Double-Take: Dolce Vita vs. Merona

It's time for another double-take, where we take one item from Tar-shay and pair it up against a lookalike - and pricier - piece from a brand-name designer.  This time we have two almost identical mint green suede loafers with tan trim.  The only difference is that one of these is the "Damala" by Dolce Vita, and will run you $75/pair on Shoes.com, whereas the other is the "Mali" by Merona (at Target) and will only cost you $19.99/pair.  Which one is which?  The answer appears in the comments section below.

The shoe on the top is from Merona, and the one on the bottom is from Dolce Vita.

OMG - they look almost identical! That is a remarkable dupe and possibly (if the Merona shoe is of decent quality) a huge bargain opportunity. Only after I knew which was which could I see the slightly richer, more textured appearance of the DV suede compared to the synthetic Merona. WOW!
