I bought one of these on vacation once, a cat, and it is very cute, came in a pretty gold box. I also bought some wonderful high heeled shoes by Rucinni for a friend and she loved them. I agree, though, they are not Estee, don't sell for anywhere near the amount of Estee, and I think its not very fair to try to imply they might be EL or to put how “Lauder like” they are so that they will show up for those of you doing Estee Lauder searches on e-bay.
