Shoppers say they love a 'gorgeous' £24 top that looks like it could be from Damson Madder. Sainsbury's Tu shoppers heaped praise on the retailer's Denim Gingham Bow Tie Blouse when it was highlighted on TikTok.
The trending blouse is available in sizes eight to 26. There's also a £26 Denim Gingham Collared Mini Dress for fans looking for a similar style. For those with their heart set on the blouse, the denim top is available to shop online or in-store.
The style boasts a striking gingham print, which could be styled with summer or autumn looks. There's also an attention-grabbing bow, inspired by one of 2025's most popular trends.
The product description states: "A modern take on the classic blouse, this piece comes in blue denim with a gingham print throughout - featuring a tie neck collar, button fastening, and long sleeves. It's a staple choice for weekend outings, great styled with neutral camel tones." Sainsbury's adds that the style is 100% cotton and it is machine washable.
The style went viral in a post shared by TikTok user @thesoloshopper, which gained over 25,000 views and thousands of likes. The caption said: "Damson Madder [alternative] at TU Sainsburys? TU new in is giving autumn vibes and I am here for it!"

Fashion fans shared the sentiment. One commenter said: "I looked at that yesterday. Lovely quality too," and @ thesoloshopper agreed: " It really is! They've done well with this one."
Another wrote: "Oh wow." Someone else shared: "OMG I LOVE HERRRR." More praise read: "This is stunning," while a keen shopper added: "No stop it!! I simply need it."
Replying to a different comment, @ thesoloshopper wrote: "Gorgeous isn't she." Yet another positive comment said: "RUNNING TO SAINOS," and a Sainsbury's fan added: "TU clothing always has good stuff!" @ thesoloshopper agreed, saying: "Always!! So much better than a lot of high street shops now."
Although the shopper didn't reference a particular Damson Madder style, the Sainsbury's blouse arguably looks similar to something shoppers could find from the sustainable fashion brand. The brand's designs often go viral, featuring details such as colourful prints, oversized collars, and bows, reports the Mirror.

For shoppers who aren't familiar with the brand, Damson Madder says quality is central to its design ethos. The website states: "Every Damson Madder piece is crafted to endure, to be worn, loved, and reworn. Our hope is that through considered design and intentional production, our garments become long-standing fixtures in your wardrobe — never destined for landfill, but made to last."

The beloved brand does offer sales, but the prices are usually higher than those offered by supermarket retailers such as Sainsbury's. For example, Damson Madder's Mari vest top- red gingham costs £42.50 on sale, marked down from £85.
Of course, shoppers will have their own preferences. However, for those seeking a denim blouse under £30, the Sainsbury's style might be just the thing. Alternatively, fashion fans could prefer the Denim Gingham Collared Mini Dress. The product description says: "This denim dress is an easy-to-wear piece which adds classic styling to your wardrobe. Designed in a gingham print, it comes in a mini length. Adorned with a collar detail and tie-fastening, finished with buttons at the front."

