You've probably seen the Rimowa suitcases rolling alongside your favourite celebs and influencers without even realising.
Stars like Zendaya, Cara Delevingne and Julianne Moore have been photographed with the stylish luggage before, but the Rimowa Classic Cabin will set you back a whopping £1,130 - and prices go up if you want a larger case too.
Luckily, one savvy shopper spotted the dupe on the shelves of their local Tesco - and you'll save hundreds.
Libbie Fitzpatrick took to TikTok to show off the find - and shoppers can even choose from gold or silver.
In the viral video she said: "Get yourself down to Tesco because they've just brought out Rimowa-style suitcases and they are stunning!"
The suitcases are priced at £65, but Clubcard shoppers can nab the luggage for just £27.50.
Holiday goers took to the comment section of the clip to rave about the find, as one wrote: "They've been reduced a while now, over two weeks!"
"I got the blue one a few weeks ago, they didn't have gold and silver then. Still prefer the blue.

"Suitcases are so expensive these days so these are a good price on the deal," another wrote.
But others weren't sure if plastic suitcases would be a good fit for airport chaos.
My daughter is never going to school because our eight family holidays per year are more important - parents who only take trips during the official breaks are 'utter muppets'
Meanwhile, others wanted to know if the suitcases were lightweight, "Please tell me it's light weight and won't take off my allowance," one said.
And another agreed: "I don't like hard style cases, they weight a bit more so you can't carry as much."
If you are on the hunt for a new suitcase that will stand the test of time, Captain Alexander York, who flies
The 40-year-old has been using the exact same suitcase for over a decade and knows which cases are more likely to end up being duds.
He told
Hard-shell luggage is rigid and usually made of plastic or metal, while soft-shell
While he did not name a specific one, Samsonite said its hard-shell suitcases are typically made from "high-quality materials like polycarbonate or aluminium."

Alexander recommended hard cases over soft ones, despite their higher weight, as he believes softer ones are at a greater risk of damage.
He said: "I think bags with exposed wheels, or soft pouches are bound to be damaged, so I'd stick with the hard case."
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."

Green-fingered Brits are racing to buy ‘wonderful' £2 flowers that ‘smell like ice cream' from top supermarket

GARDEN enthusiasts are racing to a top supermarket to buy up "wonderful" £2 flowers. They smell just as good as they look too with shoppers saying the bargain buy smells just like "ice cream". 2 Happy customers say the bargain find smells like "ice cream" Credit: Getty 2 Shoppers are rushing to their nearest Waitrose to buy up the flowers Credit: Getty The Nemesia "Wisley Vanilla" can be found at Waitrose for £2 each or six for £10. With the warmer weather upon us, they're a fantastic affordable option for your gardens and outdoor spaces this summer. An online blogger, Stacey, revealed the latest bargain find in a viral TikTok video. She said: "When I saw another influencer say that these plants smell of vanilla, I had to run and grab them. Read more Fabulous news "I saw that Waitrose had them on offer for six for £10, which I thought was an absolute bargain." Stacey highlighted the Nemesia "Wisley Vanilla" in her video which she added to a planter-shaped wicker basket she purchased from Home Bargains. Sharing the find with followers, she wrote: "Adding some beautiful aromas to the garden run to Waitrose if you love the scent of vanilla." Viewers loved Stacey's recommendation as the video wowed viewers who were impressed with the bargain find. Most read in Fabulous One viewer said: "I had one last year and it made one corner of the garden smell like ice cream - loved it. "Off to see if my Waitrose has these!" Another added: "Last year I brought huge Vanilla Nemesia plants for real cheap (£10) in B&Q they made my whole garden smell and the flowers returned this year." A fellow gardener also added: "Buy some white bacopa and they will magically grow down the side. I hate my new build garden being overlooked so found a 5 METRE privacy fence to block out nosy neighbours for under £30 "Mine have been flowering since March and will flower all summer." But shoppers should be aware that while they can purchase the Nemesia from Waitrose's website, prices vary. The retailer currently lists a 9cm pot from £6.99. The flower is described on their website as: "Pretty pale pink flowers with a bright golden eye appear on Nemesia 'Wisley Vanilla' from May through to September. "A short and very compact cultivar that is great for adding colour to the front of a sunny garden border or in pots on the patio." It goes on to warn, however, that "winter protection is needed" for colder areas. Offering garden advice, the description also adds that the flower can be "planted outside into a well-prepared bed, or used to fill decorative pots and hanging baskets for the patio" once the warmer weather arrives. Waitrose advises: "Pinching out the growing tips will encourage them to become bushier. "Feeding with a high-potash fertiliser at regular intervals throughout the summer will promote even more flowers to form."

