Where to buy Molly-Mae’s £3,670 Bottega Veneta dupe for just £135
MOLLY-MAE HAGUE took part in Vogue’s hugely popular In The Bag series last week and left fans clambering to find out how they could get their hands on her designer arm piece.
At an eye-watering £3,670, it’s no surprise that her Bottega Veneta Large Hop leather tote is a celebrity staple with stars including Rosie Huntington Whiteley, Megan McKenna and Sofia Richie all fans of the brand.

Molly-Mae gave fans an insight into the contents of her arm candy from paracetamol and water wipes for her daughter Bambi to a Chanel cardholder and Tatcha Kissu, The Kissu Lip Mask.
However, it is the bag that captured fans attention, and it isn’t the first time the Bottega Veneta tote has caused a storm online.
But with a luxury price tag, shoppers have been searching for dupes of the bag.
Thankfully we’ve done the work for you, finding the Anthropologie Brigitte Woven Faux-Leather Satchel Bag to be a great imitation.
Available in six different colours, including the chocolate shade similar to Hague’s, as well as black, taupe, olive, green and wine, the satchel dupe is the larger version of the £88 Melie Bianco Larissa Woven Faux-Leather Shoulder Bag, another fan favourite which sold out in summer.

The £135 price tag already presents a major benefit at nearly 96% less than its Bottega Veneta counterpart.
As the two bags are visibly almost identical, it is arguably one of the best dupes on the market – but is the quality the same? And what are the main differences?
There are some key differences mostly with the material, size and fastening.
Anthropologie’s Brigitte Woven Faux-Leather Satchel Bag is made of vegan leather whereas the Bottega Veneta is made from calf leather.
The Bottega Veneta has a magnetic fastening whereas the Anthropologie dupe presents a zipper styling as well as a knotted handle.
There is also an ever so slight size difference with Anthropologie’s bag measuring at 50cm x 30cm and the Bottega Veneta large leather tote coming in at 54cm x 24cm.
However, with over 400 reviews, averaging at 4.4 stars, shoppers are falling in love with the Anthropoligie satchel.
It’s big enough to carry all the essentials, can sleekly transform from a day to night bag and would look just as good at the bar as at the office.
One shopper wrote “The best bag! Love dressing this bag up or down for day and night. Need to get more in more colours!”

Another added “Absolutely beautiful colour and the size is perfect for everything!”
The reviews range from ages 25-29 to 50-55 making the bag even more versatile and suitable for all ages and occasions.
The bag is also currently on sale for £85 in light yellow and dark green and there are other variations of the bag such as the Melie Bianco Brigitte Large Faux Leather Shoulder Bag and Melie Bianco Woven Shoulder Bag.