I tested French whites costing less than £8… crisp, smokey winner is great wine that makes you think you're on holiday
Our round-up also includes an option that is sure to be the ultimate crowd pleaser FILL IN THE BLANCS I tested French whites costing less than £8… crisp, smokey winner is great wine that makes you think you're on holiday Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WHEN it comes to sunshine sipping, a chilled glass of rosé is often a refreshing winner. But some French wine buffs reckon it has peaked – and are stepping away from the pink stuff. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 10 Drinks expert Helena Nicklin rates eight white wines Credit: Oliver Dixon 10 Vineyards are focusing on producing more affordable white wines Credit: Getty Instead, vineyards are focusing on producing more affordable whites, as their popularity is on the up. But which is best? Drinks expert Helena Nicklin suggests some tres bon vins blancs, all for less than £8 a bottle. Visit the idilic wine making centre of the Cotswolds Montpierre Chardonnay White 12% ABV, £4.50, Sainsbury's 10 This Montpierre Chardonnay White from Sainsbury's has a hint of vanilla in true Chardonnay style Credit: Supplied SOUTHERN France can churn out some cheap-as-you-like Chardonnay. But unfortunately, some are awful – proving not all wines from the continent are top class. This little bargain buy, however, is surprisingly good and great value at less than a fiver. It's got flavour and tastes of the grape. There's a bit of vanilla in true Chardonnay style. A good cooking wine that will be great slugged into sauces and over chicken. When chilled, it's not a bad cheeky glass on the side. That said, not as fresh as a more expensive wine, so one for when you need to keep the price in mind. RATING: 2/5 Pierre Jaurant Chardonnay 12% ABV, £4.85, (£5.85 in Scotland), Aldi in store 10 Aldi's Pierre Jaurant Chardonnay is a golden, peachy little number Credit: Supplied THIS bottle offers a step up in the French Chardonnay department, but impressively not too much of a hike in price. A golden, peachy little number with a name on the label that couldn't sound more French. It is round and fruity, with a smidgen of sweet spice from some oak staves – but crucially, not in a sickly way. There's a touch of subtle rubber about it, but also a lot of flavour thanks to the fact it's a blend of several vintages. A great glugger for less than a fiver that's very food-friendly, too. You could sip this with all sorts – from a French baguette to a British bag of crisps. Just make sure it's cold. RATING: 3/5 Le Manoir du Baron Viognier 12.5% ABV, £5.14, Asda 10 This bottle of Le Manoir du Baron Viognier from Asda really hits the spot Credit: Supplied FOR the very low price, I will be the first to admit I was expecting to sip an unfresh, synthetic-tasting white that tastes of hangover. After all, we've all been there. But proving that lower-priced plonk really can hit the spot as much as a spendy bottle, when I sipped it I was pleasantly surprised. Fans of the classic white style Viognier, from the Rhone Valley, will love the peach and apricot flavours, and the pretty floral note the grape is famous for. It's round and a bit creamy, just as Viognier should be. Perfect alone or paired with roast chicken, it's the ultimate crowd pleaser and a super saver. Ooh la la! RATING: 5/5 Pierre Jaurant French Cotes de Gascogne 12% ABV, £5.29, Aldi 10 Aldi's Pierre Jaurant French Cotes de Gascogne is great value Credit: Supplied THE Cotes de Gascogne in southwestern France is a hub for some brilliant white wine bargains like this. But they are often made with grapes you may not know, such as this Gros Manseng. They're worth seeking out as they offer a lovely fleshy fruitiness that is a bit tropical, but not too sweet. Importantly, they are very good value. This style is often in your glass as the 'good' house white in pubs. Aldi's is a super price, even if it could have a bit more oomph on drinking. But this is such good value that it's worth filling up your trolley and giving it a try. RATING: 3/5 Le Froglet Sauvignon Blanc 11.5% ABV, £6.50, M&S 10 This bottle of Le Froglet Sauvignon Blanc from M&S has a subtle leafiness and squeeze of lemon Credit: Supplied PICNIC or train vino drinkers may recognise the Froglet name from when M&S sold it in single-serve plastic wine glasses. But it looks really cute in this whole bottle form, too. There aren't many wines under £7 in M&S, but this French sip has become one of its more affordable, signature tipples. And on top of being one of the lowest prices you can pay from the store for full-sized wines, it's also not bad drinking. Think very simple and very light Sauvignon Blanc with a subtle leafiness and squeeze of lemon. There's not loads going on, but it's still crisp and clean and certainly French – perfect at the price. RATING: 4/5 Extra Special Cotes de Gascogne 11.5% ABV, £6.57, Asda 10 Lidl's Picpoul de Pinet is a style of wine that's super-refreshing and pure Credit: Supplied ASDA'S Extra Special wine range is going great guns at the moment, and this Gascony blend of Colombard, Sauvignon Blanc and Gros Manseng grapes is gorgeous. With its ripe greengage and yellow plum notes, coupled with a crisp acidity and subtle smokiness, this vino showcases exactly what this region can do for not a lot of cash. There's tons of flavour, but it's not overpowering at all and has a thirst-slaking slick of saline. A fantastic wine that's excellent value. The stylish bottle looks far pricier. Drink it with French nibbles and pretend you are on holiday, or impress guests with your French wine find. RATING: 5/5 La P'tite Pierre Blanc 10.5% ABV, £7.25, Tesco, Co-op 10 La P'tite Pierre Blanc is a bit dialled down on the flavours Credit: Supplied ANOTHER southwestern French blend, this cute-sounding affordable tipple is a good all-rounder featuring a blend of grapes including Gros Manseng and Trebbiano. Its booze level has been lowered to 10.5 per cent, but in a way that feels natural with this bottle's contents – and many drinkers nowadays are actively looking for a lower ABV. This sip is just a bit dialled down on the flavours compared to some of the others. It makes a good session wine, though, and is perfect for parties and barbecues. A decent summer wine that's widely available – and at a very friendly price. RATING: 3/5 Picpoul de Pinet 12.5% ABV, £7.69, Lidl 10 Asda's Extra Special Cotes de Gascogne would be amazing with oysters Credit: Supplied FRANCE is not Lidl's strong suit when it comes to value vino. But this pretty little Picpoul is a decent drop given how expensive this type of grape can be. Hailing from its spiritual home of Pinet in the Languedoc, think green apple, sea salt and citrus in your glass. Picpoul is a style of wine that's super-refreshing and pure. I'd say sipping it is like dunking your head in the sea. Serve a bottle of this very chilled and it's going to be hard to beat with white fish and seafood. If you are feeling fancy, it would be amazing with oysters, but will slip down very nicely with your fish fingers, too. RATING: 3/5

