If you aren't already in on one of the fashion set's best kept secrets, come a little closer: high street brand Anthropologie stocks cool LA label Melie Bianco's bags, and they look so much more expensive than their price tags. In fact, at £115, they're the perfect substitute if you're coveting Bottega Veneta's cult Jodie bag but can't justify a four-figure splurge.

Made from soft lambskin leather with a chunky lattice weave and knotted top handle, the Jodie has long been beloved by A-listers, editors and influencers alike. If you can afford it, it's certainly an investment worth making, as it'll never go out of style.

Not possible right now? Melie Bianco's similar bags are made from high-quality vegan leather and now come in fresh new colours for spring/summer. The bestselling Brigette is currently fully stocked (phew) in classic black or ivory, but don't miss the new-season 'raffia edition': choose from light green, pink/sand or our favourite black/white. It's the perfect holiday bag.

The smaller Larissa, meanwhile, comes in six colours including black, blush pink and gold – ideal for your next wedding.

But even more excitingly, the brand listened to social media clamour for a bigger style that could fit a laptop and dropped one earlier this year. The 'oversized edition' of Brigette now comes in seven colours, including on-trend butter yellow and the most delicious-looking chocolate-brown. So, consider your new work bag sorted for summer.

So now you know our secret...don't tell everyone? These bags sell out fast enough as it is!
