Affordable Alternative: Take two

Who remembers when i made this post about a cheaper but similar version of the beloved Mulberry Alexa? Well while trawling the internet, i came across this beauty..

Believe it or not, its actually from Peacocks and priced at a very reasonable £14. Just £2 more than the Matalan one.

I havn't seen it in person yet, but the material of it looks much thicker and sturdy than the Matalan version.

Both versions are avaliable in Tan and Black. 

I think i may need to go shopping tomorrow. What do you all think?

The thing i would actually love:

What can i actually afford?

Matalan Double Strap Satchel

Not quite the same, but at a fraction of the price.
