River Island is selling a cut-price pair of heeled sandals that luxury fashion fans might find familiar. With spring officially here, many people are looking to refresh their wardrobes in time for warmer weather, without having to splash out.
Retailers have already brought in their new spring/summer lines in stores, but that doesn't mean it's too late to grab a bargain from last year's stock online. River Island's sale is ongoing, with many products priced at less than half of their original price.
Among them is a pair of beige woven mules, which are wide fit and have a slim heel of 6cm in height. They're on sale for £20 down from £48 - a price slash of 58 per cent.

Shoppers who know their high-end designers might notice the resemblance to a designer pair by Bottega Veneta, which come with a hefty £860 price tag. Both of the slip-on sandals have woven raffia detailing, with a square-shaped open toe design.
The luxury Italian-made pair have a slightly higher heel at 3.75ins, but both have the same curved shape and tan tips at the bottom of the heel. Bottega's have a criss-cross twist to add interest to the woven fabric, whereas the River Island pair are accented instead with gold chain detailing.
One downside of the bargain 'dupe', however, is the lack of sizing due to it being sale stock. Only sizes 3, 4 and 5 are left at the time of writing, and it's marked up on the website as an 'online only' product.
Anyone keen to get their hands on a pair in a larger size can still snap them up elsewhere, if they don't mind paying a few more pounds. ASOS are also selling the River Island pair for £27 in the sale, with sizes 3-8 all in stock at the time of writing.
RAID London, which also stocks some products on ASOS, also has a pair that look very similar to the Bottega Veneta mules, priced at £34.99. And if you're not keen on a high heel or prefer a chunkier look, then TU at Sainsbury's has a £18 pair of mules with a similar slip-on style and woven raffia fabric on the heel.
