Best-selling shoulder bag that looks like Hermes for £21k less is back in stock
Want the designer look without spending a fortune? There's a best-selling handbag that looks just like the iconic Hermes Berkin bag but without the £22k price tag While we all may crave the luxury look when it comes to our accessories, price tags between £22k and £32k are outside of the average budget - yes you read that right. The celebrity-loved and iconic statement piece, the Hermes Berkin bag, is currently selling for around £23,950, with other colours and measurements retailing for higher price points like £32,750 - costs which are likely outside of most of our bank accounts (if that doesn't sound like an impossibel amount to you, we're jealous). But, that doesn't mean you have to sacrafice the designer look, as there's a best-selling shoulder bag that boasts all the style, elegance and luxury of the classic Berkin, with a much more feasible price tag. Recently restocked after it flew off virtual shelves, DeMillier's The Hudson shoulder bag is the perfect piece to add to your collection if you want to exude those luxe vibes, without blowing the bank. The Hudson is designed to last, making it the perfect investment piece to keep in your wardrobe for every occasion, for many seasons to come. Featuring an iconic belted strap and gold-plated lock akin to that of the Hermes bag, The Hudson offers both practicality and sophistication. Versatile and spacious, the bag adapts effortlessly to everyday needs, with expandable side panels that adjust with stud fastenings to provide extra space, making it an ideal choice whether as your everday casual bag or your new go-to work bag, as it offers plenty of capacity to store all of your essentials and more. Securely closed with a dog clip fastening, this bag promises to keep your belongings safe in style. Meanwhile, the two leather handle holders keep the top handles neatly together, so you don't have to worry about your items spilling out every time you pop the bag. Complete with a top handle and an adjustable, removable crossbody strap for various styling options and ease of carrying, this sophisticated bag can be styled in hand, on the crook of the arm, or across the body. Earning more points than just it's timeless and chic look, The Hudson is ethically made from sustainably sourced, LWG gold-rated Italian leather, blending a luxury, classic style with contemporary refinement. Retailing for £550, this bag comes in various colourways and designs to choose from - but I'd hurry, this gem has already sold-out once before, and you won't want to miss this chance again. For alternative styles emulating Hermes' classic and chic look, check out Dune's Direct Tote Bag for £62.
