A Mulberry Lily Dupe From Topshop

You know what people say to you before Christmas: 'Don't spend anything on yourself, you don't know what you're going to get...' Well, my friends, I kicked that saying right out of the window. I have been DYING to get my hands on a Mulberry Lily (medium size) for two years now, and it's been gradually going up in price. But I can't help just going on the website and staring at its £950 worth of pure angelic suede and gold hardware perfection. I am a bag lady, and this is the piece de resistance.

The other day I was out with friends, and it was by chance that we wandered into the Topshop on Oxford Street. This is defo my favourite branch, and has all these brands within the shop and it's just paradise! And while my friend was about to pay for something, I decided to wander to the bags while I waited, and lo and behold... There were these gorgeous shoulder bags!

They were the closest bags I've ever seen to a Mulberry. Perfect gold hardware, soft black faux leather, and loads of space inside. I was in love. This bag is by Marc B. Never heard of him, but good on him for creating a close replica. I'm aware the pockets, zips and lovely leopard print interior aren't on a Mulberry, but that's what I love about this bag. For £37 (it was in the sale so usually retails for £47), I think I saved £900. It fits everything I carry inside, and looks super sleek when worn. And just like my designer dream, you can have the chain strap long or short and has a turnlock close.

All I can guys, is that this is the bag of 2017, and I can't wait to wear it to death. They also had a nude, pink and cream - so if you want one, you should definitely run to Oxford Street and snap one up!
