Pretty Little Thing’s slouchy tote bag is a must-have for fashion fans looking for a dupe of Bottega’s £3k weave bag
HANDS up if you’ve ever stared longingly at a designer handbag in a shop window, be honest.
If your bank balance won’t allow for high-end bags, you might want to pick up this designer dupe and save over £3,000 – all whilst looking stylish.
Move over Aldi and M&S, there is a new destination for designer dupes: Pretty Little Thing.
While you might associate the fast fashion brand with Love Island, it has launched a new range of handbags that look more high-end than high street.
Even better, these bargain bags are all £35 and under – proving that you don’t have to spend a small fortune to look good.
If you weren’t already sold, you might want to look at the tote which is nearly identical to an iconic Bottega Veneta design but costs a fraction of the price.

Featuring the same stunning weave design, the Pretty Little Thing bag is the perfect off-duty accessory with its slouchy style and large looped handle.
Alternatively, you can turn your daily commute into a catwalk as the bag is large enough to hold all your essentials – including a laptop.
It even has a catch at the centre to keep your belongings secure and an internal zip to keep your keys in, so you won’t have to scrabble around before opening your front door.
Available in a rich chocolate brown or bright cherry red, the bag can also be worn across the body as it also comes with a large strap which easily clips into place.
Rather than paying £3,140 for the Bottega Veneta bag though, which is made from super soft calfskin leather, you can bag the high-street alternative for just £26.
This isn’t the only designer dupe that fashionistas have spotted on the Pretty Little Thing website, with a YSL look-a-like also available online.
The clasp detail shoulder bag is the perfect day-to-night accessory, with the leather look material and gold hardware giving major ‘quiet luxury vibes’.
Just like the YSL version, it has an adjustable strap and pocket which is ideal for storing your phone, keys and a few essentials.
Whilst we are in love with the chic black design, there is a stunning pastel yellow also available online and it might be our new favourite spring accessory.
As the sweet handbag costs less than £25, you could even afford to get both colours – especially if you don’t decide to splash on the high-end alternative.
For anyone curious about the YSL design, you can find the monogram leather hobo bag in Selfridges for an eyewatering £1775.
Alternatively, you could pick up the Pretty Little Thing version for just £20 online.

Even if you do decide to bag both designs, you still be saving a staggering £1735 – just by switching to the high street dupe.
