the real thing goes for thousands of pounds. the high street version definitely won't feel like couture but you will be able to afford the bangles, clutch and sparkly sandals aswell. with so many easily accessible copy-cats out there, leave the real mccoy to the celebs.. or diy!! at least until the markets improve.
