fter Christmas it is always handy to know where to get expensive items cheaper. Designer bags have been all the rage with Gucci , Burberry, YSL and Guess but sometimes the student budget won’t allow such purchases.
1
Starting the year off with the £940 Burberry small monogram motif leather crossbody bag. A classic small black bag is a staple in everybody’s wardrobe but the River Island black foldover crossbody bag is similar in design but costs a fraction of the price at £32.

Gucci has been known for its cardholders, from monogram to Disney and leather, but sometimes the price gets in the way of buying these luxury products. The Gucci crocodile card case is £625 but almost identical to the Next personalised mock croc leather card holder by Koko blossom. This product is very similar in design but very different in price at just £18 – and Next even offer personalisation of this particular card holder.

Next on the list is for those that love the Gucci monogram. The Ophidia GG medium tote is a larger bag for more practical day-to-day wear but with the investment of £795. River Island is hitting back with the similar monogram design but with their own twist for the low price of £32 which goes to show you can have designer style bags for a price anyone can afford!
