Mango or Isabel Marant?
I have been really impressed with Mango recently. I never really thought they had alot of great stuff when there was a store open in Toronto, but the items I have picked up from the online store recently have been fantastic.
There has been a decidedly Marant-esque vibe to the tops in the summer collection. Boho details and ruffles.
The Isabel Marant blouse (here, here or here, also in pink), goes for north of $800 has much more detail with the pleats, lace and ruffles. The Mango look - a - like is a mere $40.
In fact Mango has quite a few blouses currently that have that Marant vibe (I ordered this one in the white, but also this & this are fantastic) and all are super affordable. Not all of them are cotton but I am just picky that way. I find that if I stick with natural materials, fast fashion items look way more expensive.
Which would you buy?
Mango and not just because of the price- I just think it is cuter!

I am loving the mango items. Plus I can't wrap my head around $800 for a blouse.
Nice find. I'd go with the Mango shirt too.. I think the ruffle on the Marant shirt is a bit too much.
I do find that when the high street reinvents designer items they make them more wearable.
Love them both but I'd go for the cheaper one!
I think everyone is in agreement - the Mango version is a must have 😉
