The fight of the Russian Dolls - Chanel vs Topshop

Ah, the high street designer rip off. Allowing us to get that bag/shoe/dress we wish we had the cash for, but don't. Topshop are at it again, with this Russian Doll bag.

When I spotted it on the website I was sure I'd seen something like it and then remembered it from my perving of Chanel yesterday. The Chanel version (as seen on Lily Allen), the 'Matriochka', is just beautiful; enamel with a bracelet chain, and costs a massive £2,500. On the other hand, is Topshop's one that comes in at £22.

Obviously there's a big difference between them, but hey if you want to grab this trend, saving £2,488 isn't bad!
