Market stalls the world over have long been stacked with cheap knock-offs of designer brands.
But sometimes it goes the other way - and designer brands take inspiration from the cheaper things in life. And sometimes a bag that looks like something you can pick up in your local shop can go on sale for more than half the average monthly income in the US.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?
Take a bow, the new Balenciaga bag. It looks strikingly like the oversized Frakta bag you can pick up in Ikea furniture shops all over Europe - costing some loose change. But Balenciaga's Arena Extra-Large Shopper Tote Bag will set you back $2,145 (£1,670; €2,015).
It isn't a straight copy, of course - the Balenciaga bag is made of leather, not plastic, and the Swedish shop's branding is missing too.
But Ikea seem to be chalking it up as a win. They told Teen Vogue: "We are deeply flattered that the Balenciaga tote bag resembles the Ikea iconic sustainable blue bag for 99 cents. Nothing beats the versatility of a great big blue bag!"

Cassini is about to use a slingshot around Saturn's moon Titan to put it on a path towards destruction.
Saturday's flyby will sweep the probe into an orbit that takes it in between the planet's rings and its atmosphere.
This gap-run gives the satellite the chance finally to work out the length of a day on Saturn and also to figure out the age of its stunning rings.
But the manoeuvre means also that it cannot escape a fiery plunge into Saturn's clouds in September.
The US space agency (Nasa) is calling an end to 12 years of exploration and discovery at Saturn because the probe's propellant tanks are all but empty.
Controllers cannot risk an unresponsive satellite one day crashing into - and contaminating - the gas giant's potentially life-supporting moons, and so they have opted for a strategy that guarantees safe disposal.
"If Cassini runs out of fuel it would be uncontrolled and the possibility that it could crash-land on the moons of Titan and/or Enceladus are unacceptably high," said Dr Earl Maize, Nasa's Cassini programme manager.Cassini has routinely used the strong gravitational field of Titan to adjust its trajectory.
In the years that it has been studying the Saturnian system, the probe has flown by the haze-shrouded world on 126 occasions - each time getting a kick that bends its path towards a new region of interest.
On Saturday, Cassini will pull on the gravitational "elastic band" one more time, to shift its orbit from one that grazes the outer edge of Saturn's main ring system to one that skims the inner edge and puts it just 2,000km above the planet's cloud tops.
The probe will make the first of these gap runs next Wednesday, repeating the dive every six and a half days through to its death plunge, scheduled to occur at about 10:45 GMT on 15 September.Scientists will be using Saturday's pass of Titan to make some final close-up observations of the moon.
This extraordinary world is dominated at northern latitudes by great lakes and seas of liquid methane.
Cassini's radar will once again scan their depths and look for what have become known as "magic islands" - locations where nitrogen gas bubbles up from below to produce a transient bumpiness on the lakes' surfaces.
It is sure to be a bitter-sweet experience for scientists as Cassini makes its final close-proximity pass of Titan. The moon has yielded so many discoveries.

Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka has arrived in Berlin for the G20 women's summit for her first international trip since her father took office.
The so-called First Daughter will be taking part in a panel discussion about female entrepreneurs alongside German chancellor, Angela Merkel.
Mrs Merkel invited Ms Trump during her trip to Washington last month.
But it remains unclear as to what exactly Ms Trump's role is within her father's White House.
She and her husband Jared Kushner are seen as increasingly influential, however, and German newspaper Berliner Zeitung said officials hoped "the president's daughter will convey a positive image of Germany to her father as a result of her short visit".

Not for the first time, Madonna is on the war path.
The focus of her rage is Universal Pictures, who snapped up a script about the singer's early years in New York earlier this week.
Madonna sought out a copy of the screenplay, called Blonde Ambition, and immediately declared it to be "all lies".
"Nobody knows what I know and what I have seen." the 58-year-old fumed on Instagram.
"Only I can tell my story. Anyone else who tries is a charlatan and a fool. Looking for instant gratification without doing the work. This is a disease in our society."

The final blow was delivered on 14 January 2017, late one night after the last in a "six pack" of performances in Orlando, Florida.
Posters printed in English, Portuguese, Ukrainian and Mongolian had gone up earlier in the day announcing a mysterious, mandatory all-staff meeting.
So when Feld Entertainment executives delivered the news that the circus was shutting down completely, it landed hard.
"You watched hundreds of people burst into tears at the same time," recalls ringmaster Kristen Michelle Wilson, Ringling Bros' first female ringmaster.
She had just given up her job, apartment and car to join the circus four months earlier. But the show had to go on. "The next day, we came in and did two more shows."
The five months leading up to the final performances haven't been easy.
Feld set up career counsellors at each stop. One by one, performers who found new gigs dropped off the tour.
Foreign performers without new jobs will lose their work visas shortly after the final show, and the Felds are covering plane tickets and reimbursing mileage for road trips home.

The bloc later agreed that member states would report back annually on defence spending to Nato.
It also said it would take a bigger role in the campaign against IS militants, but France and Germany have insisted the move is mostly symbolic.
The G7 summit brings Mr Trump's first foreign tour as US president to a close. Earlier in the week, he said he was "more determined than ever" to pursue peace in the world after meeting Pope Francis at the Vatican.
Before that, he vowed to help Israelis and Palestinians achieve peace, as he ended the Middle East leg of his tour.
He began his foreign trip with a two-day stop in Saudi Arabia over the weekend, urging Muslim countries to take the lead in combating radicalisation.

