Last week Best Picks showcased a Marcs handbag, which normally retails for $109.95, and compared it to a $1,700 designer handbag from Chloe.
It turns out the products were so similar that Myer has since sold out of the ever-popular Marcs Barbados Natural Beige Zip Top Tote Bag.
But don’t despair, as we’ve discovered a number of similar Marcs bags are still available and reduced to clear for one day only in the department store’s Leap Day sale.

The Barbados Top Handle Tote Bag in Black is reduced to $76.97 until March 4 so long as you use your Myer One membership card to pay for it.
It’s much smaller than the cream-coloured tote we reported on but it’s elegant and arguably holds all of your usual essentials perfectly.
It also comes in an all black version, which is discounted to $69.
Best Picks previously equated the Marcs Barbados Natural Beige Zip Top Tote Bag to the $1,700 Medium Woody Tote Bag by Chloe.
“Crafted from lower-impact linen canvas detailed with shiny calfskin strips, this medium Woody tote bag is a spacious bag with a strong summer attitude. The roomy inside compartment includes a practical flat pocket,” the Chloe website describes it.
“The bag’s modern lines are emphasised by the contrasting vertical leather strips and the signature Chloe logo ribbon.
“Carry this tote bag comfortably on the shoulder.”
Now although the Marcs bag is certainly not made from sustainable linen, it does have a very similar colouring crafted from faux leather, and it’s available in a black shade too.
There is high praise on Myer’s website for the Marcs bag.
“Love this bag so much. It is perfect for any occasion and has so much room inside. Love the zipper too so you can close it up,” one woman wrote.
“I love this bag! It’s so beautiful and goes so well with my outfits. It’s a bargain. Would definitely recommend,” said another.
A third added: “Its a perfect tote which literally goes with any dress. Also its very spacious and durable. Would definitely recommend it”.
