River Island's 'made for spring' £40 bucket bag looks similar to £350 Marc Jacobs version

River Island fans are flocking to buy the high street retailer’s 'made for spring' Weave Bucket Cross Body Bag, which could easily be mistaken for designer brand Marc Jacobs. The £38 bargain bag could save fashion fans hundreds of pounds as River Island’s version looks nearly identical to The Leather Mini Bucket Bag - which originally costs £350.

The bucket crossbody bag , which has been labelled as 'selling fast' by River Island, is fairly large and spacious which is perfect for almost any occasion. The impressive dimensions are L24x W32cm x D10cm and it can be brought to work, taken on holidays, and is equally as perfect for nights out and days out shopping.

The gorgeous orange colourway makes the budget-friendly bag perfect for the upcoming spring months and all the way into summer. And Its chic and sleek design makes this £38 bag look far more expensive than its modest price tag.

Crafted from a faux-leather weave fabric in a spring orange colourway, the bag features a buckle detail with gold hardware and a grab top handle, perfect for throwing on your shoulder or carrying in your hand. It also has a popper fastening for extra security.

Many handbag lovers tend to invest in big name brands whose luxurious bags stand the test of time, and for many, Marc Jacobs' prices are fairly mid-ranged when it comes to designer bags. The £350 Leather Mini Bucket Bag has been slashed in the Marc Jacobs' January sale, along with dozen of other luxury bags.
