Boohoo has made a whopping £1,769m in revenue. Social media is key to Boohoo's success with £116.8m spent on marketing campaigns in 2020-2021. About 40% of Boohoo's clothing is produced in the UK.

DO you have designer taste but don't have the budget to match? Well, if so, you've come to the right place, as we've found a gorgeous designer-inspired bag that's sure to turn heads this season. 5 Boohoo has slashed the price of their 'spacious and stylish' bag that looks just like a designer version loved by Molly-Mae Credit: Instagram 5 So if you've got the same style as the Maebe founder, you won't want to miss this Credit: Boohoo 5 Boohoo's bag is strikingly similar to the iconic Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Leather Tote Credit: net-a-porter 5 Molly-Mae is often seen with the black woven bag Credit: Instagram It looks strikingly similar to one of Molly-Mae Hague's favourite accessories and it's super purse-friendly. Thanks to Boohoo, shoppers can now get their hands on a 'perfect' bag that's not only been hailed as 'stylish' but super 'spacious' too. It's strikingly similar to a bag the former Love Island star and Filter founder loves by designer brand Bottega Veneta. But rather than the luxe price tag, it's over £3,000 cheaper - yes, you heard that correctly.

As well as a discount of £9.60 on the affordable accessory, it's also £3,085.60 less than the Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Leather Tote. The two bags look almost identical, with a number of similar features. They both have matching woven designs, a thick shoulder strap and a sleek, curved silhouette. According to Boohoo bosses, this woven tote bag is 'the perfect companion for the fashion-forward woman on the go'. I refuse to spend £140 on a blazer from Molly-Mae's Maebe range so found a local supermarket dupe and saved myself £100 As well as having an intricate weave pattern which is sure to add a touch of sophistication to any outfit, it's suitable for both casual daytime looks and evening ensembles. It can be paired with a flowing maxi dress and strappy sandals for a chic brunch date, or is brilliant for carrying your work essentials with tailored trousers and a smart blazer. Why you should always buy a dupe over designer... Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend says it's time fashion snobs stopped looking down their noses at affordable versions of designer buys. Bargain US supermarket Walmart became a social media sensation when its £60 dupe of Hermès' Birkin bag, dubbed the Wirkin, went viral. Influencer @styledbykristi gushed: "Eighty dollars (£60), you can pretend that you got a Birkin. I mean, everyone will probably know it's not, because who the hell has the money to spend on the real Birkin? Not me.' Me neither. And why bother? I would never spend that on a designer bag (although if someone wants to buy one for me, that's a different story). Plus, if I splashed that much, I'd feel I was being ripped off... We've all been told how the leading brands use the finest leather, thread, dyes and craftsmanship in the world. But all that is inflated by fashion houses to create the desired illusion of exclusivity. Just last year, Dior came under investigation for paying £44 to assemble a bag that sells for £2,000. So while you might think you are paying for top-level craftsmanship carried out by a true artisan, chances are the poorly paid workers are not seeing any of your hard-earned cash. Dupes — not to be mistaken for knock-offs that copy everything from the logo to the inside label — are a more practical and all-round sensible way to go. I bought my first when I was 18. It lasted me four years and only broke after I wore it in the shower. And these days, British high streets have plenty of dupes. In the past three years, Marks & Spencer, H&M and Mango have all seen huge spikes in sales thanks to their canny copies. They use the same viral, must-have marketing tactics that pricey brands have. Fashion folk will tell you that you are making an investment and buying a 'heritage piece' and will turn their noses up at a high street equivalent. But we've been wearing looks inspired by catwalk designers for decades. If we can buy a bag that's the spitting image of the pricier version, but doesn't mean you have to remortgage, why not? According to those at Boohoo, the bag's 'generous size allows you to transition seamlessly from day to night.' It also accommodates 'everything from your laptop to your evening makeup touch-up kit.' It's been hailed as great for a 'trendy street style look' and is incredibly 'versatile' too. Not only this, but Boohoo bosses claim it has a "durable construction for long-lasting use". So if you want to channel your inner Molly-Mae vibes and want to look as chic as she does when she heads to her Maebe office, this is one you definitely won't want to miss.
