Kitty cats, on the left we have Fendi’s luxurious Leather Spy Bag, an accessory that has literally overtaken the celebrity world, having been seen upon the arms of everyone from Jessica Simpson to Hilary Duff, Gwen Stefani to Ashlee Simpson, Kim Kardashian to Ashley Tisdale, and countless others; on the right we have Handbag Heaven’s Classic Secret Agent Bag.Though the Handbag Heaven pretty is constructed out of faux leather, as opposed to real; for just $42.46, in comparison to the $2,250.00 required to take the Fendi home, it is every bit as capable of bringing the frugal fashionista a splash of star style on a budget. Plus, it’s available in six colors (black, red, mustard yellow, pewter, cream, and blue) – so you can style yourself with a different one nearly every single day of the week!
Your turn loves…will you be thrifty or suckered into putting on your spendthrift cap?
Fashionably yours!

Wow, I know I could never afford what Jessica has. I really like the cheaper version of it.
I feel a little conflicted about this one, since it's such an obvious rip off. However, I could never afford the luxe version, so bring on the Handbag Heaven bag!
Love the Fendi!

Great find as always! Have you seen the modekungen.se Alexander Wang inspired bag? It's pretty much identical to the original!
Love the post! xx
Wow, they look the same. I'm all about looks over labels! And I think the mustard colored one sounds very interesting : )
I never realized that I own a wannabee Fendi purse until right now, due my apparent lack of attention to purses. haha I actually have one exactly like the one on the right, and think it's fantastic. :)
Cute cute cute! And I love mustard (the condiment and the color!)
Wish I could be a spendthrift on this one... I worship that Fendi bag!
Hope you are having a lovely Sunday, darling E!

Love the Fendi but you know me I'd go with the cheaper one! :)
I love Fendi!

I'm all about thrift! Especially when so many of the pieces I get the most compliments on are from Target, Ross or Avon! :)
Happy Sunday!

I have a bag just like this! It is my favorite bag. My boyfriend is always like "you always carry that bag!' hahaha
I'm debating what to buy this minute !!
Such a great post!
Awesome tip! Love it.

Ooh, I've always searched for a spy-bag lookaike. Great find!
I draw the line at knock-off bags. Can't do it!
P.S Thank you! You are so sweet =D
I love that it has a similar look without being a complete knock-off. Super cute!

The Fendi one is just gorgeous, but *sigh*, it's a tad too expensive for me.
Oh my goodness, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Fendi one! Very stylish. ♥
ohh wow, it's identical!
Nice post;)
This is a great find. I actually like the cheaper one
Hmmnn... I do love the Fendi but not sure if I would spend that much, plus I love my purses big!

I wouldn't buy the Fendi, but the quality difference in this one is really visible.
I used to want that bag so badly...and now very glad i never bought it considering the alternative
xx
i'd absolutely be thrifty!! the handbag heaven one looks amazing!
Wow, they are so similar. I could never afford the expensive one.. *sigh*
What a cute shape!

Usually,I love saving,but I am in love with the Fendi purse!
I really like both of them but I would buy thar from Handbag Heaven.
The Fendi bag is stunning! I wouldn't go for the cheaper one, only because it'd look too much like a designer knock-off. Nice thrifty find nonetheless! xo
In my dreams I'd carry the Fendi but in real life I'd have to settle for the other :(
I would have to get the real deal. Fendi, all the way. Hope you had a good day.
The cheaper version is FABULOUS and looks just like the expensive one, if not better. :)
Oh, how I wish we could go shopping together. You would save me BUNDLES, I know! Sigh.
love the original Spy bag, but would never have the moolah to buy it! :D
Have you seen the episode of Sex and the City where the girls are in LA and buy fake Fendis and then Samantha mistakes a girl's bag for hers? So funny! Hope your weekend was wonderful!
amazing amazing amazing!

It's way to expensive for what it's actually worth, but dreamy nonetheless!
Best,

Erika,
I thank you very much for your comment on my blog! It made my day to see somebody had commented on my blog after I finally came back home.
I love the Fendi, of course. But hey, if you can get it cheaper somewhere ;)
These are great. The way I want to change out bag, I better go with the cheaper one.
Hey there. I do love that Fendi. Thanks for your comment on my last blog post. It was great hearing from you. I hope all is well with you. I'm looking for a new job, plus I'm thinking about going back to college. Take care. Have a wonderful week ahead!
Aint nothing like real thing!! I've been eyeing the Fendi Spy for ages and I "must" get my hands on one before I turn 30!
If only I could spend that much on the Fendi version! It looks like it's Handbag Heaven for me!
I've been a Fendi fan from the very beggining so I'm gonna stay with the original -- great copy though :)
(Don't know if my previous comment came through; if it did sorry for the double!)
They look similar but there is nothing like that real Fendi bag! The details make it all worth it.
I hate faux leather but the cheapo one is cute!
holy moses look at handbag heaven!! it looks amazing and there's no way i have the wallet for fendi!
you have the best eye for this stuff erika.

In this economy I would probably by Handbag heaven.
http://hippiebar.blogspot.com/
well. if i could i'd like the fendi one ;)xx
Awesome find! I am all over the one from Handbag Heaven.
I'd go with the cheaper version! $2000 on a bag is just a bit out of my price range ;)
xoxo
Oh man, I've loved the spy bag for years now! That is such a great alternative to the real thing. They look so much alike!

I'd definitely go cheap. There is something so reptile-like about the expensive one and I hate me some weird-looking bags. Haha
Thank you for introducing me to this fabulous website!! I didn't purchase this exact bag, but I found two others that I adored. New to your blog, and really loving it!
Bisous!
handbag heaven for sure!
Hmm they both look nice! I think I could go for the cheaper one IF I didn't know it as a Fendi knock-off; otherwise I would just feel fake carrying a "fake purse"!
