M&S show off all its bag dupes including the £35 Celine look-a-like and the iconic Cos quilted number for £50 cheaper
MOST women dream of owning a designer handbag, whether as an investment or just to have the ‘must-have’ bag in their wardrobe.
While you might not have the bank balance for a Birkin, you can bags similar to your favourite designers at M&S – for a fraction of the cost.
With shoppers eager to bag a bargain, the department store have even shared it’s almost identical designs on Tiktok.
Filmed in the Finsbury branch, the staff hilariously showed off their handbag selection with a tongue-in-cheek caption that read: “Really pretty bags which *might* resemble designer bags.”
The first item that was being added to shopping carts was the iconic cross body bag, which viral last summer after fashionistas realised it was virtually identical to a Celine handbag worth over £2500.
Having sold out in virtually every M&S store, the boxy bag is now is now back on shelves and comes in either black or brown.
Featuring the same brush gold clasp, the faux-leather had bag has a classic design with two compartments and inner pocket to store your phone.
The bag even has an adjustable strap for comfort, making it perfect for day filled with running errands – not bad for £35.
The video even had a cheeky on screen caption, that read: “*Potential* designer dupes.”
As the shop assistant moved around the shop, she emphasised the word ‘dupes’ with as squeaky voice as she moved on to the next handbag.
Next on our wish list was stunning canvas bag, with which looked extremely similar to the Marc Jacobs Tote bag.
Featuring the same navy and cream colouring, the handbag has magnetic closure and secret zip pocket making it the perfect summer accessory.
Whilst the high end equivalent costs over £225 online, Marks and Spencer are selling theirs for 339.50 – saving you a staggering £185.
Of course, the infamous Cos dupe also made the viral video with the padded bag appearing on a manikin in the department store.
Just like the high end version, the bag has chunky padded panels and gives major Y2K vibes with it’s rounded handle.
Made from recycled polyester, the M&S design had retailed for £35 and came in three colours: pink, cream and black.
Sadly, it’s already sold out online so you will have to head to your near branch as the Cos version still cost £85.
Finally, the video ended with the shop assistant ‘personal favourite’: a gorgeous shoulder bag with a crocodile skin design.
Available in either black or brown, the handbag is effortlessly chic thanks to its slouchy look and gold style hardware.
Similar to the Cleo Bag from Prada (worth roughly £2,400), the M&S classic bag costs just £79 and its made from responsible sourced leather.
Though the video highlighted a few of our favourite picks, there are still more bargains to be found on the shop floor.
In fact, the retails has dupes for the classic Birkin bag – which is worth a whooping £19,974 in Hermes.
Meanwhile, you can find a strikingly similar faux leather handbag in M&S with the same lock fastening for just £39.50.
