Luxury handbag enthusiasts are likely familiar with the Hermes Kelly, a staple of style since its 1935 debut. Known for both their hefty price tags and exclusivity, Hermes releases only a limited number each year to a select clientele, and I’ve stumbled upon a strikingly similar alternative that won’t break the bank.

The London Mini Bag by Totes Luxe UK priced at £148 echoes the Hermes Kelly’s iconic trapezoid shape and individual top handle, although it isn’t an exact match. Offered in 12 hues and fashioned from sumptuous full-grain leather, this bag features a twist-lock closure akin to the Hermes original and includes a strap for crossbody wear.

At £148, it’s quite the investment compared to the luxury priced designer model, but significantly more accessible for most pockets. With an array of five-star reviews, the bag has already charmed many buyers. One happy shopper said: “The most gorgeous design and colour. Often mistaken for a famous French brand. I now want one in every colour.”

Another shopper said: “I get endless compliments and gasps as people think they are by a famous French brand. I love good quality stylish bags and these absolutely fulfil that. The leather is gorgeous, sturdy, and robust. These bags will last years and years! My mum has asked for a bag now so I shall be ordering again.”, reports the Manchester Evening News.

A third glowing review read: “I bought this bag last year, and it has been a fantastic addition to my collection. The quality has held up incredibly well over time, with no signs of wear and tear. It’s stylish and versatile, making it perfect for both casual and formal occasions.”

However, not all feedback was glowing as one shopper wasn’t impressed with the texture of the London Mini Bag, stating in their two-star review: “Much stiffer than expected and I’ve been airing it for a couple of weeks now to try and get rid of the factory smell but no joy. Certainly doesn’t look or feel like my other leather bags – disappointing.”

But another customer was overjoyed with their purchase, saying: “Exceeded my expectations. The bag is of really good quality and the perfect size. I absolutely love it.”
