Do You Know Your High Street From Your Designer? #2

So how did you do before? I was definitely fooled and I knew which was which right from the start!

We've got another one today to see if you really do need to spend infinite amounts of money in order to look good or if you can pass off with the best buys at bargain prices.

It's a brown leather satchel this time. A lov ely shoulder bag, both with an envelope style flap over the top and a central buckle with two belt-style fastenings. The only difference is, £1650 - not the sort of money that can be thrown about when it's not necessary. 

Ok, one is from Proenza Schoulder and costs £1685 and one is from Atmos&Here and costs a mere $36 AUD. But the question is, which is which?

Did you guess? Well infact, the first bag is from Atmos&Here and is in the sale, reduced from $59.94 and the second, lighter brown, bag is the designer satchel from Proenza Schoulder at an eye-watering £1685!

It goes to show, designer isn't always nice and...is there really much difference besides the price tag and shade of brown?

Do You Know Your Designer From Your High Street? #1

Think you can tell a designer piece worth hundreds, if not thousands, of pounds against a high street piece worth just a tiny fraction of the cost? Lets see.

One of these peplum dresses is by Altuzarra and costs £1250, and one is from Jane Norman and costs a slightly cheaper £40.

However, which is which?

With a difference of £1210, the dress on the left is the high street one and the right is designer and ridiculously expensive. Lucky for me, I prefer the Jane Norman one too!

It just shows that designer is not always better and you can always find a cheaper alternative. Nobody would hardly ever know the difference.
