That, Not This

I recently spent an inordinate amount of time
on the Hermes website. Completely drawn to tassels,
I found myself contemplating THIS:

Carmen Key Holder
$200.00 @ Hermes.com

Fortunately, a quick and curious Google search
led me to THAT, instead:


Two's Company Leather Tassel Key Chain
$11.00 @ Juvie.com

For $189.00 less,
You can get with this,
or you can get with THAT,
I think you'll get with THAT,
cause, THAT is where it's AT!!!

I've learned that there is always a copy. Everyone is copying everyone else. It's the hunt that makes it fun. Good catch!

Stacey said...

Great hunt:-). and i love the assortment of colours.

Kim@Chattafabulous said...

Your google search was time well spent. I love a bargain, especially a beautiful one!

Fashion, Art and other fancies said...

Those key holders are very nice indeed.
I have quite a few key holders from Tiffanys.

style'n said...

yes go with "that" and not "this" They are so similar!

Scientific Housewife said...

Haha, I can't believe a tassel keychain could be $200!

Café Bellini said...

I like Hermes but their stuff is seriously so overpriced. Sigh. Thanks, by the way, for your supportive comment re: what happened to my car. It was great to hear from you and all the others. Really. Thank you.

Diana Mieczan said...

That is a great find and I would go with the $11 for sure!!!! Love them:)

Kisses,sweetie:)

ps: I hope you had a change to enter my GIVEAWAY!!!

chichunters said...

Hermes makes the best stuff!

Connie @ SogniESorrisi said...

I'm all about THAT! Or is it THIS?! The $11 anyway!

domestikatedlife.com said...

So cute. I remember babyitting for a family friend in Bedford growing up (right by pound ridge!) and the mom always had extra sets of keys on tassels she got from the fabric store -- I thought she was so chic!

Sydney -- PetiteGorgeous said...

Great finds!

If you haven't done so, I hope you will enter my giveaway of a $50 gift card to the Cheesecake Factory :).

Audrey Allure said...

Wow, SO much cheaper & they're so cute!

Beadboard UpCountry said...

Love the Hermes one.....Maybe the fullness?????But you could get three of these and put them togather? Maybe?????? good research Maryanne ;)

Shelley Ann said...

im really glad you found one for cheaper! $200 for a key ring?! outrageous!

Dobbygirl said...

Fab! $11 version for sure! I've been spending way to much time on the Hermes site too - I just love the illustrations. I am lusting after the bangles...someday...

Kelle Dame said...

Ow that hurts! $200!!! Who?? How?? Is it made of gold? I love the white one!

Anna Walker said...

They're cute, and I believe it costs that much because of the Designer Label! They can do what they want. ha

Leah said...

Love these! So cute!

Valerie said...

I love tassels right now too and who could beat $11?? I want one! Great find.

Jammer said...

Oh my! Hermes means business!! Great find on the $11 tassel! But, I can still dream of a day when I can drop $200 on key chain, right? :)

And, be sure to check out the giveaway going on at my blog! :)

shari @ little blue deer said...

I LOVE Hermes, LOVE! My favorite luxury brand. And would you believe I found a knockoff Bottega Veneta bag at Goodwill last weekend? How crazy is that, normally I would never ever carry a knockoff, but this one actually isn't too bad. XO!

Cat said...

Brilliant find my dear! A sure way NOT to lose your keys to the bottom of your bag and it will keep your keys looking stylish!

Josie said...

What a perfect find! I'm forever losing my keys in oversized bags.

Saara @ GEORGE Interior Design said...

oh to be able to spend $200 on a keychain...probably won't happen to me in my lifetime! :) the tassels are pretty cute though!

LindsB said...

I have a love hate relationship with Hermes, love their stuff, hate their pices. Ahh, I guess thats the life of luxury :)

Kathysue said...

Crazy, crazy, Isn't it amazing what a signature name does to the price tag even on a common item like a key chain. I like to think we are a more intelligent and practical people than to fall for that one. Good for you for finding an alternative, you are a smart girl!!! Kathysue

paula said...

these are darling.

Susie @ Maddie's Nest said...

Oh fun....since my keychain just lost the ball that holds the keys on....for the 2nd time....I think I am in the market for a new style!

Sarah said...

ah so cute! but the Hermes price is insane!! big fan, but i must admit i'd have to go for the cheaper version- great find! xx

THE ALTERNATIVE WIFE said...

Love it! Adore the Hermes but I'd have to go with THAT too :)

Jacqueline said...

I like how you think Zhush...at the end of the day, we are the only ones who know it's a THAT instead of a THIS, right?

Mademoiselle Poirot said...

Are they really $200 pretty? Mais non! Seriously, even if I was that rich, I hope I'd never lose sight of the real world that much...I think I'd rather donate the money to charity Love from London x PS: Yep, that shelf really is in my kitchen with all my little (some vintage) treasures on it ;-)

alison (semi-fab lane) said...

that price difference is crazy-but it is hermes. love that song btw, and now thanks to you i can't get it out of my head!

and flowers pick themselves said...

oooh, too cute! i love the blue ones.

xo Alison

Bringing Pretty Back said...

The 11 dollar one is much more in my price range! But... maybe I wouldn't lose my keys so much if I had the 200 dollar one! heehee!

Averill said...

Good find! I gotta say though, I can't believe Hermes is selling a TASSEL for $200!!

pilcuis said...

they are too cute to be real :)

Sarah B said...

I know I'm mad but I do like the chubbiness of the Hermes one. A girl can dream...

Juvie said...

Thanks for finding us! We love these key rings too. And I just wanted to mention that these also ship for free.

Kimmy said...

$200 is a bit pricey for a tassel keyring. I think the $11 number would suffice!
Nice find.

Marcus Design said...

Tassles are fab!! I love the Hermes one, but can't pay that price. Plus I'd probably buy a scarf from Hermes if I had that money any how! 11 bux I can do! I love the pops of bold color.

drollgirl said...

BAH! well i think we know which one is affordable!

someday i will own something buy hermes. someday. until then, i have to make due with their beautiful catalogues!

CDS said...

Great great great find! Those are so pretty! I was on the Hermes website last night and got sucked into their enamel bracelets. xo

Roger said...

Hermes is where it's at. Drop the two bills. It's worth it. Especially in the cerulean blue.

a lovely being said...

hehehe -- so clever. I could (and quite often do) spend hours on the hermes website. it's just all so beautiful!

Style Chronicle said...

A great site to get lost in I have a gift card from Hermes and I just can't decide what extravagant "pretty" to pick!!

Charlotta Ward said...

You're hilarious! Love it!

I agree that one can get quite lost in love over at Hermes.. I was drooling over wrap around watches the other day, trying to work out how I can make it seem ok for me to just buy one.. :)

x C

P.s. Just sent you two emails. x

Sarah said...

good to see if searched for a lesser option although I know it's hard to resist splurges.

jules @ The Diversion Project said...
