Double Take - ZARA v Givenchy

Designer items are a little out of price range for a lot of people around the world and some have the pleasure of buying many a designer item but for a lot of people including myself it's rather pleasing to sometimes come across a designer lookalike whether it be clothing, shoes or jewellery at a fraction of the price of the real thing. Which brings me to this post, a bag I noticed on ZARA's website the other day which made me instantly think of the 'Obsedia' bag from Givenchy. Yes, the ZARA bag doesn't have the metal cross and ring style emblem that is associated with the 'Obsedia' but it does have a similar cross on the fold over. The one thing that would make you excuse this minor difference in the price tag- the ZARA bag is an affordable £39.99/€49.95/$79.90 and the Givenchy 'Obdesia' is on average £1,200. That is some difference.
