Given that it’s based on a classic symbol of France, its creators must have thought the end result could only be fashionable.
Some, however, may say Lidl’s latest wardrobe offering is nothing short of crummy.
The purse takes the form of a roll-top bakery bag – and comes with a croissant-shaped wallet inside.
Created by New York-based designer Nik Bentel, the item costs £50 and is described as a ‘limited edition luxury leather bag’.
It will go on sale from Thursday, with all proceeds donated to children’s charity the NSPCC.
