River Island's new £56 weekend bag looks just like Louis Vuitton's £3.5k holdall

Summer is the season of getaways, where it’s a sunny holiday abroad or a weekend staycation, which means the need for some great luggage has never been higher. That’s why River Island’s latest collaboration has come at the perfect time, as it launches its Morgan X River Island collection, featuring a myriad of bags just in time for your next trip.

One of the standout pieces in the new collab is the Brown Morgan Lips Monogram Print Holdall Bag, which you can pick up for £56. As well as being a great bag in its own right, it also has a striking resemblance to Louis Vuitton’s iconic cherry print LV x TM Keepall Bandoulière 45 Bag, which costs a much pricier £3550.

Similar to the designer holdall, the Morgan Lips Monogram Print Holdall Bag comes in a dark chocolate brown colour, with a subtle repeat River Island monogram all over it in a light tan colour. It also features tan details like grab top handles, trim around the edges and buckled straps across the middle.

Its stand-out signature design, though, is the lips print done by British artist Morgan Seaford, which appears all across the bag in various shades of red and pink in a hand-painted effect. You can also pick up a floral printed version, which features pink and white flowers and butterflies printed across it.

The Morgan Lips Monogram Print Holdall Bag fastens with a zip top to keep everything secure, and even comes with a detachable cross body strap, making it easier to carry – especially when it’s full to the brim. It also measures 27cm high, 43cm wide and 26cm deep, giving you plenty of space to pack everything you need for a weekend away.

We also spotted some similar styles at Debenhams, with the Ikrush Indigo Checked Print Overnight Bag now on sale down from £50.99 to £33.99 and featuring a two-tone brown checkerboard print very similar to another of Louis Vuitton’s designs. If you want something that’s a true designer buy without breaking the bank, this Retro Duffel Bag from Tommy Hilfiger is also on sale for £65 down from £78.

However if you want to check out the rest of the Morgan X River Island collection, you can pick up everything from cross body and shoulder bags to shopper totes and purses. Each style comes in a variety of different unique painterly designs, so you can add some fun and playfulness to your handbag collection.
