River Island's new bag bears a striking resemblance to a designer version. The Cream Knot Detail Clutch Bag from River Island, priced at £32, mirrors the Musubi Mini Crossbody Bag from Acne Studios, which carries a hefty price tag of £600.
Both the high-end Acne Studios bag and River Island's alternative showcase intricate knot detailing on the front, making them standout fashion pieces. They also both come in an elegant white/cream shade that pairs perfectly with any ensemble.
Despite the similarities, there are noticeable differences between the two items. One such difference lies in the chain styles and materials used for each bag's handle.
The River Island bag features a gold metal chain, ideal for an evening out, while the Acne Studio bag sports a long leather crossbody strap, more suited for daytime outings. Another slight variation is the size of the bags, with the Acne Studio one being a mini bag, while the River Island one is slightly larger.
The product description on the River Island website highlights features such as a 'knot detail', a 'detachable' strap, and a 'clip top fastening'. The River Island bag also comes in a silver colour, making it a fantastic accessory choice for proms or weddings.
If you're in the market for a clutch bag but prefer something a bit more understated, H&M offers a stunning silver Metal Clutch bag priced at £42.99. This is the ideal small, simplistic accessory with a clip top and thin metal strap, providing just enough room for all your night-out essentials.
Alternatively, if you're drawn to something a bit softer yet still distinctive, the Rhinestone-embellished Clutch might be more up your alley. Priced at £32.99, this beautiful jet black bag is adorned with tiny rhinestones across its entire body.
