River Island shoppers say £34 bag looks 'exactly like' £1450 designer version

High street fashion retailer River Island has stunned shoppers with a £34 bag - which people think looks similar to a £1450 Balenciaga bag.

River Island is selling a mini silver tote bag for £34, which comes with a handle and croc-effect material.

It's completed with a silver R buckle - which shoppers say is similar to the B buckle on Balenciaga's Hourglass bag.

The Balenciaga Hourglass Bag is currently on sale for £1450 on the Balenciaga website.

River Island shared a picture of the bag on Instagram, where shoppers were quick to point out the similarities.

"A cheap version of Balenciaga," said one shopper.

Another wrote: "Beautiful."

"Wow wow wow," exclaimed a third.

A fourth wrote: "Ooh."

The Silver RR mini tote bag is available to buy on the River Island website now.
