Mulberry Alexa Bag - To fake, or too fake?


Have been obsessing over the Mulberry Alexas for a while now…  but for 795 quid, they dont exactly sit within my budget.
Last week found a great copy of the bag on Queens Wardrobe. But am wondering if you can’t afford the real thing, should you get a fake? And is this IT bag going to peak soon with all the fakes around (you can find another copy here at topshop) and make it a poor investment?

Must say that the Queens Wardrobe also have a fantastic selection of replica bags - just different enough to get them through customs from China but pretty much the same. Including Balenciaga bags (another good example of a great bag that climaxed when the fakes arrived) and the Alexander Wang Rocco Bag.
The photo below is of the ‘Alexa’ bag at Queens Wardrobe, got a bit pixelated but you get the picture, at around 150 quid (with the added cost of worrying whether it will get through customs…) is it worth it?
UPDATE: Bag has either sold out or has been removed from Queens Wardrobe. Dammit!
