High street fashion store River Island is selling a pair of heeled slingback shoes in beige - and they look exactly like heels from luxury brand Chanel that sell for a whopping £870.

The £33 designer dupes are part of the retailer's latest summer range and will save shoppers a hefty £837 off the designer version's price.

River Island's Beige Heeled Slingback Shoes previously sent shoppers into a frenzy in May, causing them to sell out. They come in an incredibly similar style and colourway to the Chanel heels, with beige faux leather uppers, a black toe cap detail and a low block heel.

We predict they'll get snapped up fast by fashion fans looking to get the luxury look without the generous price tag.

Forking out over £800 for a pair of shoes isn't possible for many, so, we were pleased to find the perfect affordable dupe of Chanel's slingback heels at River Island.

While the £33 River Island iteration doesn't feature the iconic Chanel logo, the two shoes are strikingly similar, meaning you can make your outfits look more high-end, without spending a fortune. The cheaper pair also comes in two different colours - including beige and white - and features faux pearl embellishment.

The Chanel Slingback shoes will cost you a pretty penny

This isn't the first time River Island has sent shoppers wild over expensive-looking dupes.

With their square open-toe design, woven fabric details and chain link embellishment, there's no doubt River Island's Beige Woven Mules looked extremely similar to Bottega Veneta's versions.

Another designer dupe we're loving is Marks and Spencer's Faux Leather Cross Body Bag, £33 here, which looks strikingly similar to the £3,100 Celine Box Bag. Perfect for your everyday collection, it will work with nearly any outfit - and, much like the Celine version, features chic gold-tone hardware. We love it!
