Bag Battles: Azzedine Alaia vs. Jimmy Choo

Alaia Leopard Tote, $4770. Jimmy Choo Gaia Leopard Tote, $2295. Both via Net-a-Porter.

Much to my eternal delight, leopard print is going absolutely nowhere. It came on strong as an accessories pattern last fall, however the pattern has been falling in as well as out of favor for decades as well as it’s right here to stay as long as fashion’s like for maximalism stays strong. In fact, the amount of leopard that’s surfacing for autumn 2011 may be an all-time high for the contemporary fashion industry.

Assuming that you’re still in to leopard, that means you’ve got some accessories decisions to make. natural or grey? satchel or tote? partially leather or all haircalf? Alaia Leopard satchel or Jimmy Choo Gaia Leopard as well as leather Tote? Personally, I’ll pick Alaia every day, all day, however take a look at the larger photos as well as pricing info after the jump before you let us understand which style wins this Bag Battle.
