Loved by TV icons like Kris Jenner, Paris Hilton, and even the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the British accessories brand has created a chic tote that gives serious Dior vibes, for more than £2,000 less.

Inside, it is fully lined, and a zipped inner pocket provides secure storage for your must-haves, from your phone to your lipstick. Not to mention, it can be personalised with your initials. Its timeless silhouette, soft fawn body, and contrasting tan stripe and handles give it that designer look, but for thousands less. No wonder the tote bags are a favourite among the Real Housewives. If you're not after the medium size, both small and large sizes are available on sale. Now that your handbag is sorted, if you're after a watch to match, we've found a Abbott Lyon one that looks just like Cartier without the £8k+ price tag.

Venezuela Fury, 15, reveals she is 'jealous' of mum Paris during lavish family trip
Tyson Fury's wife Paris is a style icon, and her 15-year-old daughter Venezuela is clearly in awe of her glamorous mum, as she gushed over a photo of her on Instagram She may have her hands full with seven children, but Paris Fury still manages to pull off glamorous looks that even make her teenage daughter jealous. During a recent break in the sun, Paris and husband Tyson Fury 's eldest Venezuela was quite to praise her mum's holiday style. During a blissful vacation in Barbados, Venezuela snapped a pic of Paris showcasing her enviable French braid adorned with delicate flowers. The teenager confessed in her Instagram caption: "Jealous of my own mam's hair ngl [not gonna lie]." The Fury family brood consists of Venezuela, Prince John James, 13, Prince Tyson II, 8, Valencia Amber, 7, Prince Adonis Amaziah, 5, Athena, 3, and one-year-old Prince Rico Paris. After a month-long absence from Instagram, Paris returned, sharing snaps from her luxurious Barbados break. She looked stunning, toting a £795 Lily & Bean bag emblazoned with 'MRS FURY' and captioning her photos with a reference to her refreshing social media break: "Not been here for a while, been in paradise." Her return marked the end of her digital detox, which took place at a favoured Fury family destination. In the beautiful Barbados setting, Paris posed prettily with flowers woven into her braids, dressed in an elegant Verdi's World V Neck Bias Slip dress from Australian label Camilla, renowned for their resort wear crafted by Camilla Franks. Last month, it was reported that Paris had decided to be selective about her work commitments, having previously declined several projects to prioritise her family. The 35-year-old has explored various avenues in her career, including publishing two books. She's also partnered with fashion retailer New Look and featured in the Netflix docuseries At Home with the Furys alongside her family. It's suggested that Paris turned down projects last year due to her husband Tyson's training schedule abroad. Despite this, the author reportedly has some exciting ventures lined up. A source told The Sun that Paris is a "powerhouse" who's currently in high demand. They added: "She has turned a lot of things down so she can be with her children as much as she can." It's also claimed that Paris has been working closely with her management team on her career prospects. Some members of her team are parents themselves, so they understand the balance she seeks in her life. Since gaining a massive fanbase from her family's reality TV show, Paris has reportedly been offered numerous projects. However, the source revealed that she's taking a slow and steady approach to her career with the support of her management team. Last year, while Tyson was away training for his boxing title defence, Paris put their children first and coped privately with the heartbreaking loss of their unborn child at six months pregnant. Despite this, she's got some thrilling prospects ahead. Paris, who kept her tragic loss a secret from Tyson as he prepared for a fight in Saudi Arabia, turned down certain opportunities during that difficult period. However, the source shared: "Paris went through a terrible time when she lost her baby at six months' pregnant. There were certain opportunities she felt she couldn't take on at the time, but she has a lot of exciting things in the pipeline."

Previously many fans of boxing champion Tyson Fury's family have been quick to comment on how Venezuela is fast becoming a lookalike for her chic mum. Tyson and Paris' children are Venezuela, 15, Prince John James, 13, Prince Tyson II, eight, Valencia Amber, seven, Prince Adonis Amaziah, five, Athena, three, and Prince Rico Paris, one. Paris' Barbados holiday snaps marked an end to a month-long Instagram hiatus. The mum-of-seven revealed that her break had 'been great' as she posed on holiday with a £795 Lily & Bean tote bag personalised with 'MRS FURY' embroidery. The 35-year-old penned in the caption of her picture slides: 'Not been here for a while, been in paradise.'

'It darts upon the bust for subtle definition and dainty rouleau straps. 'A stunning day dress in an eternal silhouette for holidays, parties and everyday elegance.' How Venezuela Fury 'could be a millionaire by age 16' with her own modelling career WITH a heavyweight boxing champ for a dad and a bestselling author mum, it's likely that Venezuela Fury has a bright future ahead of her. And the 15-year-old is already shaping up to be one of the most popular teenagers on the internet, racking up 70,000 followers on Instagram and more than 200,000 followers on TikTok. The star has already caught the attention of modelling agencies, who have claimed that her unique style could make her a "millionaire by the time she's 16." Gemma Howorth, Founder of Body London Model Management is convinced that Venezuela's "gorgeous" looks and "strong social presence", could make her a lot of money from modelling - before she even turns 16. "Venezuela is very young but if correctly managed could really do well with a strong fashion-focused brand like Boohoo and then go on to develop an exciting modelling career," she said. According to Carol Needham, who runs Needham's Models, Venezuela could even follow in the footsteps of Katie Price's daughter, 17-year-old Princess Andre, and sign a deal with PrettyLittleThing. "Seeing someone like Venezuela Fury is truly unique," Carol said. "She's almost 6ft tall at 15 years old and has her own signature style in modelling, especially with her teapot pose. "I wouldn't be surprised if PrettyLittleThing wanted to snap her up!" Princess signed a four-figure deal with the fast-fashion brand back in January, and some experts predict the move could see her become a millionaire by the time she's 18. by Olivia Stringer, Fabulous Digital Writer We also know that Paris has been hard at work in the gym in recent weeks with husband Tyson acting as her personal trainer, thanks to The Gypsy King's social media updates. In one video, the boxing champ declared "what a sort she's going to be" as he recorded her on the treadmill. In another video with Paris, Fury cheekily declared himself "personal trainer to all the Milfs". The power couple, who met in 2006 and married in 2008, have a reported combined net worth of around £70 million. But Paris was keen to step out of her husband's heavyweight shadow when she resigned from his company, Tyson Fury Ltd, in August 2022. She established her own company - harmoniously named Paris Fury Ltd - on the same day. Companies House documents show that the busy mum raked in £178,480 in the 12 months to August last year.
