\"gustto-fiore-balna-tote\"I like the look of this Gustto bag: The color and the hardware are beautiful. However, I’m not so sure about the embossed paisley.\u00a0 Whenever I see paisley, I’m always thinking of the word “old” and “grandma”.\u00a0 Maybe my style is too minimalistic, since I rarely like anything with a pattern, unless\u00a0it is absolutely fabulous. I know Gustto has a plainer version<\/a> (without the embossed paisley) of this model.<\/p>\n

This bag measures 17″W x 10.5″H x 4″D, big enough for carrying your essentials plus some more.\u00a0 The shoulder strap is always a nice option when you need both of your hands. For the quality, Gustto bags are really well made, just like the other contemporary designers.<\/p>\n

You can buy Gustto Fiore from Bloomingdale’s<\/a> for $645.<\/p>\n

\"gucci-hysteria\"<\/p>\n

Now, as for the similarity with Gucci Hysteria, I wouldn’t say that they are identical twins, but they are definitely\u00a0fraternal twins, don’t you think?\u00a0 The shillouete, the hardware, the handles, and the detachable shoulder straps are very similar.\u00a0 The Gucci Hysteria is a little bit smaller than the Gustto Fiore.\u00a0 It measures only 15″L x 11.4″H.<\/p>\n

I prefer the Gustto hardware\u00a0over the\u00a0Gucci because t looks cleaner without the logo.\u00a0 However, I like the pleats on the Hysteria better.<\/p>\n

The Gucci Hysteria retails for $1,695, it is $1,050 more than the Gussto.\u00a0 I would definitely choose the Gussto since I’m not brand obsessed.\u00a0 I will gladly wear the lesser brand as long as it has good quality, but I would avoid\u00a0Target look alikes.\u00a0 Which one would you choose?<\/p>\n
