Right now at this very second, the high street is producing some of the best designer handbag dupes around. Usually, this calibre of arm candy comes with a price tag that requires a sharp intake of breath, a chat with the bank manager and a long sit down. While, we commend anyone with the will power to save up enough to splurge on a luxury bag-of-a-lifetime, sometimes we just need that quick-fix fashion solution. And, the high street knows that oh too well. Hence, why they’ve come to the rescue.
Topshop has remade Staud’s Bissette Leather Bucket Bag at a tenth of its price, Zara has re-created Edie Parker’s chocolate box clutches at for less than two months rent, and ASOS has hit the jackpot with its take on Loewe’s animal bag. Topshop’s furry shoulder bag may look like a bit of fun, but a real fur equivalent by Simoneta Ravizza would leave you back nearly a £1,000 more in debt. And, while Mango’s large shopper is seemingly just a way of adding colour to your day-to-day, it’s actually got origins in a Balenciaga design. It does make you think that the high street has the luxe label look nailed for a lot, lot less. While you mull on that thought, consider a pre-pay day splurge on any one of these 13 accessibly priced handbags that have instant street style appeal…
