Remember when the most famous Bottega Veneta bag was the knot clutch? It was on every red carpet for years and years and the woven leather became their signature. Since Daniel Lee took over as creative director there were major changes. He has a real talent for creating beautiful ready-to-wear that’s cool and fashionable but also comfortable and practical.

Taking the woven theme he’s produced an army of the most covetable bags, from the soft slouchy clutch to the durable crossbody ‘Casette’. These are trend pieces that you can work into your lifestyle, that work with everything but that are effortlessly cool.

Despite their practicality they come with a very incredible price tag, the cheapest on my list being £1,660. You wouldn’t want your drink to leak in that. So unless you’re looking to splurge I thought I would find the best Bottega bag dupes that are just as dreamy but affordable.
