Save or Splurge

Should I splurge:

The Prada Double zipped Saffiano Tote for circa $2k. Calf Leather and super luxe, so gorgeously classic, it'd be safe to assume this'll last you through your lifetime. But there's a massive waitlist in David Jones they tell me and I might not have a chance with the popular colours before the next price increase. *Gulps*

Or save with:

DKNY's Saffiano work shopper tote for $420 from David Jones? It looks the same, functions the same, but it is lighter in weight (not to mention easier on the wallet). It is available rightaway.

But it is DKNY versus Prada! Is there even any comparison to be made?

If you don't get it, then you are playing for Team Mr.HEA, but in his absence, I'd love to hear your thoughts to help keep me grounded. Or enable me...

Patience isn't quite my strongest virtue though I warn you, I might end up going nuts trying my best to not cave in.

Out with the old, in with the new

I bought this Pomme vernis key pouch way back when I lived in a unit and had a swipe card to carry around. But nowadays, living in a house, I don't really need a pouch very much anymore. It was time to move on.

 It's served me well, but this Fuschia number has my attention now. My very first Prada. What have I begun?

After all, we all know the Devil wears Prada.
