HAVE you got expensive taste when it comes to handbags but not the bank balance to match?
Well, you may just want to listen up…because Sainsbury’s is the latest in a long line of supermarkets who are flogging designer replicas that look almost identical to the real deal, but for a fraction of the price.

Fashion fans have been sent into a frenzy after noticing the supermarket store selling a dupe of Saint Laurent’s ‘Sac De Jour Nano Supple Grain Leather Satchel Bag’ in green.
With its similar shape and delicate gold detailing, there’s no denying the high-street version bears a striking similarity to the high-end bag.
However, while the designer one will set you back a £2,751, the Sainsbury’s replica retails at the bargain price of just £18, meaning it’s an impressive £2,733 cheaper.
However, eagle-eyed shoppers will notice a few small differences between the two.
The Saint Laurent bag is detailed with an understated foiled logo and is made of textured calfskin in Italy, while the Sainsbury’s dupe is made from faux leather.
The online product description for the high-street dupe reads: “Perfect for a spot of retail therapy, this khaki faux leather bag is sooo chic!
“With a handy carry handle, it comes with an adjustable longer strap, so it’s very versatile and has three inner compartments for keeping all your essentials secure.”
And with its expensive appearance but very reasonable price, it’s little no wonder the Sainsbury’s dupe has been flooded with five-star reviews online.
