I am officially blaming the movie "The Hangover" for this because who can forget the scene when Zack Galifianakis and Bradley Cooper are standing by the elevators and Bradley Cooper's character asks why Zack's character is wearing a purse and Zack says, "It's not a purse it's a satchel". WRONG!!! That is not a satchel. Why people are listening to a guy in a movie about what type of silhouette a bag is, is beyond me.
Cross-body bag...
Similar-can be found on Coach.com under cross-body bags
This is a satchel! doctor bag/bowling ball bag shape. No cross-body strap, although there is a shoulder strap.
Next time you are working with an associate and you are looking for something particular describe the style before you attach a name to it because it could be confusing for both of you!
Also, for those of us who HATE* fake designer handbags (or fake designer anything) a word of advice about buying designer bags at a discount online-if the price seems to good to be true generally it is. There are some great sites for finding designer at a discount like hautelook.com or gilt.com but most of these sites require a member id and login which isn't hard to do-you just make it up. A lot of stores/designers will also require you to login through your email address in order to shop their factory stores online. If you are EVER* unsure about whether you're looking at authentic bags on a website call your nearest store or call customer service to see if that website is an authorized dealer of their products. And if the product doesn't look like anything you've seen in the stores or the ads it's probably fake and you should report the website to the company that is being knocked off so they can take action!
Oh, the joys of being in designer retail!
5 days until Christmas!
xoxo
