Where can I get a bag similar to the Mulberry Alexa?

    Pretty much as the title asks, I really like the bag but can't afford the €1,000 price tag. Are there any high street shops doing similar knockoffs?

    I'd love one of those myself!

    Found this if it helps!

    Found a few knockoff stores online too but prices still weren't great imo and wouldn't trust the sites to be reliable

    Oooh thanks, I looked on topshop but didn't see that bag, the new look one is quite nice too.

    It is. And really cheap in comparison! Always a plus in my student books! :)

    Anybody know of an online shop that sells lovely handbags for really cheap, and small shipping? I really need a new stylish handbag but cannot afford anything over like €40? Also whats style is big now? I dont like cheap looking bags so Pennys are out. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    I love the Alexa, Piste!

    It's such a gorgeous bag, but hell the price tag is huuuuggggge. I found this one on ebay. It's not real leather but for €40 might do?

    Hope you find the perfect one :)

    Aaaahhh I looked on Asos the other day but didn't see this :( I saw a really cute brown satchel in Topshop the other day that I didn't see on the website so I bought that. it's still a really nice bag, even if it's not the Alexa. I needed a smaller bag anyway, all my handbas tend to be huge which means I carry around a ridiculous amount of crap in them!

    You made me go and buy this, aaahhhh! I couldn't stop thinking about it after I saw your post, so it had to be mine! :pac:

    Love the Alexa though, if only!

    The sister of a contact of mine on Flickr was contemplating selling her car to buy a Mulberry handbag!

    Not worth buying a real one - they are a one season wonder!

    Ah no. If you're gonna buy a lifetime handbag it's gonna be a Mulberry, Chanel or Hermes. Timeless!

    The Alexa is a one season wonder - Bayswater FTW!

    I really like the bays, but at 26 it just feels slightly too sophisticated! :o

    I had one and ended up ebaying it as although it's a gorgeous bag it just didn't quite work for me. But I suspect if you were in a more formal job or even were a smarter dresses than I am it'd be brilliant.

    The Alexa is perfect for me, half bays, half satchel :)

    Was in Pennys and found a bag quite similar to the Alexa - only €11. Was delighted!

    Tis this one
