Marks and Spencer is offering a crossbody bag that bears a striking resemblance to a designer alternative. Last year, the retailer made waves with its M&S Collection, which featured a lookalike of Celine's £2,550 classic bag.

The M&S version quickly went viral, selling out within 24 hours as shoppers rushed to get their hands on the bag. Now, M&S is offering another take on the popular style, the Mirror reports.

The high street giant has a range of styles on offer, including the Quilted Bowler Bag for £39.50, the Suede Cross Body Bag for £49.50, and the Woven Shoulder Bag for £39.50. Like M&S's previous offering, the new M&S Faux Leather Cross Body Bag is a stylish box bag with a clasp front and adjustable strap, with a sleek, rounded style similar to the designer bag.

However, it's only £35, giving shoppers a discount of more than £2,000 compared to the original price of the cult Celine bag, which is no longer available on the brand's website but remains popular via resale sellers. Available in caramel, black, and green, M&S's version is made from faux leather, while Celine's bag is calfskin.

The new bag is also different from the previous M&S lookalikes in that it has a rounder clasp. It's being hailed as "a versatile accessory, perfect for everyday use", according to the brand.

The description says: "It's designed with an adjustable strap, so you can wear it as a cross-body or shoulder bag. A drop lock fastening keeps your belongings secure. Inside, you'll find two compartments and a zip pocket to keep your essentials organised."

Fans of M&S are loving their take on the classic style, with many reviewers commending the quality. One satisfied customer said: "If you only buy one bag this season make it this one. It looks great and is great quality."

Another commented: "Well made, compact and lovely colour," while another shopper remarked: "Gorgeous colour, great size to fit phone, lipstick, glasses etc in." However, one review pointed out: "This is a great bag in many ways. I love the colour and it seems quite roomy. There are many separate compartments. However, I'm finding it a squeeze to take a very slim wallet. Compact lipstick, tooth comb and phone. Add a couple of tissues and that's your lot!"

Elsewhere on the high street, New Look offers a leather-look cross-body bag in black, tan, and mink for £24.99. Meanwhile, Charles and Keith's Charlot Bag, priced at £69, offers a striking yet elegant design.
