New Purse Carrier CeceKent Knockoff 4 Attachment(s) I finally got the bag last evening. It's a Cece Kent knockoff bag with a zipper added to the back of the bag. It was 1/2 the price of an original but I have to say, there were plenty of boo boos. But considering, I'm getting what I paid for...although, after a trip this week, I may take this prototype back and ask them to fix the errors as they are inconvenient...such as a quick escapee for one! The ventilation holes were put too low, they didn't include the discreet flap on top, AND it's not even black, the color I asked for! Honestly, I've got shoes this color so not too big of a problem. Also, I don't care for the fabric inside and the bag was made a little taller and the straps placed a little lower, haha The mesh suede...a bit hot. Also a big problem is the outside pocket isn't deep, causing the bag to pooch out when I put a few things into the bag. Like I mentioned already, I hope to go back after our trip and see if they'll make a new bag correcting the errors. ;0) |
2 Attachment(s) Here's a picture of the original and the top of the knock off bag. Now i have to find a summer bag because this bag is heck a hot for furrybaby! |
The straps look pretty short...do they fit over your shoulder or do you have to carry it on your arm? |
I can wear the bag over my shoulder and love where it hits my waist. I think it can be easily fixed if they shave off a 1/2 inch from the top lip and redo the outside zipper pocket to be deep. I really did want the discreet flap but realistically, where we live, no one would think I have a leather dog purse carrier anyway and it'll just be so hot. I just think that they should make me the flap, just in case I need it. I can live with the color, I like the front of the bag, the zipper pocket in the back. Not so sure about the suede mesh, I see there's already a hole as a break between two holes...may have happened when furrybaby was in the midst of one of the escapes. I fixed one side to stay permanently closed with a metal loop, not very noticeable and just need some sort of clip for the zipper to put threw the mesh to close it secure. Once these things are taken care of, it'll be almost perfect. I just put a baby receiving blanket in the bottom so the ventilation holes aren't covered up. |
It's very cute! They did a great job. I hope they are able to fix things for you. |
I took the purse back on Monday and told them of all of the problems with the bag. They'll either make me a new one or fix this one. They assured me it was a prototype and they made it in a hurry because I had a trip. 10 days to a month for the new one and I'm willing to wait! |
I think it looks nice! They have a future in sales if they can fix things and they owe you a commission :). I just broke down hubby and got the Kent. I'm going to have to cook a lot of meals this next month. :) |

Great. I hope they work out all the kinks |
Finally Finished: Cece Kent Knock Off 4 Attachment(s) The final product, which I love...however, missing 3 things: 1. I forgot to ask for a small leather strap to wrap around the straps to keep them together...will have to go back for that. 2. It's missing a tether...need to improvise or do something so furrybaby can't run off if in the purse. 3. they forgot to put ventilation holes on the other side! YIKES! Hope there's enough air with this purse without them. After they told me the hole machine would make marks on the bag to fix it, I told them I would try it and if it doesn't work, I'll bring it back. I think he'll need them because it's pretty warm here. Took forever but this is a gorgeous purse! In reality, I only saved 1/3 of the price of an original but the original really isn't available in my area and I think this may be better...where I live, there's no one that would think I had a dog in my purse. :thumbup: |

That is a designer inspired bag. Not a knockoff. Whoever made it for you likely tweaked the specs some as to not be committing a crime. They are both nice looking bags. I would like to get the cece Kent bag but can only find the Taos online and not the Charles. |
That is a beautiful bag! |
