The bag looks very similar to one spotted on Molly Mae – but without the huge price tag
Boohoo is selling a “perfect” bag that looks just like one worn by Molly Mae Hague. The former Love Island star and Maebe owner was spotted wearing a designer bag from Bottega Veneta – but there’s a much cheaper alternative on the market.
Molly Mae wore the Bottega Veneta Hop medium intrecciato leather tote on Instagram earlier this year, and many shoppers commented on the post asking where to find the bag. However, the designer tote comes with a hefty price tag, which means not everyone can afford it.
Instead, shoppers could opt for Boohoo’s Woven Slouchy Tote Bag, which could easily be mistaken for the designer version. The Boohoo bag is currently on sale for £14.40, down from its original price of £24
The two bags look almost identical, with a number of similar features. They both have matching woven designs, a thick shoulder strap and a sleek, curved silhouette.
However, there are some slight differences too, including that the Boohoo bag has a less structured shape and a portion of the strap is somewhat different. The designer bag is made with leather, while Boohoo’s is polyester, and the closures are different too – one has a zip while the other is magnetic.
The full Boohoo description reads: “This woven tote bag is the perfect companion for the fashion-forward woman on the go. The intricate weave pattern adds a touch of sophistication to any outfit, making it suitable for both casual daytime looks and evening ensembles.
“Pair it with a flowing maxi dress and strappy sandals for a chic brunch date, or use it to carry your work essentials with tailored trousers and a crisp blouse. The bag’s generous size allows you to transition seamlessly from day to night, accommodating everything from your laptop to your evening makeup touch-up kit.
“For a trendy street style look, contrast the bag’s sleek design with oversized sunglasses and a relaxed denim jacket. Whether you’re heading to the office, meeting friends for cocktails, or embarking on a weekend city break, this versatile tote will keep you stylishly organised.”
The designer description states: “Bottega Veneta’s tote perfectly showcases the label’s fine craftsmanship. Made from strips of supple leather, it’s woven using the house’s signature intrecciato technique – the result is a streamlined shape that slightly slouches in the middle.
“The top handle elegantly arches, so it’ll sit neatly in the crook of your arm. Secure your essentials in the zipped pocket inside.”
Boohoo’s Woven Slouchy Tote Bag is priced at £14.40 (down from £24), while Bottega Veneta’s Hop medium intrecciato leather tote comes in at £3,100 online. This means shoppers could save around £3,085 by opting for the budget version.
