HAUL | A Whistles Dupe.

Let's rewind the clock a little. Whistles has long been one of my favourite brands to look to when I want a new handbag and as of late their pouches have been getting a lot of coverage on blogs and YouTube. I'd had my eye on two particular Whistles clutches coming to the end of last year but since I already have a satchel by Whistles, I didn't want to have too much by the same brand and limited myself to buying one. If you are as obsessed with handbags then you will be able to appreciate how difficult that was! Before I knew it, one of the bags had sold out and so I ended up buying the Small Clutch in Navy Patent - It worked out well since I've fallen in love with navy lately but the bag that got away was the Rivington in a croc effect, and what a beaut it was. 

Sleek, timeless and not too expensive actually. None the less, I had bought the navy option and that was that. It's a good job I did because not even a week had passed before I stumbled across a 'dupe' (God, I loathe that word.) in Topshop which was selling for £25! It's not got the Whistles insignia obviously but it is near identical, better perhaps since it has a fabric strap on it! Not to mention that with my staff discount it only cost me £18-odd.

This, is the Topshop Croc Clutch Bag, and I'm in love.

I'm so happy with this so I thought I'd share it with you guys, hopefully save you some pretty pennies.


***Just to note, this was bought a month ago. I'm still going with my spending ban aha!
