   OMG, that F21 bag looks like an imitation of the YSL Lulu bag. Unique design for less is great but designer knockoff is a huge no-no to me 🙁

     Hi Iris, that’s a great find, I hadn’t even seen the YSL bag, but you are absolutely right; they are quite similar.

     While I absolutely don’t condone knock offs, the fashion industry is one that relies heavily on peer inspiration. For better or for worse, there is a grey area between being inspired and ripping off a design. It has been a massive issue in the industry for years and a topic of discussion I’ve always found interesting as taking inspiration from high-fashion designers has made these looks accessible to the masses. Ultimately it comes down to buyer preference, and as long as you are comfortable with your fashion choices both sartorially and morally, I’m happy. Thanks for your comment!
