The Spanish retailer just dropped a leather baguette in beige and black for just £29.99.

As fuel and electric prices rise, I’m seeking affordable alternatives when it comes to fashion.
Mango is always one of my favourite go-to stores for handbags. Whether it’s raffia and straw bags for summer or croissant-shaped styles, it never fails to deliver.
If, like me, you’re saving your pennies, you’ve got to see Mango’s new arrival. It’s curved shape matches Prada’s Cleo, and while it’s more matte, it’s just as chic.
