Hi : Low - Proenza Schouler PS1 vs. Country Road Iris

Those in Australia have all the luck (and maybe everyone else will too thanks to ebay and a few crafty folks?) with their very own Country Road stores churning out a major Proenza Schouler PS1 lookalike... the Black Iris Leather Satchel, $249. (AUD) [update which ended up quickly discontinued and was never offered to those in the US anyway]. Another source I found for a doppleguager was BagInc. and their bag here.

The PS1 as you know runs around $1,995.00 (USD). Totally unisex the original PS1 has been the "it" bag of this and last year (making the chance someone you know has been salivating over it high) in an ever shrinking pool of care, along with Alexander Wang's studded duffel. Take note at how he's heavily (ahem!) influencing their other bags as well. Can someone hook me up with Iris or would you say that's too taboo?
