If you want a Chanel-esque look without resorting to fakes (ick) or re-mortgaging your house/selling your grandmother, never fear, high street superhero Topshop has come to your aid.
This black and white '2 Tone Box Chain Grab Bag' has the air of the Parisian fashion house, down to the classic colouring, chain handle and the sophisticated shape.
It's not leather (it is, in fact, Polyurethane), but it's versatile enough to go from a job interview to a shopping trip, so we'll forgive it, plus it's only £28 so what do you expect?
