Marks and Spencer's 'sophisticated' £39 handbag could easily be mistaken for £13,000 designer Hermes version

Marks and Spencer fans have been blown away by the high-street retailer's 'classy' and 'timeless' Faux Leather Top Handle Tote Bag, which could easily be mistaken for designer brand Hermes' iconic Kelly bag. But while the designer version costs upwards of £13,00, and is almost impossible to get hold of, the M&S Collection bag is an affordable £39.50 - a whopping 329 times cheaper.

Marks and Spencer's Faux Leather Top Handle Tote Bag is a classic style with multiple compartments to keep belongings organised. It can be carried by the top handles for more sophisticated ocassions, or worn across the body for a more relaxed look. Its long strap can be adjusted to achieve the perfect fit, or removed completely for an alternative look.

The twist lock on the flap closure can be undone to reveal two internal compartments and a handy slip pocket to keep items secure and neatly organised. The £39.50 M&S Collection handbag comes in two classic colourways - Black and Tan - so can be paired with virtually any outfit for a chic and sophisticated look.
