High street shops are winning when it comes to lookalike pieces that give the impression of being much more expensive than they are.
In the last few years, it’s becoming easier for fashion fans to create sophisticated outfits on a budget.
Adding chic accessories can be one of the simplest ways to upgrade an outfit, and several affordable bags have gone viral in the past, including an M&S shoulder bag that looked similar to Celine.
The latest bag that look similar to a designer version is the Fiorelli Valentina Tote bag, which costs £89.

Its designer counterpart is the Balenciaga Locker Medium North-South Hobo Bag, which costs £2250 and is part of the designer’s spring 2024 collection.
Fiorelli has worked hard to bring shoppers its own version in time for the season, and the huge saving means it’s much more accessible to the everyday shopper.
The chic bag comes in a choice of two colours, black and tan, with a faux leather finish, while Balenciaga’s is real leather.
The silhouette of the bags are strikingly similar, but Fiorelli’s has double shoulder straps and is slightly smaller.
The central zipped compartment and triple compartments are handy for organising all the everyday essentials.
The metallic lock detail is possibly the most similar part, with Fiorelli’s being a subtle addition the an otherwise simple look.
For an even more affordable option, M&S has a bag that offers a similar shape and size.
The Faux Leather Shoulder Bag is only £39.50, and is just as useful for everyday wear, with the same colour options as Fiorelli’s.
