Mango's raffia clutch bag has a Bottega-style look on a budget for under £50

If there’s one clutch bag that’s instantly recognisable and totally iconic, it’s Bottega Veneta’s pouch-style bags. With their woven design and pillowy, slouchy shape, they’re immediately noticeable on someone’s arm, and the would be the perfect pick for summer thanks to its light beige shade.

However, we know not everyone can afford to splurge on its £1970 price tag. That’s why we’re all over this from Mango, which has a similar look but a considerably more affordable £49.99 price.

The is available in two colours, natural beige and burnt orange, and is made from 100% natural fibre raffia, making it perfect for the warmer weather. Although Bottega’s is made from 100% leather, the Mango clutch mirrors its look with its intricately woven design which makes it sturdy and expensive looking.

It has a , with a wide base and gathered details around the top. It fastens with a solid trim around the opening, and a metal press stud fastening to keep it securely closed. You also have the choice of whether you’d prefer to carry it under your arm as a traditional clutch, or add the detachable chain shoulder strap for hands-free carrying.

Thanks to its timeless and sophisticated design you could take this bag everywhere from the beach to dinner dates or even weddings. Of course Mango isn’t the only one offering this look for summer, and we’ve spotted several other versions on the high street.

At Fenwick the is even more affordably priced at £35 and is similarly made with 100% raffia paper straw and has a woven pouch style. If you want something that marries the Bottega and Mango looks more closely, the is a great choice.

Slightly pricier at £80, the bag’s weave matches Bottega’s much more closely, although it’s made from faux leather rather than real leather. When fastened it has a gathered appearance at the top, and comes in both butter yellow – this season’s trending colours – or pale pink.

However we’re loving the more summery, natural look of Mango’s . It measures 12.6 inches long, 7.87 inches high and 12 inches wide, making it deceptively roomy and just the right size to take your essentials out and about with you whilst still being small enough to carry comfortably.
