Patent Hobo Bags: Marc by Marc Jacobs vs Old Navy

By Anna Hennings

I like to think that a woman cannot have too many bags. Or shoes, for that matter. For the sake of this post, the focus is bags - and to be specific, bags that look like designer purses but really aren't.

My latest find happens to be in the Old Navy sale section. With the colorblock trend still going strong for the seasons ahead, and with a choice between two colors that will easily transition from a fall to a spring wardrobe, this hobo bag is a complete steal. eLUXURY.com carried the Marc by Marc Jacobs version for a whopping $498. Old Navy? Only $15.95!

Why buy this:


Marc by Marc Jacobs Hillier Patent Hobo

Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr. Q Hillier Hobo, Crinkled Patent - $498, eLUXURY

When you could buy this:


OldNavy Patent Hobo Bag

Patent Color-Block Shoulder Bag - $15.95, Old Navy

I think I actually prefer the Old Navy one. Is that bad??

I love Old Navy and stock up whenever I'm in the States, but this bag looks cheap and tacky. Primark could do better! Still, I'm with you on the Marc Jacobs being overpriced thing

this blue and black version of the old navy one is much better and looks a lot like the hillier. i know someone with the hillier and this one, and they look a lot alike in person.
