Bag Cousins: M&S Limited Collection grosgrain bag and Lanvin 'Happy'

Bag cousins? Bag twins, more like. M&S's Limited Collection grosgrain bag (left) bears more than a little ressemblance to Lanvin's 'Happy', with its woven-in ribbon chain, foldover shape and contrasting, textured fabrics.

I rather like it: it's a blatant copy, but I'm not so sold on 'Happy' that I'm clamoring for the real deal and the shade of emerald green is unique to the M&S style. And it does look much more expensive than it is...

Limited Collection grosgrain bag: £3950 at Marks & Spencer
Lanvin 'Happy' bag: £740 at Net-a-Porter
