Primark's 'sleek' £5 bag looks 'just like' £200 L.K. Bennett version
Primark is stocking a new bag that bears a striking resemblance to a pricier alternative. Known for its affordable fashion and homeware, the high street giant may have just introduced a new must-have.
The retailer's Textured Zip Top Crossbody Bag looks similar to a style by designer brand L.K. Bennett but at a fraction of the cost. Shoppers can snag the Primark version for £5, while the other version is currently priced at £199 online.
The bags are very similar, with a leather-look design and textured finish in a matching black shade. They also both feature a similar structured shape, zip closure, gold-tone hardware and a crossbody strap.
However, there are also a number of differences - including that the Primark bag is faux leather, while L.K. Bennett's is made with leather. The designer bag also features the brand's logo on the front, which the Primark bag is missing.
Primark describes the bag as a "textured crossbody bag with zip closure and a compact shape for easy everyday wear." It is available in black, ecru, blush and light green.

Primark's full product description reads: "Add a sleek finish to your look with this textured zip top crossbody bag. Its stylish, raised texture gives it a modern, elevated feel. The secure zip top closure keeps your essentials safe, while the crossbody strap makes it easy to go hands-free.
"Compact but roomy enough for your phone, keys and everyday bits, it's a great pick for day-to-night plans. Whether you're heading out for errands or dressing up for the evening, this bag adds an effortless style boost!"
The L.K. Bennett description states: "A chic cross-body bag in our spring collection, the Hudson is a contemporary everyday style. Crafted in Italy from beautiful croc-effect leather in versatile black, it has an adjustable-length cross-body strap, a front pocket with a hidden press stud, double zip detail and it's fabric-lined with a slip pocket. It's designed to throw on and go, for this season and beyond."
Primark's Textured Zip Top Crossbody Bag is priced at £5, while the L.K. Bennett Hudson Black Croc-Effect Leather Cross-Body Bag comes in at £199. This means shoppers could save £194 by opting for the budget version.
Customers can grab the Primark bag, which comes in black, ecru, blush and light green, in stores now. You can check availability at your nearest store here.

Primark's 'most perfect' £15 pyjamas look 'just like' £90 version
Primark's new pyjamas look similar to a high-end version - but there's a huge price difference Primark is stocking a new pair of pyjamas that bear a striking resemblance to a pricier alternative. Known for its affordable fashion and homeware, the high street giant may have just introduced a new crowd-pleaser. The retailer's new viral boyfriend pyjamas look similar to a style by high end brand Lounge, but at a fraction of the cost. Shoppers can snag the Primark version for £15, while the more expensive version is priced at £90 online. The pyjamas sets are very similar, with a matching pale blue colour palettes, button-down front, collar and relaxed cuffs.

The Lounge version also features a chest pocket and a centre-back seam with small slit to bottom edge that's missing from the Primark pyjamas. The Primark pyjamas were shared online by Instagram page @galslovehighstreet. The post was captioned: "I GASPED!!! The most perfect print I've ever seen! @primark … if anyone is wondering what my weekend looks like, it's me in these pyjamas all weekend."

A second wrote: "Not me paying £80 for the expensive version." A third added: "How blinking gorgeous." A fourth shopper said: "Wow I need" and a fifth wrote: "Omg I need them! So so cute!" A sixth added: "RUNNNNNING." A different shopper said: "THIS IS A NEED!!" One wrote: "They are beautiful" and another commented: "Let the hunt begin." However, some shoppers claimed they'd already been to search for the pyjamas - but had no luck. One person said: "I went today after seeing this and they've said they don't have any yet." A second wrote: "Are these on click and collect?! I can't find." A third added: "Primark need to get these online asap! It's a need!"
