Rita Ora's £50 Primark handbag 'looks like' £200 designer label
Shoppers looking for high-end style for less are likely to love Primark's 'perfect' new bag
Primark's Rita Ora collection includes a suede handbag that resembles a luxury alternative. Famous for its affordable fashion and accessories, the high street retailer is stocking a new style for summer.
The Rita Ora Fringe Crossbody Bag arguably looks like a high-end style by BRAVE Leather, known for its artisan-crafted leather goods. However, it is available for £50, while the Avah Suede bag offered by the Canadian-based brand retails for C$375 (approximately £200). Both styles look similar as they share a slouched tote bag shape, short strap, and fringed detailing.
Despite these similarities, they don't look like the same shade of brown. There are also differences in fabric and construction, and the fringe design on the Primark bag is much longer.
Primark bag's outer is 100% leather suede, while lining is 100% polyester. The product description states: "Bring a little drama to your everyday looks with this chocolate fringe crossbody from the Rita Ora collection.
"Made from leather with a soft, slouchy shape, it's the perfect addition to your day-to-day 'fits. The adjustable strap means you can sling it over your shoulder or wear it crossbody and a secure zip fastening keeps your essentials tucked safely inside, while the generous fringing brings all the movement. Whether you're heading to a festival or just want to level up your casual, this bag's got you."
Elsewhere, the product description says the BRAVE Leather bag is 100% vegetable tanned Italian leather with an unlined suede interior. The brand says the bag is ethically made in Canada.
The product description states: "The Avah tote bag is made from super-soft Italian suede featuring side seamed fringe detail. A must have for the bohemian at heart, or the modern fashionista. The roomy inside features a double leather pocket to accommodate all your daily needs."
Additionally, BRAVE's website states that they custom-make each piece to order in their Toronto workshop. There's also a complimentary embossing service.
Primark shoppers looking for a similar style for less could enjoy a significant saving. However, customers looking for a fringed handbag may prefer to shop elsewhere, reports the Mirror.
For instance, Marks & Spencer offers the Per Una's Suede Fringed Shoulder Bag for £89. The product description reads: "This stylish suede bag from our Per Una range is made for boho-inspired looks. It has a compact design with a single shoulder strap and a secure magnetic flap fastening. Fringing down each side swishes as you move, while an interior zipped pocket keeps your valuables organised."
For those with their heart set on the Primark bag, the style is available for click and collect. You can also locate your nearest Primark store here.

6 memorable times line judges and line calling took centre stage at Wimbledon
The decision has been met by a mixed reception, with some people believing it represents progress and brings Wimbledon into line with most other tournaments, while others have bemoaned a loss of tradition and the removal of roles within the sport. The AELTC has announced operational updates for next year's Championships, relating to the final weekend schedule and the use of Live Electronic Line Calling. Read more ⬇️ — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) October 9, 2024 It should also mean no more rows between players and officials over line calls, which have provided some of the most famous moments in Wimbledon history. Here, the PA news agency looks back at the times when line judges and line calling took centre stage. John McEnroe – 1981 The most famous controversy of all spawned the quote that continues to follow McEnroe around more than 40 years later. In a first-round match against Tom Gullikson, a McEnroe serve on the centre line was met by an outstretched arm from the line judge. Umpire Edward James affirmed it was out, leading McEnroe to exclaim: 'You cannot be serious. That ball was on the line. Chalk flew up.' A six-minute hiatus followed where the American was given a point penalty for calling the official the 'pits of the world'. He went on to win the match and the tournament but his relationship with officialdom remained tempestuous. Jeff Tarango – 1995 Jeff Tarango prepared to leave the court in 1995 (PA) Another combustible American went one step further than McEnroe, defaulting himself by walking off court midway through a third-round match against Alexander Mronz. Tarango's ire was first sparked by a serve he thought was an ace being called out early in the second set. He went on to call umpire Bruno Rebeuh corrupt and, after being given a point penalty, stormed off trailing 7-6 3-1. Tarango's wife Benedicte also slapped Rebeuh across the face behind the scenes. Tarango was fined and suspended for his actions. Fabio Fognini – 2013 Dubbed the 'opera rant', Italian Fognini's reaction to a disputed line call in a first-round match against Jurgen Melzer in 2013 was a full-blown melodrama. When a shot to the baseline was called out, Fognini dropped his racket and collapsed prostrate to the grass before appealing to umpire Pascal Maria, who could barely contain his mirth, in the most dramatic of fashions. Nick Kyrgios – 2022 Nick Kyrgios called a line judge a "snitch" that "has no fans" 👀😬#Wimbledon #BBCTennis — BBC Sport (@BBCSport) June 28, 2022 Another serial offender when it comes to clashes with officials, Kyrgios complained about one line judge being a 'snitch' during a first-round match against Britain's Paul Jubb three years ago. As well as calling lines, the officials also kept an ear out for bad language from players, reporting what they heard to the umpire. That did not meet with approval from Kyrgios, who ranted to the umpire: 'Has one person today come to see her speak? You got fans, but she has got none. She just selfishly walks to you in the middle of a game because she's a snitch.' Greg Rusedski – 2003 A man in the crowd was the subject of British star Greg Rusedski's anger during a second-round match against Andy Roddick in 2003. The fan erroneously called a Roddick serve out and Rusedski, thinking the call had come from the line judge, left it. He lost his temper when the umpire refused to order the point to be replayed and was fined for his outburst. Dorothy Cavis-Brown – 1964 Arthur Sidey's award-winning photograph of line judge Dorothy Cavis-Brown fast asleep at the end of a match on Court No. 3 at Wimbledon in 1964. She dozed as the contest concluded and, to general laughter, as the players left the court — Historic Sports Pictures (@HistoricSports2) May 17, 2021 At match point in his first-round contest, Abe Segal moved to the net to shake hands after Clark Graebner hit a shot well wide. But no call came. All eyes turned to line judge Cavis-Brown, who was slumped fast asleep in her chair. Laughter rippled through the crowd as a ball boy tried and failed to rouse her. The match followed the officials' cocktail party, which swiftly became a thing of the past.
