New Look’s ‘gorgeous’ £30 bag ‘almost identical’ to £260 designer version

New Look shoppers are heaping praise on a “gorgeous” bag that could easily be mistaken for a designer version. The bag has proven popular with fans online, where it’s been dubbed a “must have”.

TheNew Look Leather-Look Tote Bag, which is priced at £29.99, looks very similar to the Rebecca Minkoff Megan Tote, which comes in at £260. This large price difference means shoppers could save around £230 by opting for the high street version.

The New Look bag is currently available in burgundy. The bag was also previously available in black, which has now sold out.

The two bags look very similar, featuring almost identical shapes and top handles. They also have similar dog-clip hardware on the front, though the designer version’s is all black.

However, the Rebecca Minkoff bag is made with real leather, while the New Look bag is registered by The Vegan Society and is completely animal free. The designer bag is currently available in a wide variety of colours, while New Look’s is only available in burgundy right now.

The New Look product description reads: “Shaped with top handles and a practical internal zip compartment, this spacious tote bag is ideal for the office, term time and everything in between”.

The New Look bag has an overall rating of 4.5 stars online, having racked up positive reviews. Among them, one person said: “Beautiful colour and ideal size for transporting everything I need for work. Would take shopping as well. Nice soft leather look”.

A second shopper wrote: “Gorgeous colour, loads of room, looks expensive! Could have done with pockets internally though”. A third added: “Excellent item, even better in person. Soft, quality feel and great size for school folders”.

Another added: “Roomy and stylish! Colour bang on for this season. I love it! Perfect colour for this season”!

However, not all shoppers were so impressed with the bag. One person said: “Delivered on time. Nice bag for someone but not me! Much bigger than I thought. Very floppy and didnt like the ‘ loose ‘ zip bit inside”.

Alternatively, shoppers can snap up similar bags from other retailers. John Lewis stocks the Mango Cobalt Large Tote Bag for £25.99, while M&amp, S has the Faux Leather Shoulder Tote Bag, priced at £45. If you’d rather stick with a designer option, Radley has the Suffolk Road Large Ziptop Shoulder for £79, down from £159.
