Have all of you seen ‘Red Riding Hood’? Is it any good? I wasn’t able to catch it.

Now, speaking of the movie, its lead star Amanda Seyfried, the IT girl, was spotted constantly fashioning a strappy purse last month. Check out these pictures:

What do you think of the bag? Kind of grunge-looking, right? And very strappy indeed. That’s Alexander Wang’s $945 ‘Kirsten’ suede tote:

I tried to find a more affordable alternative to this expensive piece but couldn’t locate an exact knockoff. However, there is a less expensive option available.

It’s a pebbled leather handbag with fringe, looped fringe, and buckle details at the front, an oversized pintuck at the woven top panel, and pleating at the bottom:
