The Look for Less: Mulberry Alexa Bag



Mulberry at ShopStyle


This popular Mulberry Oversized 'Alexa' leather bag costs $1,250 at Net-a-porter.com.



Fossil at ShopStyle


For fall, Fossil has re-issued a number of bags including its Vintage Messenger Bag, modeled after iconic silhouettes from the past (so it's by no means a knockoff of the Mulberry, rather a similar style from a bygone era). It's available in black, brown or camel leather for $168, which still isn't cheap, but you'll getting Fossil-quality for much less than a designer bag like Mulberry and you'll enjoy it for years to come.

I love these kinds of bags. ASOS has similar leather bags too in a lot of colors. Just ordered one in yellow. Keeping my fingers crossed that the quality is good!

Don't forget that Target is bringing Mulberry to the masses as well! The line is supposed to hit stores Oct. 10.

Normally I find Fossil to be too rugged for my tastes, but this bag is actually quite stylish!
