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.

‘Robbery!’ scream Linkin Park fans as MASSIVE ticket prices for only UK gig are revealed

LINKIN Park fans have branded the band’s massive ticket prices ‘robbery’ ahead of their only UK gig.

With tickets set to go on general sale this Friday, early access prices for the band’s Wembley Stadium gig next June have sparked widespread frustration.

The band’s supporters have expressed outrage over the “absolutely ridiculous” costs, taking to Reddit to voice their frustration.

One fan shared a breakdown of the presale costs yesterday, leaving many shocked at the figures.

The premium “thrust” area tickets were priced at over £300, while front general standing cost £153.

Back standing tickets were slightly cheaper at £110, and seated areas were estimated to be around £89-£90.

The steep prices sparked debate on the platform, with fans sharing their disappointment.

One user commented, “Not a dig at LP in the slightest, but ticket prices are getting ridiculous.”

Another said, “Was up for this gig, but £300 for two tickets plus accommodation in and travel to London makes it a no-go now. Ah well.”

Some fans called for action, comparing the situation to The Cure frontman Robert Smith’s efforts to reduce Ticketmaster fees.

One argued, “The band could 100 percent step in and force Ticketmaster to lower the prices. Look at Robert Smith from The Cure; he essentially forced them to lower prices, and they did.”

For others, the cost was simply too high to justify.

Someone said, “£450 for three of us?! Nah, we’ll take a risk and hope they make an appearance at Download 2026 instead – better value for money if so.”

The band’s Wembley show marks a rare UK appearance for Linkin Park, whose lineup has undergone significant changes since the tragic loss of frontman Chester Bennington in 2017.

Mike Shinoda has since taken on more vocal duties, with the band occasionally enlisting guest artists to perform.

Linkin Park is known for massive hits like In the End, Numb, and Crawling.

The band has sold over 100 million records worldwide.

The Wembley show is part of a limited European tour, with stops in Germany, France, and the Netherlands before heading back to the US.

The news of the tour comes after Linkin Park annouced they were making a combeack earlier this year.

And the tour is named after their new album. From Zero, which is the first album since Chester passed away.

It will instead visit locations such as Mexico City, Tokyo, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Seattle, Buenos Aires and Rio De Janeiro.

Some of their European stops include Hanover, Berlin, Milan, Frankfurt, Paris, Arnhem and Gdynia.

Scottish fans were recently left fuming by their omission of a date in the country.

I treat myself to £50 tops but my kids will only get second-hand gifts for Christmas – it’s way more thoughtful

A mum has been forced to defend herself after admitting to only spending £75 on her children for Christmas despite wearing designer brands.

Sarah Fall, from Australia, took to social media to show off her haul of second-hand buys for her kids.

The mum-of-three revealed she gave herself a budget of £75 ($150) for Christmas presents this year – and planned to get all of them from the charity shops.

She replied to a comment that read: “Almost feels cruel spending $150 while mummy stands there in a Sabbi shirt lol.”

Sabbi is a popular brand of graphic T-shirts in Australia and cost around £50 or $100 for one – over half of her budget for her children’s Christmas gifts.

But Sarah hit back at the comment to defend herself.

She said: “I’ve gotten a few comments like this, ‘I’m in expensive clothing but I’m thrifting my kids Christmas presents.’

“I think when you put it like that, you’re essentially saying that my kids aren’t worth me spending money on or thrifting is less than buying new.”

But the mum revealed this couldn’t be further form the truth and that buying second-hand was more thoughtful.

“I actually find thrifting to be worth more because of the time and energy and effort I’m putting into each individual item I’m getting for my children,” she added.

She said it was much more meaningful trawling through the charity shops than just grabbing items of the shelf.

That being said, she then showed some of the second-hand gifts she recently picked up.

Her haul included a pair of Adidas Gazelles, a farm animal book, a doll and a new school bag.

The clip soon went viral over on her TikTok account @sarah_falls_ with over 423k views and 19k likes.

People were quick to take to the comments with many supporting the mum’s eco-friendly gifting.

One person wrote: “You would invest “time & effort” when buying new as well. How else would each present be curated esp for the ones you’re buying for? Let’s just say it for what it is & own it- you’re buying cheap.”

How to save money on Christmas shopping

Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save money on your Christmas shopping.

Limit the amount of presents – buying presents for all your family and friends can cost a bomb.

Instead, why not organise a Secret Santa between your inner circles so you’re not having to buy multiple presents.

Plan ahead – if you’ve got the stamina and budget, it’s worth buying your Christmas presents for the following year in the January sales.

Make sure you shop around for the best deals by using price comparison sites so you’re not forking out more than you should though.

Buy in Boxing Day sales – some retailers start their main Christmas sales early so you can actually snap up a bargain before December 25.

Delivery may cost you a bit more, but it can be worth it if the savings are decent.

Shop via outlet stores – you can save loads of money shopping via outlet stores like Amazon Warehouse or Office Offcuts.

They work by selling returned or slightly damaged products at a discounted rate, but usually any wear and tear is minor.

Another commented: “I really don’t understand why it matters, thrifted or not. I literally don’t remember half the stuff I got as gifts as a kid.”

“I think it’s a great idea. Kids get spoilt. You are putting so much thought plus recycling saves landfill,” penned a third.

Meanwhile a fourth said: “Kids grow out of stuff so fast or get bored of toys. Thrifting is great for kids.”

“I love this idea!” claimed a fifth.

Someone else added: “Those are awesome finds.
