RIVER ISLAND SHOPPERS ARE SNAPPING UP A £38 RIVER ISLAND CROSSBODY BAG SIMILAR TO £350 MARC JACOBS

Crossbody bags mean you can go hands-free while still carrying around all your everyday essentials and if you pick the right design, they can be a really stylish addition to your outfit. River Island fans have been flocking to the brand's website to pick up the Weave Bucket Crossbody Bag ahead of summer as it looks incredibly similar to The Leather Mini Bucket Bag from Marc Jacobs - only over £300 cheaper.

The bucket crossbody bag is rather spacious so it could be the ideal companion for all kinds of occasions. We can see it being worn to a festival and at the weekend, but equally taken to work or on holiday. It looks a lot more expensive than its £38 price tag and it has a detachable strap should you wish to switch the style up.

Shoppers have six designs to choose from, including a vibrant orange, navy and tan. There's even a monochrome raffia version which is bang on trend, as well a metallic gold option that is seriously unique.
