When it comes to clutch bags that are both iconic and instantly recognisable, Bottega Veneta’s pouch-style designs top the list. Known for their signature woven texture and soft, slouchy silhouette, they make a statement the moment you spot them. The Cloud Pouch Small Intrecciato Leather Clutch Bag, in particular, is a standout for summer with its light beige hue.
Of course, not everyone can justify the £1,970 price tag. That’s where Mango’s Natural Fibre Handbag comes in — offering a similar aesthetic at a much more wallet-friendly £49.99.

Available in natural beige and burnt orange, Mango’s version is crafted from 100% raffia, giving it a breezy, summer-ready feel. While Bottega’s is made entirely of leather, Mango’s take mimics the luxe look with a detailed woven finish that feels sturdy and elevated.

The design features the same relaxed, slouchy pouch shape with a wide base and gathered detailing at the top. It secures with a structured trim and metal press-stud closure. Plus, it offers versatility — wear it as a classic clutch tucked under your arm or use the detachable chain strap for an easy, hands-free option, reports the Mirror.
With its classic and elegant design, this bag is versatile enough to accompany you from beach trips to dinner dates or even weddings. Of course, Mango isn’t the only brand serving up this style for summer, as we’ve spotted several other versions on the high street.

Over at Fenwick, the Pieces Lana Clutch is even more budget-friendly at £35 and is similarly crafted from 100% raffia paper straw in a woven pouch style. If you’re after something that blends the Bottega and Mango aesthetics more closely, the Loverly Grey x Anthropologie The Frankie Clutch: Faux Leather Edition is a fantastic option.
A tad pricier at £80, the bag’s weave mirrors Bottega’s much more closely, although it’s made from faux leather rather than genuine leather. When fastened, it sports a gathered look at the top, and is available in both butter yellow – one of this season’s trending colours – or soft pink.
However, we’re particularly smitten with the more summery, natural vibe of Mango’s Natural Fibre Handbag. Measuring 12.6 inches long, 7.87 inches high and 12 inches wide, it’s surprisingly spacious yet just the right size to tote your essentials around while still being comfortable to carry.