Love Is Blind star SLAMMED by fans as it's revealed controversial star had baby on the way during filming
The Love Is Blind star has blamed the edit for how he's been portrayed on the show POD SCANDAL Love Is Blind star SLAMMED by fans as it's revealed controversial star had baby on the way during filming Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A LOVE Is Blind star has been slammed by fans, after it was revealed that the controversial star had a baby on the way during filming. As the Netflix pods opened for 30 new singletons to try their luck at finding someone to marry, one star has got tongues wagging more than most. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 New Love Is Blind UK star Patrick has found himself at the centre of some surprising social media speculation 4 Aanu has been chatting to Patrick in the pods Credit: Netflix Patrick Justus, a human design coach, caught fan attention after telling people that he uses his spleen to guide him, when it comes to finding a romantic connection. But now, fans have slammed the reality star on social media, after a TikToker claimed he had a baby on the way while on the show. A creator named Story Time With Rikkii said in the video: 'Patrick had a baby on the way and didn't tell no body about it.' She then shared a photo of Patrick and the baby mum together while covering the woman's face. The TikTok went on: 'She was pregnant with his child when he went on Love Is Blind UK.' The woman who was pregnant with Patrick's child has allegedly spoken out about it too, according to the TikToker, writing: 'When he first tried to blackmail me, then goes on a dating show and then leaves you alone to go to Bali for 2 months spending his money there and then still calls you negative and a bad mom for losing it.' The video went on to claim that Patrick's baby mum wrote: 'Isn't it crazy how one parent gets to carry on with their life, jobs, hobbies, and social life, and the other parent has to ask for a break to take a shower.' Story Time With Rikkii continued to share a photo of the baby, as well as the woman pregnant and said: 'The math is mathing, and that means that he was in them pods with the baby on the way.' Annoyed fans have claimed that he "wasted Aanu's time" as a result. The Sun has contacted Netflix for comment. Love Is Blind UK star leaves viewers 'feeling physically sick' as he details his VERY unique job The star has also been slammed by fans after blaming the edit for his portrayal on the Netflix show. Patrick has taken to his own TikTok to speak about his split from Aanu in the pods. On the show, as he ends things, he says to Aanu that if he was in the room with her he would put his arm around her. But on his TikTok, Patrick has denied ever saying this to Aanu, claiming that he actually said it to someone else. 4 Patrick is accused of having a baby on the way when he filmed the show Credit: Instagram He wrote: 'They cut away from my face to edit in this dumb comment. 'I never said 'if I was there I'd definitely put my arm around you.' 'They took this from another date with a different person and why would I put my arm around someone I did not propose to. 'It even sounds so weird and out of place.' Fans have been left outraged, as one person wrote: 'This is such red flag behaviour. You can't just blame the edit.' A second penned: 'I smell bulls***,' and a third added: 'This is reality TV Patrick, surely you knew what you were getting yourself into.' Speaking in the pods to potential match Yolanda, Patrick said that he follows his spleen "literally to the second", later adding: "Listening to my spleen is the best way to find the love of his life.' While it didn't win over Yolanda or another hopeful, Catherine, the idea intrigued singer Aanu, who sparked a connection with him. But viewers were left baffled by his continued discussion of his spleen in conversation – with some left turned off by the chat, despite finding Patrick charming, saying it made them feel ill. "I loveee Patrick, do you know how nice you have to be for me to ignore the fact you keep mentioning your spleen??" wrote one on X (formerly Twitter). "Please the word 'spleen' is just making me cringe and feel physically sick. How many times are we going to have to hear this nonsense" said a second. "This bloke and his damn SPLEEN, his spleen should have told him to stay home," said a third. While a fourth noted: "The moment that guy talked about following his spleen, I would have been out of there." Despite the spleen talk, Patrick and Aanu did hit it off on the show - at least to begin with. However, the pair hit a wall when Aanu admitted that she puts a lot of weight into what her mum thinks, crediting her for helping her make decisions. The comment was received badly by Patrick, who said that his "spleen was silent" and that their connected had "dipped", with her telling Aanu that she needs to learn to follow her own instincts. From that point on, they struggle to get back on track – and when Aanu decides to open up to him by writing a song for him, he ends things before she can perform it. "I don't want you to give a song to someone who is undeserving of that song," he told her. "I've enjoyed thoroughly talking to you and going through this experience with you, but I have to follow my spleen."
