M&S shoppers spot £45 'dream' bag that's just like £400 designer version

With summer just around the corner shoppers are on the lookout for some great deals and Marks and Spencer's fans have spotted a 'dream' £45 beach bag which they say is a dupe of a £400 version from the Spanish designer Loewe. M&S is known for creating popular dupes of designer items, including bags and perfumes.

Now, one of the latest pieces to launch in M&S' 2023 spring and summer range has been highlighted by shoppers as being a 'good copy' of a handful of expensive designer brands, including Loewe. M&S's new £45 Straw Striped Tote Bag is trending on the retailer's site, with 40 sales in the last two days and more than 14 reviews comparing it to well-known designers, as reported by Liverpool Echo.

Branded as being a 'to-die-for' bag, the product has been praised for having a high-end quality feel and finish. One shopper said: "This is a bag of dreams. I love this bag, it's giving Loewe/Jacquemus beach bag vibes." You can keep up to date with the latest What's On news by signing up to the newsletter here.

Another shopper compared it to the distinct Leowe style and said: "I ordered the tan version. It's a good quality bag with an inside secure pouch. I think for the price it could have had leather detailing but it looks expensive and stylish. Purchased as a dupe of the Loewe bag."

The bag has been released in three different colours: a 'Pink Mix', 'White Mix' and 'Natural', with the natural colour proving to be the most popular out of the options, and most similar to the Loewe version. You can buy the bag here.

Other popular M&S dupes include their own brand fragrances like 'Midnight Blossom' (£9.50) which has been compared to designer bottles that go for around £100, like Yves Saint Laurent's Black Opium.