“我们分处两个不同的世界，”哥伦比亚热带农业国际中心的安德鲁·贾维斯（Andrew Jarvis）说道，“在发达国家，素食主义会带来各种环境和健康方面的好处。但在发展中国家，这则会进一步加剧贫困程度。”
“It’s a tale of two worlds, really,” says Andrew Jarvis of Colombia’s International Centre for Tropical Agriculture. “In developed countries, vegetarianism would bring all sorts of environmental and health benefits. But in developing countries there would be negative effects in terms of poverty.”

Wizards wear them and so do dunces. In ancient Rome, freed slaves donned them as a sign of their emancipation. In the 15th Century, noblewomen in France and Burgundy wore them as a status symbol, as did 19th-Century women in the eastern Mediterranean, who elaborately encrusted them with pearls and precious stones. Iron-age mummies known as the ‘Witches of Subeshi’, excavated from China’s Tarim Basin, along the northern Silk Route, were found to have fashioned them from black felt - their characteristic steep spire tapering to a peak nearly 60cm (2ft) above their heads.Despite its diverse ethnic origins, the tall pointed hat is likely, today, to elicit revulsion from those in the West who associate its distinctive shape with the sharp end of racial bigotry and the intimidating garb of the Ku Klux Klan. But photos circulating in the media this week from Seville, Spain, serve as a reminder of the multifarious meanings of even the most seemingly singular and inimitable of cultural symbols.

Police in the Philippines have released surveillance footage of the gunman who set fire to Resorts World Manila casino on Friday leaving 36 people dead.
The Islamic State militant group said they carried out the attack - but police say the incident appears to have been a botched robbery.

"Much like an archer, the mantis shrimp stores up elastic energy in advance of the strike and releases it with a latch," says Patek.
The shrimps also engage in territorial contests. However, Patek and colleagues describe these encounters as "ritualised sparring" rather than lethal contests. Competing shrimps first size each other up, and only come to blows as a last resort. On the rare occasions that they physically fight, the shrimps first curl up their armoured tailplates, or telsons, to shield their abdomens. The winner is the shrimp that, like Rocky Balboa, can withstand the most hits.

Labour gained 30 seats in Thursday's general election to take its total to 262 seats, but the Conservatives remain the largest party in Parliament with 318 seats. This is more than the total of Labour, Lib Dems, SNP, Plaid Cymru and Green Party. The number needed for a majority is 326.
This would give the Tories the numbers to pass a Queen's Speech on Monday 19 June, which will set out their legislative agenda.
But shadow chancellor John McDonnell said he believes there is a majority in Parliament to maintain the winter fuel allowance and "triple lock" state pension guarantee, two policies the Conservatives proposed changing in their manifesto.
He told ITV's Peston on Sunday: "I believe the DUP is in favour of scrapping the bedroom tax. There's a whole range of issues like that where we think there'll be a majority in Parliament."
Jeremy Corbyn said he did not think Mrs May had any credibility and it was "unclear" what kind of programme the Conservatives would be able to put forward.
He said there was a "possibility" of voting down the Queen's Speech and Labour were going to "push all the way" to achieve that.

"I woke up about half past one this morning to look across the road and see the big Grenfell Tower, in a towering inferno, blaze, just fire coming out of every window, windows smashing and exploding.

"Things falling out, people screaming, people jumping out on fire, chucking ropes down what they'd made out of bedsheets, to try and climb out. Just complete nightmare, absolute nightmare."

However, it says it will still co-operate with its larger neighbour.
Speaking earlier in Miami, Florida, Mr Trump said he was reimposing certain travel and trade restrictions eased by the Obama administration, condemning a "completely one-sided deal".
But he is not reversing key diplomatic and commercial ties.
"The government of Cuba denounces the new measures toughening the embargo," Cuban state TV said.
But it also reiterated "its willingness to continue the respectful dialogue and cooperation".
Barack Obama attempted to thaw relations by loosening trade and tourism bans.

And he said the royals were doing it "for the greater good of the people".
Prince Harry also spoke about walking in the funeral procession for his mother, Princess Diana, aged 12, saying no child "should be asked to do that".
In 1997, Harry joined his father, the Prince of Wales, grandfather, the Duke of Edinburgh, 15-year-old brother, the Duke of Cambridge, and uncle, Earl Spencer, in the procession through the streets of London.
Harry, who recently said he had received counselling to cope with the death of his mother in a car crash in Paris, said: "My mother had just died, and I had to walk a long way behind her coffin, surrounded by thousands of people watching me while millions more did on television.
"I don't think any child should be asked to do that, under any circumstances. I don't think it would happen today."

The US president had stepped away for a meeting with the Indonesian leader during the G20 meeting.
Ms Trump is an adviser to her father, but a leader's absence is usually covered by high-ranking officials.
A BBC correspondent at the summit said he could recall no similar precedent. There has been widespread criticism on social media.
Mr Trump returned a short while later to retake his seat between the British prime minister and the Chinese president.
Ms Trump did not seem to make any major contribution to the session on African migration and health during her father's absence.

Republican efforts to find a replacement for President Obama's healthcare system have collapsed.
Two Republican senators said they opposed their party's proposed alternative, making it impossible for the bill to pass in its current form.
The party has been divided on the issue, with moderates concerned about the effects on the most vulnerable.
President Trump has now called for repeal of Obamacare, so Republicans can start "from a clean slate".
That task falls to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
"Regretfully, it is now apparent that the effort to repeal and immediately replace the failure of Obamacare will not be successful," Mr McConnell said
