Okay, this is getting a bit close for comfort.

Not that I don’t groove to dropping $1200 at Bergdorf Goodman for a SALE Chloe black vinyl trench coat…I mean, the salesgirl didn’t have a pistol pointed at my temple or anything….I gladly forked over the cash (feeling rather self satisfied to have scored the item ON SALE).

Boom.

So, I’m strolling through TARGET and spy what appears to be—THE EXACT SAME black vinyl trench coat (even the lining is identical) by Mossimo. Sure, the label is different, and Mossimo’s sports snaps instead of buttons (which, by the way, are falling off my $1200 variety…..)….but–YOU DECIDE.

Mossimo (sounds a tad similar to Moschino, but hey, what do I know) is one of Target’s house brands. They also sport: Xhiliration (junior line of clothing), Merino (must have ‘offed’ Issac Mizrahi since he is nowhere to be found) and their trendy ‘GO’ line which features more cutting edge fashion forward selections.

P.S. the one at Target is $17.99

Okay, racing for the exit to appease my nasty 19 year old son, I spied a red mini Paddington at the Takashimaya Chloe first floor (ground for our beloved clientele in Japan) counter. Holy Shrunken Bags, Batman, this baby was teeeeeeny. (And expensive. Perhaps even more so than it’s Pumped Up Cousin.) Whew.

NEXT, dateline: L.A…..again, the Shrinky Dinks version of the Chloe bag du jour. This is like a bad ’60’s sci fi thriller. Remember ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE? (no, neither do I…..)
