Imitation is...

 

 

  J. Crew's Edie Attaché Bag ($288.00, currently 20% off)

  Prada's Saffiano Flap Tote Bag ($2990.00, available at Saks)

I like the original -- the Prada bag -- more. The style is structured, but not boxy, with a hue and shape you could wear for years without tiring of it. But, for the price, the Edie bag would make a similar statement, and that's the deciding factor for most of us.

Am I right?
