I have both.
The cost difference is not in the materials, it’s that they’re handmade in Europe vs being churned out for pennies in factories in China. Quality wise they’re very similar.
The advantage with Erika is that they are made to order so the fit is better (the knockoffs are too long for the average wrist size IMO) and you can choose from a number of custom options for things like stitching and hardware.
Whether that’s worth the extra is up to you.
