Primark's 'chic' £14 bag looks 'so similar' to £2,700 Loewe style
Primark is selling a "pretty" £14 bag that resembles a designer style. The retailer is a firm favourite with high street shoppers looking for affordable fashion and accessories, and the Ruched Chain Strap Pouch Bag could be a new crowd-pleaser.
The £14 Primark pouch bag is available in ecru or burgundy, and the red style looks similar to a pricier alternative by designer brand Loewe. However, Loewe's Medium Flamenco purse in mellow nappa lambskin is priced much higher at £2,700.
The designer style is available in more than ten colours, including a sea salt shade comparable to Primark's ecru bag, though the burnt red arguably looks the most similar to Primark's offering. The bags are very similar in design, with a deep red tone, rouched shape, knot detailing, and gold chain.
However, the Loewe chain is red and gold, whereas the Primark chain is only one colour. The Loewe bag has a detachable leather strap, and it is made from nappa lambskin with suede lining.
Conversely, Primark's bag is finished with a leather-look effect, but it is made from 50 per cent polyester and 50 per cent polyurethane. Primark's product description explains: "Summer style? It's in the bag! Upgrade your new season accessories edit with this pretty pouch bag.
"Made from a soft faux leather, this bag has a luxe look and feel that's perfect for evenings spent out on the town. The pouch style is super chic, meanwhile the gold-toned chain strap handle adds to its polished look and feel. A must-have piece you'll reach for on repeat, it's here to carry you through this season and beyond!"
Loewe's product description says: "The Flamenco purse is a lightweight and soft bag with a ruched shape, historical knot drawstrings and a donut chain. This medium version is crafted in mellow nappa lambskin."
The designer brand also offers a Mini Flamenco purse in mellow nappa lambskin for £2,200 and a Large Flamenco purse in mellow nappa lambskin for £3,200.
While the listing for the Primark bag does not include dimensions, it is at least £2,000 cheaper than each designer bag. You can check availability at your nearest store here.
Alternatively, shoppers looking for a similar style from another retailer might prefer Dune London's Leather Drawstring Bag, on offer from £159 to £79. While it looks similar to both the Primark and Loewe bags, it differs in that it is made from leather but has a recycled synthetic lining, and there are other design differences.
Dune London's product description says: "Slouchy styles are always sought after, so snap up Primrose L today and treat yourself to a shoulder bag with effortless charm. Boasting a magnetic closure, elegant gold-tone chain details and multiple straps, it's a versatile addition to your accessories edit."

Primark's 90p summer holiday essential will help you pass every hand luggage liquid check without even buying miniatures
PACKING for a holiday is not an easy task, especially for us women. Many of us want to save money by only using carry-on luggage, but it can cause a crisis for many of us. 3 3 Not only do we have to squeeze in multiple outfits, there's also the issue of trying to fit all of your toiletries in. And if you are just using carry-on luggage the task will be even harder thanks to the liquid limit being just 1 litre. Each product has to be 100ml or less and to make matters worse, it has to fit in one of those tiny plastic bags the airport provides, and limit it to one bag per passenger. That leaves many of us having to choose which of our daily essentials make the cut, from leaving your favourite shampoo at home to ditching your foundation for the week. Too many times we have been caught out by the liquid limitations and had to throw away a face cream or shower gel before making it through security. Fortunately, Primark has offered a solution to ensure all of your toiletries fit. The budget-friendly retailer is offering a pack of four silicone travel jars for just £4.50. Each jar costs just 90p and means you won't have to leave your favourite beauty buys behind or fork out for miniature editions. The jars come in four different sizes, meaning you can use the smaller one for foundation and the bigger one for body cream. The silicone material also makes them bendable so they can be squeezed into the plastic bag with no problems. Primark launches new range of cabin bags on wheels - they're approved by all budget airlines & there's matching carry-ons too It also means that these jars can easily be washed and cleaned out in preparation for your next holiday. PRIMANIA It's not the only holiday buy Primark shoppers are going wild for. The bargain retail giant has super-sized the floral trend with its oversized hibiscus print co-ord. The cropped mesh top is priced at just £8 while the matching midi skirt will only set you back £12. And fashion fans have insisted the cowl neck cut and loud print are a throwback to the 90s, while the lightweight material is perfect for the sunshine. Both pieces are available in sizes XXS to XL and come in black or pink with a red floral pattern. And fashionistas have already been going wild for it, as one gushed: "Lovely for a night out." "I need one for hols", wrote a second. Holiday packing tips Jemma Solomon, aka The Label Lady has got 5 packing tips to help you get organised for your next holiday. 