Primark's 'sleek' £11 bag looks 'just like' £175 high end version
Primark's new bag looks similar to a designer version - but there's a huge price difference
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 crowd-pleaser.
The retailer's Leopard Print Shoulder Bag looks similar to a style by high end brand Arket, but at a fraction of the cost. Shoppers can snag the Primark version for £11, while the high end version is currently priced at £175 online.
The bags are very similar, with a leopard print design in a faux hair material. They both also have a rectangular shape with rounded edges, gold tone hardware and a grab handle.
However, there are some differences too, including that the designer bag is real leather while Primark's is synthetic. The Primark bag slightly smaller in comparison to the more expensive version and has a shorter strap.
The full Primark product description reads: "Add some wild energy to your everyday look with this leopard print shoulder bag! The sleek rectangular shape and zip-top closure keep your essentials secure, while the adjustable shoulder strap gives you a comfy fit on the go.
"With golden tone hardware and a bold all-over print, this bag is made to stand out—whether you're heading to brunch or out for the night."
Arket's description reads: "Boxy leather bag with a hairy finish. Features an adjustable top handle with a gold-toned buckle and a slim, attachable shoulder strap. Inside zip pocket and zip closure."
Primark's Leopard Print Shoulder Bag comes in at £11, while the Arket Boxy Leather Bag is priced at £175. This means shoppers could save around £164 by opting for the bargain version.
Customers can grab the Primark bag in stores now. Shoppers can check availability at their nearest store here.

Newport shoppers suggest stores to replace Debenhams unit
This comes after the Argus had recently revealed the new 'disappointing' Home Store, which opened in May and is currently in place is only a temporary solution. The Debenhams unit, which became been after the national department store chain's collapse four years ago, was used as a vaccination centre during Covid. In April, the unit showed no signs of life, but last month, it was announced the Home Store would be taking over the space in Friars Walk, Newport. A spokesperson for Friars Walk said: "Home Store opened its doors in May as a temporary let whilst we continue to look for a more permanent tenant to fill the space; in the meantime, the doors are open, the lights are on, and it's an additional offer for customers in the city." Despite this, some shoppers say they are left unsatisfied and have shared their thoughts on what they would like to see as a more permanent replacement. Amy-Lee Jackson expressed her desire for an IKEA to take over the space, while John Phillips said: "Marks and Spencer's would be good! Better than the one in Spytty." Xannia Jade Williams said: "TK Maxx, huge Primark? Could even have a few little shops in there." Carol da Rosa suggested a ground floor general market like before, with individual shops upstairs. Marie Mar Mite Harris also suggested a Primark, TK Maxx, or a proper market downstairs with shops upstairs. Others suggested using the space for entertainment or leisure. Yana Blake-Walker said: "Please open a roller rink." Rebecca Lucy Smith was in favour of an ice skating rink. Jon Thomson Pierce would like to see an H&M, while Tina Champion said: "IKEA." Ben Chick suggested a big M&S, with a food hall on the bottom floor next to the bus station. Margaret Richards said: "Some nice clothes shops would be nice, but not Primark." Clare Gray said Dunelm, The Range, or Matalan would be perfect in that unit, as there's already cafe space and toilets in there. Christopher Thomas suggested a budget-friendly store like Home Bargains, B&M, or Primark would work well. Rachel Sutton was in favour of a "little IKEA" as she said it would be within most people's budget for kitchen and bathroom essentials. She said: "The problem is they bring the expensive shops that don't last due to the demographic area, and then we have loads of empty shops. "Look at the high street and see what shops have lasted such as Primark." Matthew Moyle suggested a John Lewis, and Geraint Leach said they should "multi-use the building". He said: "It's a shame you couldn't multi-use the building's top floor to be an indoor market, middle floor be something like Costco. "I would say as it's such a big space that they would be better off trying to sell it to business as two units." The city council does not control who lets spaces in commercial units but it has made helping the owners to find tenants for big sites including Debenhams and Cineworld in Friars Walk a priority in its draft placemaking plan. These suggestions from readers on the Argus Facebook page reflect a desire for a more permanent occupier that will bring people into the city centre.
