YouTuber Kirsty Griffiths is a whizz at finding bargains in everyday stores that look just like designer brands.
Including a dupe for the M&S straw tote bag which has been all the rage for the last few summers.
It’s sold out for several years in a row and retails at £45.
But Kirsty has spotted a great dupe for it in Home Bargains for just £12 – and there are plenty on shelves.
She also found a dupe for the Hermès Chypre sandals which are perfect for holidays and warmer weather.
