Michael Kors Jet Set Travel Medium Travel Tote, a cheaper alternative for LV Neverfull MM?

Louis Vuitton Neverfulls are such classic/signature staples for our wardrobes, but the price of LV bags keep rising and we are all looking for some cheaper options for this handbag.

Today I would like to compare the Michael Kors Jet Travel Tote (medium) to the LV Neverfull MM.

Let's just put the statistics out :

LV Neverfull MM :

current price AUD $1450, 32 x 29 x 17 cm (Length x Height x Width) , it's a canvas on the outside and leather rims and handles.

Michael Kors Jet Travel Tote:

current price AUD $419, 28.5 x 38 x 15 cm (Length x Height x Width). It has been described as a hard textured leather as main material.

To me, these 2 bags are very similar in size with Michael Kors is slightly bigger.

Michael Kors bag has a lot more inside compartment inside for easy storage while LV NF only has one little flip back pocket which cannot fit my Iphone 6 plus..

Material wise, the LV bag is softer while MK bag holds in shape better because of the texture of the leather.

We all know LV bag has it's classic and well known designs but the MK bag also is quick simple and classic, with the shapes and sizes very similar, and MK only costs 1/3 of the LV, I do believe it's a very good cheaper alternative for a LV neverfull.

What are your thoughts??

Below I have a side by side comparison of the LV Neverfull and the Michael Kors Jet Set Travel Medium Travel Tote.
