Dear Bagistas,  

You know how I feel about blatant knockoffs or clearly, overly “inspired” looks. That being said, I’m aware that the bag featured here the Rampage Ludlow Cross Body Flap has the essence or is “inspired” by Anya Hindmarch. But, since Anya knocked off herself for Target – which by the way was a very good collection that I bought into and gifted to my future mother-in-law – I felt it was OK to showcase this bag as my bag-a-licious pick. It’s not a clear knockoff, put it has the feeling of Anya, at a fraction of the cost. You can wear this bag handheld or over-the-shoulder with multiple strap options. I love options, just as much as the next gal! But, I wouldn’t wear it with the long strap cross body; that look doesn’t jell with my fashion palette.  I’m already imagining how I would wear this top-handle. Perhaps a nice puffed out dress with a 1950’s flair. Oh loving it! Then I would accent with vintage-inspired jewelry, and my engagement ring – of course! Shoes, oh this required a Mr. Louboutin classic pump. You saved on the bag, you may as well splurge on the shoes.  What do you think of this look? How would you wear this bag. Visit My Bag-a-licious Life blog and let me know!

THE REAL DEAL, Anya Hindmarch Slade shoulder bag
