Shoppers are going wild after spotting River Island selling a Vivienne Westwood bag dupe that’s a whopping £275 cheaper

LET’S face it, we’ve all had our eye on a designer item that’s well out of our price range.

But if you’re a fan of Vivienne Westwood‘s ‘Louise heart cross body bag’ but can’t afford the hefty price tag, then we’ve got good news for you.

Shoppers have been sent into a frenzy after spotting River Island selling a replica that looks near-identical, but for a fraction of the price.

With its distinctive heart motif, metallic logo and detattched shoulder strap, there’s no denying River Island’s ‘white patent heart cross body bag’ looks very similar to Vivienne Westwood designer version.

But the luxury label’s bag will set you back a £310, meaning that at just £35, the high-street version is a whopping £275 cheaper.

However, eagle-eyed shoppers will spot a few minor differences between the two.

The luxury designer bag features a grained leather, while River Island’s dupe has a quilted design and comes with a patent finish.

Meanwhile, Vivienne Westwood’s bag has a double compartment, while the high-street version comes with just one.

And it’s not the first time shoppers have noticed River Island selling a convincing dupe.

In March, we told how fashion fans had gone wild over the high-street store’s ‘Beige Wide Fit Woven Mules,’ which are a replica for the sell-out £860 Bottega Veneta woven mules.

With the same woven raffia detailing, slip-on style, peep toe and mid point heel, they’re almost identical to the ‘Beige Raffia Stretch Heeled Mules’ by the luxury Italian brand.

And the best part?

The River Island replica version have been slashed from £48 to £20 in the store’s sale – meaning fashion fans can get them for 58% off the original price.
