If you want to nab yourself a stylish designer handbag without the price tag this summer, then we have found the perfect 'dupe' for you.
The bag in question is La Redoute's Horsebit Handbag that looks to have taken inspiration from Gucci's 1955 Horsebit Bag. In fact, it looks almost identical to the luxury handbag that would set you back £2,430.
Luckily, online retailer La Redoute has currently launched a massive Big Summer Sale, which includes the Gucci 'dupe'. Originally priced at £34, the stylish handbag has been reduced to just £17 - saving shoppers 50 percent of the original price.
Overall, it means that designer fans can snap up an almost identical version of the classic Gucci handbag for £2,413 less - which is a saving many of us can get behind.
The iconic Gucci handbag, which pays homage to the brand's equestrian roots, has long been a staple among fashion fans, thanks to its stylish retro aesthetic and signature horsebit detailing that make it the perfect addition to any summer outfit.
Luckily, the La Redoute Horsebit Bag offers a budget-friendly alternative, as it is features some of the same hallmarks as the Gucci version, such as a similar brown shade, an adjustable shoulder strap, horsebit magentic detail, two interior pockets, a zipped pocket and foldover flap.
One of the major differences is that the classic Gucci 1955 Horsebit Bag is made from textured leather, while the La Redoute 'dupe' has been crafted from 100% polyurethane that is a lighter shade. The lining in the Gucci is also different, as it has been made from pink microsuede, while La Redoute's is made from 100% polyester.
Differences aside, it is hard to miss the uncanny resemblance between both handbags as the affordable 'dupe' comes complete with the same features that has made the Gucci handbag iconic since it was first launched, just at over £2,000 less.
A description for the La Redoute Horsebit Bag reads: "This compact bag is ultra chic, with a slightly retro vibe. Guaranteed to add style to any outfit. It's super practical with 2 compartments to keep all your belongings neatly organised."
The La Redoute handbag is also a must-have summer accessory, thanks to its versatility. Whether paired with a summer blouse and jeans or even a simple dress, it is an elegant touch that can be worn up or down all season long.
Shoppers can purchase the £17 Horsebit Handbag from the La Redoute Big Summer Sale online now.
