Fendi’s £340 knot bracelet is the perfect chic accessory, but we managed to track down a much more affordable version for just £55 that gives you the designer look for less
A great accessory is the easiest way to elevate even the most basic outfit, and Fendi’s Filo Bracelet adds an instant, elegant charm to any look. However, its £340 price tag can make it quite the splurge, which is why we were quick to snap up Abbott Lyon’s Knot Bangle instead.
Priced at a much more affordable £55, the bangle is the perfect way to get a designer-inspired look for less. Just like the Fendi one, it features a simple knotted design in the centre, with a narrow metal band that slots over your wrist for an instant outfit upgrade.

Abbott Lyon’s Knot Bangle comes in two different mixed metal colourways, each featuring one main metal shade with small contrasting details. The gold bangle with silver woven into the knot gives you the closest look to Fendi’s, however it’s currently out of stock – although hopefully it’ll be returning soon.
The silver version, however, which features subtle rose gold details in the knot, is still very much available for the same £55 price tag. You also have the option of personalising it by adding a second dainty chain bracelet to create a stack, with the add on currently on sale down from £35 to £17.50.
If you do want an all-gold version, you could always snap up the Gold Love Knot Cuff for £65 from Emma Holland Jewellery, or Safana Jewellery’s Knot Bangle, which currently has 25% off taking the price from £55 to £41.25. If you prefer a bracelet that fastens all the way around your wrist, Olivia Burton’s Lover’s Knot Gold Plated Bangle is the perfect pick at £70.
However, just like all of Abbott Lyon’s other jewellery, the Knot Bangle is water-, sweat- and heat-resistant, not to mention finished in a tarnish-proof coating which keeps it looking as good as new no matter where you wear it. It’s made from silver and 18k rose gold-plated brass, and has a lovely weight to it that feels expensive whilst still being comfortable and unobtrusive to wear.
The mixed metals also mean you can pair it with any other colour of jewellery, whether you prefer to stick to all silver for a cohesive look, or want to switch it up with rose gold accessories to draw attention to the bracelet’s details. It’s also elegant enough to wear for any occasion, whether it’s to work, for a smart dinner, or just as an everyday piece.
