Shoppers have compared the retailer’s new handbags to a pricier designer label
Home Bargains shoppers are comparing a new £6 handbag to the designer Longchamp’s style. The luxury French brand has long been a go-to choice for shoppers seeking elegant leather accessories, and Longchamp’s Le Pliage bags are among the most popular styles. Easily recognised thanks to its distinctive design, Longchamp says style is popular with fashion fans worldwide.
Describing the bag on its website, Longchamp claims: “Iconic and world famous, Le Pliage draws its creative genius from origami. Instantly recognisable thanks to its flap and handles crafted from Russian leather, its ears and press stud, Le Pliage is one of Longchamp’s emblematic lines. Foldable, convenient and lightweight, its ingenuity appeals to all generations.”
While some shoppers may prefer the luxury version, not everyone is willing to pay the luxury price tag. Longchamp’s Le Pliage Original L Tote bag is sold for £125, while the smaller Le Pliage Original Pouch with handle is sold for £85.
For shoppers who would love a similar look at a more affordable price, Home Bargains could have just the solution. The retailer is selling a £6 accessory that fans have compared to Longchamp’s bags.
As seen in a social media post shared by TikTok user @Magsfinds, Home Bargains is selling two new ‘lookalike’ bags for customers to choose from. Available in black or red, the foldable tote bags feature a leather-look strap and handle that arguably closely resemble those of designer bags.
Fashion fan @Magsfinds compared the two brands in her post. Her caption said: “@Longchamp [alternative] at Home Bargains, only £5.99.” In another video, Instagram user @Chloscamerar0ll_ spotted two similar bags at Home Bargains, offered in a smaller size, and drew the same comparison.
She captioned her video: “Longchamp [alternatives] at Home Bargains,” before telling viewers: “Don’t walk, run for these.” Viewers were just as excited. One impressed fan commented: “Love thisss.” A second viewer wrote: “Adorbs.”
A shopper asked: “Do you know how much these were please?” and the creator replied: “£6.” Someone else commented: “Wow, super cheap, £6?!” and the creator said: “I know!! Such an amazing price, these are a need.”
Alternatively, bargain hunters looking for deals on tote bags might prefer Amazon’s £16.49 Women’s Nylon Tote Bag. The product description states: “Transition seamlessly from office to after-work engagements with this sophisticated yet functional shoulder bag.
“The minimalist design features clean lines and subtle texturing that works equally well with business attire or weekend casual wear. Available in multiple classic colour options to match your personal style while maintaining a polished, professional appearance suitable for any workplace environment.”
