Help! Really want a desinger handbag for Christmas

...that's pretty much the exact same style as this bag:

http://www.theoutnet.com/product/76447#

but ya know, not for £500+....I'm looking from something around £200.

Tell me truthfully, am I going to find this illusive £200 Alexander McQueen-looking bag? :( I've been everywhere.

Harrods site, John Lewis, Selfridges, House of Fraser, Asos, Net-a-porter, The Outnet...Where else can I go?

I'm really after the shiny black effect and gold metal detail. Sort of like Liz Locke from the Apprentice's bag if anyone watches it.

Can anyone help?

    Well that site is in dollars so it would work out at around 288 pounds.

    Lovely bag btw.

    Gorgeous bag! There's a real one on eBay for Buy It Now £450 that also has a Make an Offer option if that's of any use? You might get lucky with a much lower offer as it's getting nearer to Christmas.

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AUTHENTIC-ALEXANDER-MCQUEEN-FLAPPER-CROCODILE-BAG-970-/160514521281?pt=Women_s_Bags&hash=item255f6938c1

    Just did a quick search and found several others that are similar so may be worth doing a good search. I really like this one and they might have it in black as well.

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MOSU-BROWN-DESIGNER-LEATHER-HANDBAG-DAKOTA-LARGE-GRAB-/270556626380?pt=Women_s_Bags&hash=item3efe6e7dcc

    Good luck and let us know how you get on please. :)


    ETA. Just noticed the McQueen finishes at about 8 o'clock tomorrow morning so defo worth making an offer I reckon. ;)

    Thanks for the replies, and I will defnitely come back to let you know what happened and/or if I manage to find anything else.

    And I know, it's gooooooorgeous! :D

    EDIT: Oh wow it does finish at 8am! Gotta get in contact with my dad before then!!!!!! Might send the seller a message just in case. Thanks again for going through the effort of looking for my perfect bag.

    Hello

    World's most belated update here! :D

    Turns out I didn't get the bag. The brand new one, or the one of eBay :cry: BUT! I did find out upon closer inspection, that the one Liz Locke had in The Apprentice is indeed exactly the same one I was after!

    I didn't want to get it specifically because she had it, by no means, but I just think it's weird that I kept going on and on to my parents about her bag saying "Anything like that, in that style, sort of looks like that" and the one I found (the Alexander McQueen one!) was literally THAT bag.

    Ah well. Instead I got some fancy Ugg boots which I don't really like tbh so I shall be returning them once I'm no longer ill.
