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!!!

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

    ReplyDelete

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

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

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

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

    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.

    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!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Great finds!

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

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

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  30. 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...

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  33. Love these! So cute!

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

  35. 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! :)

  38. 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!

    ReplyDelete
  39. 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!

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

  41. 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!

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

    ReplyDelete
  43. 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

  44. these are darling.

    ReplyDelete
  45. 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!

    ReplyDelete
  46. 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

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

    ReplyDelete
  48. 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?

    ReplyDelete
  49. 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 ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  50. 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!

    ReplyDelete
  51. oooh, too cute! i love the blue ones.

    xo Alison

    ReplyDelete
  52. 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!

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

    ReplyDelete
  54. they are too cute to be real :)

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

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

  57. $200 is a bit pricey for a tassel keyring. I think the $11 number would suffice!
    Nice find.

    ReplyDelete
  58. 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.

  59. 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!

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

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

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

  63. 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!!

    ReplyDelete
  64. 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.. :)

    P.s. Just sent you two emails. x

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

    ReplyDelete
