BAG A BARGAIN

This £28 River Island bag is VERY similar to Valentino’s £1,800 sell-out accessory

RIVER Island have brought a designer look to the high-street with this cross body bag.

The accessory, which is embellished with gold studs, is very similar to Valentino's sell-out line.

The popular retailer is flogging the grey bag for just £28.

It features metallic detailing and a faux gold strap, which are lookalikes for Valentino's Rockstud medium leather shoulder bag.

Both options also boast quilted detailing on the flap.

The biggest difference between the items is the price - as you'd have to fork out £1,800 for the designer version.

You may also notice a difference quality of the bag, which is made from leather.

The River Island arm-wear is so affordable because it has been fashioned out of 20 per cent Polyester and 80 per cent Polyurethane.

River Island aren't the only brand who are producing designer-looking clothing items this season.

In July we revealed that Primark is selling a £9.99 pair of embroidered EGO loafers which are dead ringers for ones from Gucci… and they’re also £520 cheaper.


BAG A BARGAIN These high-street bags are fraction of the price of luxury versions


The budget store is also selling a copy of red Balenciaga trainers for £411 less than the designer version.

Balenciaga is known for its experimental fashion, with its £1.6k tote bag which looks just like a 40p IKEA shopping bag.