1. Write a list Think about all the essentials you need to take with you; suncream, medicine, a few games for the kids, beach towels, and write everything in one list, which you can tick off as you add it to your suitcase. Or for complete ease, try Google's AI app - Gemini - which will create a list for you and help you not over pack. 2. Involve your kids Jemma said: 'My girls are getting older, they're 11 and nine, and they enjoy helping to pack. So I send them a list, and say 'this is what you need' and they follow the list. 'And then I give them a rucksack each - and say to them 'you can have whatever you want in there as long as it's not liquid', and they can take that on the plane. And that's their 'home away from home' items.' 3. Try a hack or two She said: "I think they all work, but for different reasons - and you've just got to pick the right one for your trip. "Rolling your clothes is really good to stop your clothes from getting creases. And if you're trying to get a lot of items into your case, it's a space saver. 'Packing cubes are great - for example, I'm going on holiday with my three kids and we're all using the same suitcase for our clothes. "These handy compartments let you separate your clothes, toiletries and tech into designated cubes, maximising luggage space by keeping your items compressed and neatly stacked. "I love taking them abroad with the family and it means my kids can easily take charge of their own items once we've arrived." 4. Decant beauty products Do you really need to take full-size bottles of shampoo and conditioner with you? The beauty industry has evolved so much, you can now buy shampoo bars or sheets - which are much lighter and smaller. Or, if you'll be popping to the shops when you're abroad, consider buying some items when you arrive. 5. Get organised before you come home Jemma said: 'When you repack on holiday [before coming home], the trick is to separate clean from dirty clothes. 'Also pack it in some form of order - so lights, darks, colours for items that need washing, or if you wash your clothes by person in the household, piles for each person. "Then you can put it straight into the washing machine. Do it straight away, don't leave it."

Hundreds 'run' to Primark for 'gorgeous' £6 kitchen set that looks designer
Shoppers who 'love' Primark's take on the trend say they 'need' the new kitchenware Primark has wowed shoppers with a 'gorgeous' kitchenware set that resembles a pricier version. Popular for its affordable homeware and fashion, the retailer has impressed customers with its new mug and saucer set. Primark Home's £6 set has gone viral on social media, with fans suggesting it looks more expensive than the price tag. It arguably resembles Nordic Essentials' £39 ceramic mug cup with wood saucer. Both mug and saucer sets incorporate warm, neutral tones into their abstract designs. While they have differences, they're very similar in style. Primark's mug is not currently available online, so there is no product description available, but the product description for the Nordic Essentials mug suggests this style is ideal for cosy mornings. It states: "Bring a sense of calm to your morning routine with this beautifully balanced porcelain mug and acacia wood saucer. "The unglazed texture and warm natural tones create a soft, grounding atmosphere - perfect for cosy living and mindful moments. Designed for modern home styling, it's a quiet yet stylish addition to any shelf or kitchen. A thoughtful choice for those who appreciate Scandinavian simplicity and slow, intentional rituals." Primark's version went viral on social media when it was showcased in a video by TikTok user @imhollyfrances. In her post, Holly said: "Run don't walk to Primark girlies..." and her caption added: "Okay miss primark… the cutest mug & saucer combo for £6." The video received over 200,000 views and more than 14,000 likes. One impressed viewer said: "This mug is everything." A second wrote: "I love this." A third fan replied: "This one is so cute." A fourth thought: "That's gorgeous." A fifth social media user commented: "I need this," and someone added: "Oh wow." Another viewer joked: "Every day I come on this damn app and see something else i should spend money on," and a commenter replied: "You are not alone." Less convinced, someone wrote: "Can't decide if I love or hate the thickness." However, there was more praise for the design when TikTok user @meganellaaaa shared another video showcasing Primark's mug and saucer set. Megan told viewers: "Girls run to primark for this gorgeous cup and saucer £6." A fan replied: "Running now walking." Someone else commented: "This gives expensive," and Megan agreed, writing: "So good for Primark." While Primark fans can't shop the mug online, Primark's website does offer a selection of mugs and other kitchenware items. For those looking for a colourful mug, a few options include the £3 Reactive Glaze Ombré Mug, £3 Ombré Glazed Mug, and £3 Ombré Drip Glaze Mug. Alternatively, there are several themed mugs with designs inspired by fruit, animals, and characters. For example, there's the £4.50 Lemon Shaped Mug, 3.50 Ceramic Bear Shaped Mug, £4.50 Pumpkin Shaped Mug with Lid, £3.50 Harvest Pumpkin Mug, £6 XL Mushroom Shaped Mug, and £3.50 Cowboy Frog Mug.
