River Island’s £32 clutch looks just like Acne Studios’ £600 designer version

Retailer River Island offers a handbag that bears a striking resemblance to a designer version. The cream knot detail purse, £32, looks remarkably similar to Acne Studios’ Musubi Mini Crossbody bag, which retails for £600.

Both the Acne Studios luxe bag and the River Island alternative feature intricate knot detailing at the front, making them standout fashion pieces. Both also come in an elegant off-white/cream shade that pairs perfectly with any chic ensemble.

Despite the similarities, there are some notable differences between the two articles. One such difference is the chain style and material for each bag.

The River Island bag has a gold metal chain, ideal for an evening out, while the Acne Studio bag has a long leather strap, more suitable for day outings. Another slight variation is the size of the jeans, the Acne Studio one being a mini bag, while the River Island one is slightly larger, reports the Daily Record.

The product description on River Island’s website highlights features such as a “knot detail,” a “detachable” strap, and “clip closure.” The River Island bag also comes in a silver color, making it a fantastic accessory choice for events like prom or weddings.

For those looking for a more basic clutch bag, H&M offers a stunning Silver Metal Clutch for £42.99. This small, minimalist accessory has a top clip and a thin metal strap, providing enough space for all your going out essentials.

Alternatively, if you prefer something softer but distinctive, you might like the rhinestone clutch better. Priced at £32.99, this beautiful black bag is embellished with small rhinestones all over the body.