I'm a size 14 and 5ft 10 – I've found the perfect tummy-friendly summer dress that's as comfy as a tracksuit & costs £20

THEY are part and parcel of summer, but can be less than forgiving on curvier women. However, one fashion fan has said she's found the perfect summer dress for anyone who's self-conscious of their figure, and it's only £20. 6 A fashion fan has shared her top summer buys from Peacocks Credit: TikTok/@user604251860 6 Due to being made of thick jersey, it's super flattering on the tummy Credit: TikTok/@user604251860 6 The £20 dress also comes in red Credit: TikTok/@user604251860 Not only that, but the patterned midi dress is so comfortable that it's like wearing a tracksuit. Peacocks As an added bonus, the £25 dress is currently reduced to just £20 on the Peacocks website. "It's a great summer dress and also wearable because here you've got thicker straps," she said, referring to the fact you can easily wear a bra underneath without the straps showing. Read more Style stories "You've got a thicker jersey so it doesn't cling to your tummy." And there are also buttons at the front that don't undo - meaning they won't gape even if you're top heavy. The dress also comes in red and white, and is also incredibly comfy in the hot weather. "This dress, because of the fact that it's jersey and very comfortable, means you can just put this on whenever," she added. Most read in Fabulous "It feels like you're wearing a tracksuit version of a dress." She also explained she'd sized up because of her height, but said you might not need to do that if you're not on the taller side. I tried two fabulous new dresses from Dunnes Stores, they're perfect for special occasions and great value- "Either way, it's a fab dress!" she concluded. And it wasn't the only dress she fell in love with as part of the haul. There was also a white one that caught her eye, thanks to its strappy top and billowing skirt - which, once again, hides the tummy area. It also has pockets - a feature everyone appreciates! Next up was a patterned number with a "loose fit", that comes with a matching belt if you want to cinch it in at the waist. "I love this one!" she gushed. Hottest fashion trends of 2025 Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street. The East/West Bag Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s' shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber. In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder. They've been on runway models' arms at nearly ever designer show - think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta - and are hitting the high street now, too. Powder pink Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025. Pantone may say that it's the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own. If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour. The shell jacket The '80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025. We all know we're likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket. Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in '80s windbreakers'. Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion! The turn-up jeans While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we're styling them is different. This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups. For this look, size doesn't matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good - but only as it's just one single fold. Peep-toe shoe Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event. After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style. From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street. Sheer blouses See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life - until now. Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S '25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season. Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks. "These new summer dresses at Peacocks are the perfect choice," the video was captioned. And people in the comments section insisted they'd been easily influenced by the video - and shot to the website to place their orders. "I saw your video and went and bought the black dress with fitted top," one wrote. "I love it!" "I got a lovely dress from here," another insisted. "I just got the 14 in black, I love it!" a third agreed. "I ordered the red," someone else said. As another wrote: "I love Peacocks!" 6 This dress is really flattering too, and comes with a belt if you want to cinch it in Credit: TikTok/@user604251860 6 While this white dress was another of her favourites Credit: TikTok/@user604251860 6 It even has pockets - a much loved feature among fashion fans Credit: TikTok/@user604251860
