We love an accessory, specifically a handbag, as we think it is the finishing touch to complete any outfit, no matter the occasion. <\/p>\n

While we may have designer taste, we also have a lemonade budget, and can\u2019t justify spending hundreds of pounds on a designer handbag, as much as we desperately wish we could.  We have searched high and low to find the best designer-looking bags from high street stores<\/a>, such as M&S<\/a>, River Island<\/a>, and Mango<\/a>. Our latest find may just be the best lookalike yet. <\/p>\n

Mango is selling the Oval Shoulder Bag<\/a>, which initially retailed for \u00a345.99, but is on sale for \u00a329.99, which makes a saving in itself.  The must-have arm-candy is a very similar alternative to Staud\u2019s Moon Bag<\/a>, which fetches \u00a3285, so shopping Mango\u2019s alternative could save you even more. Say less!<\/p>\n

\"Mango<\/a><\/p>\n

Mango Oval Shoulder Bag<\/h2>\n

The Oval Shoulder Bag is oval shaped with a curved handle. It features a shoulder strap you can wear as a handbag, or over the shoulder by extending the strap. It features a zip fastening to secure your valuables in place. The faux leather design has been crafted from polyurethane and features a polyester lining. It measures 10.24 x 14.96 x 2.36inches, and is available in three colours, including off white, black and medium brown.<\/p>\n

\"Staud<\/a><\/p>\n

Staud Moon Bag<\/h2>\n

Staud\u2019s Moon Bag has been crafted from 100% cow leather, and features a suede inner lining. The oval shaped bag features a curved top handle that can be held as a handbag or over the shoulder. The handle is fitted with a removable button case to protect the strap. It features a magnetic clasp opening to access the contents inside. Available in 10 colours and textures, as well as a miniature version.<\/p>\n

Both Mango<\/a> and Staud\u2019s bags feature a curved top handle and an oval-shaped body, which is a welcome alternative to square, rectangular, or barrel handbags we have worn of late.  <\/p>\n

The short top handle on both designs makes it easy to carry as a handbag, or slip over the arm and place on the shoulder. <\/p>\n

The Mango design features an additional seam along the upper section on the body of the bag, which supports the rigid structure of the design and prevents it from collapsing in, at least that\u2019s what we think it functions to do. Though Staud\u2019s design lacks this additional feature, both bags appear to have the same thickness around the body of the bag, and offer a robust structure. <\/p>\n

Mango\u2019s bag features a zip fastening, whereas Staud\u2019s has a magnetic fixture.  Admittedly, we prefer the former to ensure our belongings don\u2019t fall out of the bag, and are out of reach of wandering hands. <\/p>\n

The Staud handbag<\/a> features a detachable clasp fixture around the top handle, though if this is removed it would be difficult to tell the difference between both designs. <\/p>\n

One stark difference (aside from the price) is the fabric. Mango has crafted a faux leather design from polyurethane, and has a polyester lining. On the other hand, Staud\u2019s creation has been created from cow\u2019s leather and features a suede inner lining – hence the hefty price tag. However, Staud has also created raffia designs, which are perfect for the summer months and beach breaks. <\/p>\n

Mango\u2019s handbag<\/a> comes in three timeless colourways, black, medium brown and off-white, while Staud\u2019s Moon Bag comes in 10 colours and prints. <\/p>\n

For a saving of \u00a3255.01 to be exact, it\u2019s safe to say Mango\u2019s Oval Shoulder Bag gets our seal of approval for daytime and evening wear.<\/p>\n
