WE all love a bargain dupe, and this one from Marks & Spencer is perfect if you love the premium look but not the price tag.
A classic black bag is a must for any wardrobe, but some luxe brands can cost you thousands, which isn’t exactly budget-friendly.
So if you’ve been eyeing up a posh leather bag like the Saint Laurent Le 5 À 7 Bea tote, but don’t fancy forking out £2,654, Marks & Spencer has you covered.
The M&S Faux Leather Shoulder Tote Bag is priced at just £45 and looks almost identical to the designer brand.
Although the bag isn’t made from real leather, you’d never be able to tell.
It features an adjustable shoulder strap, detachable pouch, internal pockets and sleek magnet fastening for easy access – what’s not to love?
Meanwhile, the designer version of the bag has fixed straps, which can be annoying, especially if you’re wearing a thick coat during the winter months.
And although there’s a magnet fastening on both, the internal pockets do feature a zip on both bags, so you know your valuables will be safe when you’re out and about.
“This faux leather tote bag is a versatile choice for carrying your essentials,” Marks & Spencer bosses noted.
The chic bag has perfect five-star reviews so far too, with fashion fans raving about its “value for money.”
One Marks & Spencer shopper said: “I bought it as an everyday bag after seeing it on display in the local store.
“The bag is good and spacious for holding folders etc. and the shoulder straps are long enough to be comfortable. Good value for money.”

“Great size – just what I needed.”
The YSL bag dupe isn’t the only thing from the designer brand Marks & Spencer shoppers have been gushing over recently though.
Made in Chelsea’s Georgia Toffolo recently took to social media to sing the praises of the M&S suede loafers, which look just like a pair from YSL.

The suede leather loafers come in two colours, chocolate brown and taupe.
They have a flat heel to keep your feet comfortable all day long and a saddle finish along the front for extra detail.
The leather shoes are bargain at £55 and people have been comparing them to YSL’s which retail for £770.
The dupe could save you £715 in total while adding a luxe designer look to your outfit.
M&S bosses say: “These loafers bring timeless style and luxe texture to your footwear collection.”
Customers who have managed to get their hands on the viral shoes have taken to the M&S website to rave about them.
One person wrote: “Great loafers for a great price. They’re lightweight and very comfortable. Just love it when I don’t have to break shoes in.”
Another commented: “The quality and comfort of these shoes are amazing for their price. They are also a dupe of a designer brand.”
