If there's one thing everyone needs to complete their Christmas party outfits it's a fabulous handbag, and a metallic bag is the ideal accessory to add a bit of sparkle to your ensemble. While metallics and silver are both popular choices for the festive season, they're also timeless enough to wear throughout the year.

That's why we reckon the Public Desire Silver Woven Top Handle Bag from New Look is an absolute must-have. Not only is it perfect for the party season, but it also bears a striking resemblance to the iconic Bottega Veneta Jodie Mini Knotted Intrecciato Metallic Leather Tote – just without the hefty designer price tag.

While the Bottega Veneta Jodie bag will cost you a whopping €2,600, the New Look bag is significantly more wallet-friendly. Originally priced at €33.99, it's now on sale for just €25.49 thanks to New Look's 25% off sale.

Although Bottega's Jodie bag is made from real leather which makes it more durable and long-lasting, the New Look version is crafted from a faux leather-look material which helps keep its price tag low. However, it does feature a similar woven textured design and a top handle that's finished with a knotted feature.

The New Look bag boasts an inside zip pocket that's perfect for keeping essentials like your phone or money safe, and the whole bag also fastens with a zip top, so you can be confident your belongings are secure when you're out and about, reports the Mirror.

The bag is also the ideal size for an evening out, offering enough space for essentials like your phone, wallet, keys, and makeup without being too large or cumbersome. While the metallic silver is a hit for the festive season, it's also available in a sleek matte black version for those preferring a subtler look.

Bag enthusiasts have been singing its praises, with one shopper commenting: "A stylish, small bag which is ideal for a night out, as you can put your essentials in. In spite of it not being leather, the quality is good which is enhanced by the woven design."

Another added their thoughts: "Jodie dupe. Worth the purchase. I reckon the zip needs a little improvement. Apart from that it fits all my essentials: phone, gum, purse, cards, sunnies. Goes well with outfits since I got the black. The shape looks even better with contents stuffed in."

However, not everyone was satisfied, as one customer expressed disappointment: "I was disappointed when this arrived. It was much smaller than expected. It won't go on shoulders making it impractical."

Yet, many others were thrilled with the find, with another review stating: "Amazing dupe! There is no way I was spending £2,600 on a bag.. that's madness to me. Obviously it isn't leather but I am ok with that. I just wish there was a Tan and Beige option too.... Public Desire - please can you make more in a selection of different colours, please! ".
