Marks and Spencer's £35 bag that’s a dupe of £3k Celine accessory is back after selling out in 24 hours

And it's now available in three brand new colours for summer

Marks and Spencer shoppers have been rushing to buy a ‘stylish’ £35 bag that looks just like a £3,000 designer handbag . The dupe was spotted by eagle-eyed fashion fans last year, and it's finally back in stock after selling out almost immediately.

The M&S faux leather crossbody bag could save shoppers a whopping £2,915 compared to one from luxury brand Celine .

The bag formed part of the high street favourite's Autumn / Winter collection, and was available in black, tan and khaki, but has since undergone a spring and summer update with new white, pink and multi designs to brighten up your outfit.

The dupe was first spotted by radio presenter Melissa Riddell who shared a video to her TikTok account, commenting: "Girls, I’ve just come into Marks and Spencer and found this bag. I was actually looking for bedding but obviously got distracted. Does this not look just like the Celine classic box bag ? Honestly, £35, we’re taking this home."

Followers rushed to encourage her to buy the dupe, with one writing: "Go on, treat yourself, have all three. The Celine would set you back what? £3k? All three of the M&S ones for £105. " Another added: "Get. Them. All."

"Hmmm £35 or nearly £3,000. Yep, M&S for the win. Such a good dupe," wrote a third, while another commented: "Going to have to get this before it sells out."

Now available in the six shades rather than three, you could snap them all up for £210 and still save a fortune compared to the premium purse.

The £35 accessory has an accordion-style design with two spacious compartments, plus a zipped inside pocket for stowing your valuables.

Marks and Spencer added: "An adjustable cross-body strap ensures a comfortable fit and the pushlock fastening keeps your belongings secure. This piece is finished with stylish brushed gold hardware."

The fashionable purse had racked up hundreds of five-star reviews from shoppers, with one writing: "Super nice dupe. A very classical cute compact size bag."

Another added: "Great bag for the price. Really stylish and a good copy of similar designer styles. Well made and good quality materials."

While a third wrote: "Great everyday stylish bag, chose the black version and now want several other colours for my collection. Didn't realise how close it was a dupe, which is a win. Plus a lot of space in the inside the bag."

What's more is that, when shoppers spend £30 at M&S they can pick up the new M&S Summer Beauty Bag worth £155 for just £25. The bag features no fewer than 11 beauty buys from best-loved brands like Clinique, Pixi and Phillip Kingsley, seven of which are full sized.

The M&S Summer Beauty Bag 2023 launched online this morning at 7am with the deal also available in stores. Previous years have seen the hotly anticipated beauty bundle sell out in as little as 48 hours, so you’ll have to be quick if you did want to get your hands on it.

M&S aren't the only retailer to be stocking so-called dupes of higher end brands, though. Earlier this week, shoppers spotted that this £8 Twisted Handle Crossbody Bag from I Saw It First was very similar to the Jacquemus Le Chiquito Noeud Coiled handbag , which is £675.

But the M&S version of the Celine bag save shoppers a lot more money, and with it's classic style, will go with every outfit, too. You can shop the faux leather cross body bag on the M&S website here.
