Sticking a giant bow on any accessory is a risk that shouldn't be taken lightly.
Sticking a giant bow on an already huge satchel that's either loudly metallic or patent leather, is probably not the best bet.
And charging $2,000 for that bag would just be ridiculous, since one could only wear it so often before being known as the girl with the giant bow handbag. But if anyone's going to try, and maybe even achieve success with said oversized bag, it would be Valentino.
We're not sure how successful Nine West thought their rip-off would be. Future note to them: There are some accessory details - giant bows, excessive ruffles, textured leather etc - that really do need to be exceptionally well made (read: expensive) to look nice.
Oh, and it's a good thing they remembered that name plate.

they're both fugly. at least with the Nine West one you don't spend a month's rent telling everyone you have bad taste.
