River Island’s £43 Summer wedding guest bag could easily be mistaken for luxury £595 Dolce & Gabbana version

River Island is selling the most stunning tote bag for £47 that could easily be mistaken for one from designer brand Dolce & Gabbana. The Blue Baroque Tote Bag is an Italian inspired item that has an uncanny resemblance to D&G’s £595 Sicily tile-print crossbody bag.

The high street retailer currently has a wide range of chic and stylish handbags - just in time for summer - and the Blue Baroque Tote Bag is like an Italian dream.

The faux leather bag features a gold chain strap and buckle - it also comes in a crossbody version for just £43.

If you wanted to complete the set, River Island also has a Blue Baroque Quilted purse for £18 which would fit perfectly in either bag.

The Baroque themed range resembles a £595 Sicily styled crossbody bag from the luxury Italian fashion house. While both bags are sky blue, the designer version is made from calf leather and has a crystal embellishment.

If you’re attending a wedding this summer, River Island’s Blue Baroque Tote Bag would add an elegant touch to complete your look.

The crossbody bag is ideal for a night out in town or would glam up an everyday outfit.

If you’re looking for something a little more compact, New Look’s Bright Blue Faux Croc Chain Cross Body Bag is just shy of a five star review online.

It’s currently on sale for £14.99, with those who have bought the bag praising it for being a “great size for a night out or going away.”
