Jana Feifer vs. Céline: Two Times the Two-Tone Totes

Does Jana Feifer’s tote look oddly familiar to you? That’s because it is. Meet the look-alike of the week! Jana Feifer’s relaxed leather bag is a direct riff on Céline’s “Bi-Cabas” tote. But Céline wasn’t doing anything exactly brand-new in the first place. Simple, north-to-south, two-handled tote bags are as simple and classic as they come, and color-blocking is by no means a novel concept – we’ve taken it right out of the mod sixties.So why spend more when you can spend less? While Céline’s is albeit far more luxe, in rich lambskin with fine stitching and a more structured look (higher-quality leather will do that), but Jana Feifer’s softer, slouchier take in carefree color combinations, is equally agreeable. I say if you love the style, take advantage of this good frugal option – and save your cash for a Céline that can’t be as readily recreated, like the “Luggage Phantom.”Jana Feifer Two-Toned Leather Tote available in White/Orange, Coral/Green, and Orange/Magenta on Elyse Walker for $550.
