Singer Lily Allen has been seen in London carrying a handbag that looks strikingly similar to a designer piece but costs a fraction of the price. The West End Girl star was spotted with Dune's large Deliberate shoulder bag, which closely resembles Bottega Veneta's £3,990 Hop Tote.
Priced at just £129, the Dune bag features the same woven leather texture, slouchy silhouette and oversized shape as the luxury version. However, it is made from faux leather rather than real leather, keeping the cost down. The bag is available in various colours, including burgundy, brown and khaki green snake print.
The Deliberate shoulder bag measures 16cm high, 46cm wide and 12cm deep, making it large enough to fit a laptop. An XL version is also available for £149, measuring 38cm high, 50cm wide and 10cm deep, ideal as an overnight bag.
The bag has received a 4.8-star rating from shoppers. One reviewer said: 'Very nice bag super quality soft and easy to wear.' Another praised its 'luxurious feel' and 'excellent quality.' Some noted the bag can gape open and the strap may slip, but overall it has been well received.
For those wanting a similar green bag, Accessorize offers a Woven Shoulder Bag on sale for £31.50, while Anthropologie sells a Woven Faux-Leather Oversized Slouchy Tote for £115, which reviewers have called a 'luxury dupe.'
