Cockatoo Bangles - savvy vs. splurge -by Chic n Cheap Living

Savvy vs Splurge: Kate Spade and Juicy Couture Cockatoo Bangles (both hot under $150)

April 12, 2012
That Kate Spade is always creating one cute thing after another.The present subject of cuteness: cockatoos.

Seriously – tropical birds?  Yep, these spiky haired birds are in a few places through out the Kate Spade website and now the bangle is most definitely on my wish list.  But I also happened to find a similar version of the bangle for Juicy Couture in which the bird is much more pronounced and the bangle itself is just under $100.  I’d still go for the Kate Spade for the slightly subtler effect.  Which bangle would you pick?

Cockatoo Bangle, Juicy Couture, $98

    These are marvelous..and I agree with the above..as soon as I seen it..I loved the cheaper one more…it’s stunning!! xx

    Both version are lovely. Juicy Couture might be a tad too bulky for my wrists.

    Ohh so hard to pick one, even though its not so much my style, they are super cute! They are quite similar in some ways but think I’d go for the Juicy Couture option…the birds look more real for some reason.

    Great look for less with the Juicy Couture bracelet! I like the Kate Spade better, but both are really adorable.

    I’m not usually a huge JC fan but I’m thinking in this instance I like the JC bangle better!

  • THE ALTERNATIVE WIFE April 12, 2012 at 14:50

    Love them both! But I’d probably go with the Kate Spade too 🙂 xoxo

  • Midnight Cowgirl April 12, 2012 at 15:14

    Love them both!

  • Bonnie April 12, 2012 at 15:14

    I think I actually like the Juicy one better. It’s more fun and seems a little bit quirkier. Both are cute, though!

  • Mrs. Pancakes April 13, 2012 at 03:03

    So pretty!

  • Jessica April 13, 2012 at 11:40

    Well, talk about great minds thinking alike! I had the Juicy bracelet in my list of things to post about! i absolutely love it. I was surprised by Kate Spade’s version. It’s surprisingly subtle for such a whimsical brand.

  • Deborah September 30, 2012 at 20:27

    Where can I find the Kate Spade cockatoo bangle? It is no longer available in the Kate Spade shop

    • Chic 'n Cheap Living September 30, 2012 at 22:41

      Deborah, it is sold out in quite a few places. I would recommend checking Zappo’s or creating a saved search on eBay. Good luck!

  • Alyssa January 3, 2013 at 15:45

    I love these bracelets! Too bad they’re all sold out – there are a few available on ebay though if anyone is still looking.
