What's up with those Balenciaga Bags?

So you will probably recognize the typical Balenciaga Bag as an accessory of the A-List Celebs out there like Jessica Simpson, Kim Kardashian, Nicole Richie, etc. Well I never really was fond of it until I looked at it up close online. I like the way it can be used as a shoulder bag or an arm bag. I also like that it's not a super stiff bag and it wont be too bulky when you're walking through a crowd.

When I was exploring the Chic Threadz website (http://www.chicthreadz.com/) I found a bunch of these designer inspired handbags (Pink and Green above).  At around $60 it's a fraction of the cost, and I'm not even going to mention the actual price of a genuine Balenciaga bag.  I have heard horror stories from people that bought them over ebay and ended up with a bag that fell apart in a week, or even came to them in shambles. 

So I decided to post a few links for you guys incase you are interested in any designed inspired handbags.  If you look around in the handbag section you'll find a big selection of unique bags that look just like the designer brand they were inspired by.

AND...if you like quilted bags. I found this one to be one of my favorites and it doesn't look "junky" at all like some of the "inspired by" bags.  Makes you wonder what really inspired them?
