Round 1. Who did it better? Who did it first? The two bags below are eerily familiar...
While scouring the collection of the The Museum of Bags and Purses, I came upon a lovely bag from YSL designed by Tom Ford in 2003. I was instantly drawn to it because I remembered seeing something similar before. Well, I found the twin in the latest Valentino collection featured at Neiman Marcus.

Apparently, a love for roses runs in both designers' genes. The similarities are more apparent in the black Valentino version. And the handles and shapes are a bit different. The Valentino is made of leather while the YSL is made of suede.
So which one did you like better?
