Any good fashion fan knows that a great bag will help complete your outfit, but no matter how much we have our eye on a top-tier designer piece, more often than that our budget says no. However, the high street has been teaming lately with amazing affordable alternatives to some of our favourite designer bags, particularly the Melie Bianco Larissa Woven Faux-Leather Shoulder Bag, , which you can pick up at Anthropologie.
The knot-handled woven bag is a dead ringer for Bottega Veneta’s Jodie Mini Bag, , which rapidly became one of the most sought-after luxury bags for fashion lovers after its launch in 2020. However, if splurging on the real deal isn’t quite in your budget, Melie Bianco’s version is the next best thing – and it just launched in two new summer-ready colours.
You can shop the Melie Bianco Larissa Woven Faux-Leather Shoulder Bag at Anthropologie (Anthropologie)Just like its luxury counterpart, Melie Bianco’s Larissa bag has a woven texture, although it’s made of faux leather rather than 100% real lambskin. Although real leather tends to be harder wearing, the faux leather has the added bonus of being animal-friendly, not to mention being wipe clean which is handy if you’re planning on making this your go-to bag for the summer.
It also comes in a similar rounded baguette style with the iconic knotted handle on top, which adds to its luxury-inpsired style. The bag fastens with a zip closing at the top which keeps your belongings safe, and measures 23cm high, 20cm long and 6cm wide, which makes it handy for everything from nights out to running errands.
The woven bag is a great alternative to Bottega's luxury version (Anthropologie)The Melie Bianco bag is now available in six different colours, including two brand new pastel colours that are perfect for summer, with our absolute favourite being the new rose hue. The pale candy pink colour is universally flattering and can be combined with any other colours, making it easy to style.

If you’ve got your eye on some other colours, Jayley also offers a similar style and sized bag which comes in several other shades, including a forest green shade similar to the iconic Bottega green shade. The Teal Jodie Small Woven Shoulder Bag with Knot Detail, , comes in classic shades like black, grey and nude, but you can also select a brighter tone like peach, green and orange, with seven different ones to pick from.
The bag is the perfect size for nights out and events (Anthropologie)Shoppers have also been singing the Anthropologie bag’s praises, with one reviewer writing: “I am in love with this bag, I always get compliments on it. I am desperate for it to come in in white!”
Another said: “This bag is perfect for day wear or going out. I got the black colour-way and it goes with everything. It is compact yet fits so much! I will definitely be repurchasing in another colour it oozes elegance and style! It is very well made for the price too.”
Whilst a third wrote: “I purchased this bag online after seeing it in store as I couldn’t stop thinking about it! So glad I purchased as it’s such a cute statement piece that really adds to any outfit. I have the larger bag also which I use as a day bag as it fits so much into it. This bag is definitely on the small side”
