Want a Lanvin Bag but Can’t Afford It?

Not everyone is able to afford a Lanvin bag (shown above) or the iconic Chanel 2.55. However, if you’re looking for something that resembles it (and no, I’m not talking about designer inspired or replica bags), this Windsor Palace Metallic Gwendolyn bag by Kate Spade (below) might just be the solution.

Though I must say that in terms of colour, it’s a tad boring in terms of colour – I’d prefer a brighter hued bag with a contrast coloured ribbon. I’m such a sucker for ribbons and bows, whether on accessories or clothing – and I didn’t even realise this till a friend of mine pointed out that my clothes and/or accessories seem to always have ribbon/bowed details, oversized or otherwise. So save to say, if it weren’t for the bow detail on the bag, I wouldn’t even have featured it on the blog. Anyhoo, this bag retails for $595 via Kate Spade
