Yves Saint Laurent vs. Liz Claiborne - Battle of the Patent Totes

Patent totes are going to be big this year... or so I have heard, anyway. Above we have two great totes. On the left, we have the Yves Saint Laurent Medium Downtown Tote in Bouganvill. On the right, we have the Liz Claiborne Bloomfield Patent Tote in Black. These two bags are very similar in size, style, and appearance. In fact, the Liz Claiborne design seems to be mimicking the Yves Saint Laurent one. Coincidence? Probably not. What I like best about these totes is large size. Yes, they are both very roomy on the inside - perfect for work or school! So, depending on your budget...

Here's the specs on each bag:

Yves Saint Laurent Medium Downtown Tote
Patent leather with gold hardware
Double shoulder strap, 7" drop
Front exterior pocket with side snaps
10¼"W X 13¾"H X 9¾"D
Retails for $1,395
Check it out here: Forwarding Entry.jsp

Liz Claiborne Bloomfield Patent Tote
Synthetic patent leather (PVC) with silver-tone hardware
Dual shoulder straps, shoulder drop: 9” length
Front and rear exterior slip pockets
Exterior zip gussets provide expandability
11" wide across bottom (20 " wide across top) x 6" deep x 14" high
Retails for $89

The LC bag looks awkward. Hurray for YSL!
