I’ve been lusting over Prada’s raffia tote for a full year now, but I just can’t bring myself to part with £1,400 on the designer arm candy.
Luckily I don’t have to, because plenty of designer brands like Mango and H&M has released the most glorious straw tote bags that looks almost identical – minus the designer stamp of course.

New releases on the high street are always very much inspired by fashion’s biggest hitters, so it wasn’t a big surprise to see the brand taking note of one of Prada’s most wanted styles.
Theirs come in a variety of colours, including lilac, white, yellow, blue and black. Sadly you won’t see the same variety from H&M, but they’re still very chic nonetheless.
Whilst the luxury label’s will set you back over a grand, the high street versions are a fraction of that.
We all know trends tend to come and go (and then come back again), so it’s not a bad idea to save your pennies on fleeting ones.
For more classic designer pieces, such as Dior saddle bags, Gucci Jackie bags or Burberry trenches, I’d always recommend investing. You can always make your money back again, as many of these actually increase in value over time.
Wondering how to style it? This bag is one of the most versatile out there. Team with a spring dress, chunky sandals and you’re pretty much good to go!
