Obsessed with Celine’s Triomph bag but can’t afford to shell out almost £3,000? Shop these dupes instead. I’ve been lusting over the Celine bag since I first set my eyes on it, but with the hefty price tag I haven’t quite been able to take the plunge just yet. The good news is that the high street has worked its magic once again to bring out a selection of box bags that look almost identical to the designer’s without the luxury price tag.
The box bag is timeless, versatile and eternally stylish, but it’s also practical and wearable. It will take you from loungewear to office wear and even Friday night drinks, which is exactly why I need to add it to my wardrobe ASAP. You simply cannot go wrong with a black crossbody bag and gold hardware; it elevates any outfit choice and adds a chic element to anything you’re wearing.
While the Celine bag will set you back a hefty £3k, I’ve found some dead-ringers for the Celine bag starting from just £35.99, a fraction of the price tag of the original. In my opinion, the M&S version is probably the best dupe in terms of look and feel and it has the cheapest price tag of all the similar styles I found too.
So let’s take a closer look. Here are some of the best lookalike bags that all have the look and feel of the real bag without the alarming price tag. If you’re still planning to invest in a Celine bag or perhaps some other designer items, read more about the Farfetch Black Friday sale this year.

A good mid-way point between Celine and M&S’ bags is this beautiful crossbody bag from Coach, coming in at £295. I personally love the top handle, a detail that shouldn’t be underestimated. Thanks to Prada, top handle bags are one of this season’s key bag trends.
