This buy features a grab handle and a cross-body strap, for versatile wear.
It also has gold-toned hardware, adding a polished touch to the stylish look.
"Use it to accessorise all your fave fits and get set to bag plenty of compliments," Primark said.
And if you're not already sold, this bag has been compared to high end version, which is currently priced at £1,650 online.
The Mini Bucket Louise in smooth calfskin from Celine has a similar look, including a leather-inspired finish, the bucket shape, and the miniature size.
Both bags also feature similar gold-tone hardware and two similar handles.

However, the designer bag is of course real leather while Primark's is synthetic.
It also features the Celine brand's iconic logo in gold on the front, while Primark's version remains logoless.
The Celine description gave more details on the bag, including the lambskin lining, gold finishing, and Triomphe magnetic closure.
Primark shoppers could save around £1,640 by opting for the bargain version of this bag.
Customers can grab the Primark bag in stores now. You can check availability at your nearest store here.
Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget
By Clemmie Feildsend, Fabulous Fashion Editor
AS someone who's no stranger to grabbing a last-minute outfit from Primark for a night out, it's about time that celebrities started catching on too.
For as long as I've been heading out, Primark has been my go-to for those 'I have nothing to wear' moments, rushing in at the last minute to find something perfect.
And I'm definitely not alone - on any Friday or Saturday night, you'll find plenty of shoppers doing the same thing, right before closing time.
But no matter what, Primark always delivers.
Now, Rita Ora is leading the charge, showing that you can snag a designer-worthy look without spending a fortune at high-end stores.
While Rita's not rushing in last minute for a red carpet outfit, she's proving you can achieve the same high-impact style for much less.
Looking stunning in her tailored suit alongside her mum Vera, Rita fit right in among the other A-listers dripping in Prada, Dior, and Victoria Beckham - if anything, she looked even better than some of the guests at The Fashion Awards.
With Myleene Klass and Roxy Horner already jumping on the Primark bandwagon, I'm sure more stars will be following suit soon enough.
And this sleek bag isn't the only fashion dupe currently available from Primark.
Shoppers have been racing to pick up a Chanel-esque two-piece from the bargain retailer.
The chain also launched dupes of a popular dress for £77 less than the high-end version.
Plus, Primark shoppers shared their excitement over the "perfect" going out top.

Primark caged me like a criminal in the name of Britain's shoplifting epidemic
Going shopping in Primark is rarely a good idea, but last week I decided to pop in for some socks and a few other bits of cheap clothing. Never again. After picking up a heatwave-friendly work dress, a skirt and a few other bits, as well as the socks, I was ushered through to the self-service tills, which I was told were for card payments only. It was a hectic, loud and hot environment, and I quickly scanned my items one by one. They totted up to a grand total of £38, and I tapped my phone to pay, taking my receipt from the machine. The only bag on offer was a reusable Primark-branded tote for 80p, so I opted for the 'no bag' option and, in a rush to leave, shoved my entire haul, un-bagged, in the storage shelf under my child's buggy. Standing up afterwards, I clapped eyes on a large glass barrier blocking the exit, effectively caging all customers in until they had swiped their receipt. I'd heard of such devices being installed to combat Britain's shoplifting epidemic, but this was the first time I had seen one in a physical shop.

Girlfriend shows OTT way her man keeps their belongings safe at the beach & people beg him to try the ‘Balkan method'
SHORE THING Girlfriend shows OTT way her man keeps their belongings safe at the beach & people beg him to try the 'Balkan method' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A DAY out at the beach always sounds like a good idea when the sun is out. But when you get there, you realise it isn't as relaxing as you imagined, from trying to dust off sand to making sure your personal belongings are safe. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Fjona shared the OTT measures her boyfriend took to keep their items safe on the beach Credit: TikTok/@fjona_04 2 But many recommended the 'Balkan method' instead Credit: TikTok/@fjona_04 Taking to social media, Fjona revealed she was at the beach with her boyfriend when he came up with a holiday hack to keep their belongings safe so they could go for a swim together. Rather than taking on the usual tactic of asking someone to keep an eye out he decided to bring their items into the ocean. Fjona wrote: "Your boyfriend is an overthinker so you have to put all your stuff in a plastic bag and take it with you while swimming." In the video, we saw them taking a dip in the crowded sea. Next to the couple was a pool float bobbing along, which was holding up the plastic bag with their items. The clip soon went viral on her TikTok account @fjona_04 with over 400k likes. But people were quick to offer the pair an easier solution. One commented: "Teach him the Balkan method." The user went on to explain that the 'Balkan method' was to put your items in a bag, dig a hole in the sand and place them there. You then want to cover them slightly before putting your beach towel on top. Shoppers 'need' new suitcase from Primark - it's perfect for EasyJet and there's even a matching £7 flight essential too Another agreed: "What? Everybody knows that the safest place for your money, car keys and other important belongings is under your clothes and/or towel." "Much better than the people that ask others to look after their belongings!! "Imagine going to the beach for a relaxing day and being given a job to do so you can't even have a nap on your sun lounger because you have to be a security guard for someone you don't know," penned a third. 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." Meanwhile a fourth said: "This is such a good idea because this is what puts me off going to the beach as an adult as there's no parent to watch my stuff." "That's genius for solo travellers,' claimed a fifth Someone else added: "Wait that's actually a good idea."
