Differentiation Strategy
To differentiate, the stud pattern is modified to be less dense, perhaps focusing them on the strap and seams to reduce production complexity and cost.
The interior lining is a durable cotton twill instead of leather, a common choice for this market tier.
The hardware is high-quality stainless steel rather than plated brass, offering a good balance of durability and cost.
Success Replication
This mid-tier option keeps the high-quality suede material and the distinctive sculptural-yet-slouchy shape of the original.
It also includes the eye-catching silver-tone stud embellishments, which are a significant part of the Khaite Elena's identity.
The general dimensions and shoulder-carry functionality are also preserved.
