If one celebrity can handle the fierceness of a leopard print day in and day out, it would be Khloe Kardashian.
She recently joined her sister, Kourtney Kardashian, to promote “Dollhouse,” a semi-autobiographical novel they co-authored with Kim Kardashian. Released in 2011, the book delves into the glamorous and complex world of a family in the spotlight.
Available on Amazon, it draws inspiration from some of the real-life experiences of the Kardashian sisters, known for their fame in reality television and influence in the fashion and entertainment industries.

Every time I look at her, I see someone who is simply bold and willful. She has that aura, that persona, that vibe, that look, and she can work the leopard as she owns it.

Of late, the taller Kardashian has been spotted toting a leopard-printed satchel several times during the past couple of months. Not exactly a surprise. After all, she is the type who would go for such a piece.

Now, I know some of you may probably be fed up with this print, but I couldn’t help featuring it again. Why not when Khloe is rocking it oh-so fabulously?
Anyway, I researched and discovered that the bag is from Givenchy’s Spring 2011 Collection, called the Antigona leopard print duffle bag. Oh, and yeah, being an authentic Givenchy bag, it retails at $1,780.

So what do you think? Now, where to find this particular print in a regular store is a different matter. Usually, the Antigona is only available in classic solid colors.

That said, seeing the print cross over to spring and summer is actually quite interesting. I mean, it was quite overexposed last fall, so I didn’t think an extension would happen.
I guess I was dead wrong. Now, if you like the Antigona but don’t like its designer price tag, here’s a very qualified substitute, the Cole Haan Tantivy haircalf jade bag at Zappos:

It’s not the same style, but at least it will give you a similar look. And yes, I agree, it isn’t exactly cheap. However, it definitely beats spending almost $2,000.
Besides, Cole Haan bags are well made, so you can be sure the quality is at par with the Givenchy.
