Shoppers are flocking to Dunelm to buy a 12-piece tableware set, and it's being compared to a much pricier version from Anthropologie.
The tableware deal has been reduced from £60 to £48 - that's a 20% saving.

Amalfi Reactive Glaze 12 Piece
Dinner Set, £48 (was £60)
Dunelm is a popular place for shoppers to upgrade their homeware, and it's known for its affordable prices.
The current sale is cutting prices even further, with up to 50% off, and the Amalfi Reactive Glaze 12 Piece Dinner set is gaining praise from Dunelm fans.
This gorgeous-looking set includes four dinner plates, four side plates and four cereal bowls.
So if your plate cupboard's looking a little mismatched and is need of a glow-up, you could do a full revamp for less than £50.
The name refers to the Amalfi coast in Italy, and this range definitely has that sunny, Mediterranean look.
So it's great if you're looking for an alfresco set-up when having guests over for dinner this summer.
There are four pared-back shades to choose from, but it's the blue shade that looks most like Anthropologie's.
Shoppers are picking up on the similarities too - the most noticeable difference, really, is the price tag.
Although Anthropologie doesn't have a set with the exact same 12items included, the Ginny range is a close match.
But you'd have to buy dinner plates, side plates and bowls separately - and they would all cost £176 altogether.
The colour isn't the only similarity, as both are made from a reactive glaze, something which is often used for handmade items.
This means that there are variations in the shape and pattern, so each piece is slightly unique.
This is something which is often used for handmade items, so it can give stoneware pieces the illusion of being more expensive than they are.
By buying the Dunelm set you'd not only save £128, but the reviews are much more positive too.
Hundreds of shoppers have left their opinions on the Amalfi set, with one shopper commenting: ''I went for the grey [set] - beautiful pieces, they look really expensive and classy.''
Another shopper praised the plate set, comparing it to Anthropologie: ''The nicest plate set I've ever owned.
''A dupe for a very expensive Anthropologie set and it's hard to tell the difference. I love them.''
A third Dunelm fan was also complimentary, saying: ''This is a gorgeous set'', and adding ''the dinner plates fit in our dishwasher without a problem.''
The dining set also seems popular as a housewarming gift, with multiple buyers mentioning that they chose it to give to a friend or family member for their new home.
If you're looking for the Med vibes at home this summer, just make sure you jump on this deal before it ends.

American ambassador to Italy so 'displeased' with official Roman villa he lived aboard yacht and 'commuted via helicopter'

A Texas billionaire turned US ambassador to Italy was so unhappy with his new official villa in Rome he lived aboard his superyacht for weeks. Tilman Fertitta, 68, was nominated to the ambassadorship by Donald Trump in December and confirmed by the Senate in April. However, the hospitality tycoon and owner of the Houston Rockets did not move into his official Roman residence, Villa Taverna, until July 10 following a 'series' of renovations to the property. Prior to that, Fertitta had reportedly been helicoptering in to his engagements on land, much to the annoyance of locals, Airmail reports. A spokesperson for his company, Fertitta Entertainment, confirmed to the Daily Mail that the ambassador opted to live on his $150million yacht during construction to the historic residence. 'Ambassador Fertitta has been living in Villa Taverna since July 10 and couldn't wait to move in with his family,' the spokesperson said. 'Several weeks prior, however, during the construction improvements to the family quarters (which he paid for), required that he live elsewhere. 'Rather than a hotel, he chose to commute from his yacht to the embassy, which amounted to only 3.5 weeks.' His 77-meter Feadship-brand vessel, called Boardwalk, has 12 bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, a chef's kitchen, six bars, a large mosaic pool and a helipad, according to Robb Report. Information on the number of rooms and amenities inside the Villa Taverna is not publicly available, and it is unclear what renovations Fertitta had done to the place. 'No changes have been made to the Villa and he honors its architecture, its history, and is quite excited to reside there during his ambassadorship,' Fertitta's company spokesperson insisted. However, a separate news release from the embassy notes, 'a series of careful renovations' at the historic home. The fifteenth-century Villa Taverna, commissioned by Cardinal Consalvi, was first rented by the US Embassy in 1933, according to the State Department. Villa Taverna is known for its rich history, lavish outdoor gardens and expansive art collections. 'The Villa and its historical gardens are filled with valuable art from antiquity through the Renaissance, to the nineteenth century,' the State Department said. On Wednesday, the State Department announced that Fertitta unveiled a new American art collection at the villa. 'The Villa's new collection, curated in partnership with the State Department's Art in Embassies program, reflects his belief in art as a bridge between cultures—sparking dialogue, telling stories, and enriching shared space,' the department said. The collection features pieces by American artists such as Roy Lichtenstein, Frederic Remington, John Singer Sargent and Hans Hofmann. Before he moved into the residence, Fertitta hosted an Independence Day celebration at the villa with Italian leaders. Fertitta was born in Galveston but is of Sicilian descent.

Armani fined €3.5m by regulator over workers' rights

Italy's consumer regulator has issued a €3.5 million fine to the luxury fashion house Armani over misleading ethical claims. The label, which has been worn by Angelina Jolie, Sharon Stone and Kevin Spacey at recent high-profile events, has long claimed to protect workers' rights. However, the antitrust regulator published findings on Friday claiming Armani had outsourced most of its handbag and leather accessory production to third-party manufacturers, many of which subcontracted to companies that failed to meet health and safety standards. There was evidence at some of the subcontractors' plants that safety devices had been removed to increase production. Sanitary and hygiene conditions were deemed 'inadequate' and workers were 'frequently employed either wholly or partially off the books'. 'In this context, it is evident that the protection of workers' rights and health did not align with the content of the ethical and social responsibility statements disseminated,' the watchdog said. It did not say where the workers were based. Armani said it was 'embittered and shocked' and would appeal against the ruling. It insisted it had 'always operated with the utmost fairness and transparency towards consumers, the market and stakeholders'. Giorgio Armani appeared at Milan Fashion Week in 2024 but did not attend this year GABRIEL BOUYS/AFP/GETTY IMAGES In a 2022 report, the company listed 'respect for human and workers' rights' as one of its greatest concerns and said in statement last year it had 'always had control and prevention measures in place to minimise abuses in the supply chain'. An investigation into Dior, which is owned by LVMH, the French multinational, was closed after the brand made a series of commitments relating to its supply chain monitoring. The Milan-registered Loro Piana and Valentino were put under judicial administration over alleged worker abuses in supply chains earlier this year. Codacons, a consumer rights group, said: 'Consumers who buy products from the fashion giant spend considerable sums [that] should represent excellent quality and workmanship.' Giorgio Armani, 91, remains the sole shareholder and chief executive of the label he founded 50 years ago. In a sign of his advancing years, he opted out of his usual appearance at Armani's runway shows at Milan Fashion Week in June, when the company said he was 'recovering at home'. The brand has a significant presence in the UK, with flagship stores on London's Bond Street and Regent Street, and made €2.3 billion global revenue last year.
