkoff!

Christina said...

they both look like great purses, i would go for the cheaper one, no one will know haha :))

Connie @ SogniESorrisi said...

I do love the original but the steal is a great price--and very similar looking!

joana said...

love the bags

stylenuggets said...

Would love to own the Minkoff!

Clare said...

I actually like the cheaper one better!! It is so edgy. I would be so cool if i owned that bag hehe

la petite fashionista said...

I really like the soft leather look of the rebecca minkoff bag; gotta love the studs!

Francy said...

I think the splurge is definitely a good deal. It's very similar to the original!

Oh, great pick, Erika! I really like the Rebecca Minkoff original however I wish that it had a more secure fastening for the main compartment -- open handbags make me feel very insecure :(

Keith said...

They both look fantastic, but I do think the Rebecca one looks better. I don't have the money to afford it, but it would definitely be a wonderful gift for the right girl.

Nancie said...

both look good.... http://www.fashionablenotebook.blogspot.com

Fashion Court said...

Maddy said...

The Rebecca Minkoff is soooo pretty! You know I'm a sucker for handbags :) It's the one item I don't mind splurging on!

Cindy Whitehead said...

I love the Rebecca Minkoff (-:

ediot said...

SabinePsynopsis said...

I love your find, Erika, but this time it would have to Rebecca or nothing for me!

BonBon Rose Girls Kristin said...

I can't resist a Minkoff. Loooooove that one!

Caitlin @ Candyfloss & Persie said...

cheaper one! I don't think they look that different... and I can do some manmade action

J. said...

I love RM's work but you certainly pay for it! So, for $39.90, I will be thrifty!
