Designer bags are highly coveted and, to me especially, are a luxury. So whenever a high street shop bring out a dupe of a more expensive bag I can’t resist getting my hands on it.
Obviously the quality won’t quite be the same, but when it looks similar for around 10% of the designer price, I personally don’t mind skimping on this aspect.
Chloé is a very high priced brand with their Faye Shoulder Bags coming in at over £1000 but you can get a very similar version from an inexpensive high street brand.
Keep reading to find out where!
You can get a dupe of the black Faye Shoulder Bag for a measly £16 from none other than Matalan!
The bag has a long shoulder strap, a faux leather body and a faux suede flap-over closure.
The closure boasts the signature silver ring and shuts with a popper mechanism that can’t be seen when the bag is shut with leather detailing over the suede.
The size is large enough for most of your essentials boasting quite a large space including an inside zip pocket.
Khaki maxi coat – Primark, no longer available, Black Heeled Boots – Primark, No longer available
To me it feels nice and sturdy for a high street product and it holds it shape nicely.
The bag is perfect for day trips requiring less baggage, or if you’re out for a meal or even drinks out.
I tend to take a lot of (probably unnecessary) things with my in my handbag and even I can fit my essentials in here when I need to downsize.
As it’s black it goes with absolutely everything, you can’t go wrong! A staple accessory that can take you through the transition into Spring.
You can buy the bag online from Matalan (not sponsored, I paid for this product).
What do you think to this dupe? Have you got your hands on the bag? I’d love to know your thoughts below!

Oh that’s nice, it looks really chic and like it cost way more than £16. Also loving your long khaki coat!
I bought a chloe dupe last year from ebay (https://helplesswhilstdrying.com/2016/05/20/ebay-haul/) and I don’t reach for it often enough – in fact I think I’ve only wore it once! (Note to self, crack this out and swap bags over tonight)
Thanks lovely, my coat is from Primark was £10 in the sale before Xmas! Ooh that is a lovely dupe too i love that colour!! Such a good price too! I want that phone case as well! Xx
Thats really nice. Love your coat too 🙂 x
Thanks lovely! Coat is from Primark but before christmas! xx
Great dupe, can’t believe it’s from Matalan! I’m obsessed with the Chloe Drew but it’s not even a little bit near my price range so this is a great alternative.

That’s a really lovely handbag. I could never, ever justify spending more than £50 or so on a bag, plus my tastes change so often that I’m always happy to find budget alternatives.

What an interesting post, hun! You are like Kate Moss when it comes to mixing high and low together!
It also reminds of when Anna Wintour put a new model on the cover called Michaela Bercu for the November 1988 issue. The model wore a Maltese cross Christian Lacroix top with a pair of jeans and the rest is history! Props to you!!
