Primark's 'perfect' £15 bag looks 'just like' £119 Arket tote
Primark's new bag looks similar to a more expensive version - and 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 Oversized Crinkle Shopper Bag looks similar to a style by brand Arket but at a fraction of the cost. Shoppers can snag the Primark version for £15, while the other version is currently priced at £119 online.
The bags are very similar, with a woven design and crinkle-look finish in a burgundy shade. They also both feature a similar shape and magnet closure.
However, there are some differences too, including that the Arket bag has an adjustable, leather handle. Primark's is a fixed length and matches its woven design.
The full Primark product description reads: "Get ready to fall in love with this textured oversized crinkle shopper bag. This lightweight tote is perfect for adding a touch of boho chic to your everyday look.
"It's super spacious for all your essentials and fastens with a handy magnet to keep everything secure. The comfy shoulder straps make it easy to carry around town. It's the perfect blend of style and practicality!"
Arket's description states: "Straw bag with an adjustable shoulder strap in chrome-free leather. Features a cotton lining, magnetic closure, and an internal zip pocket."
Primark's Oversized Crinkle Shopper Bag is priced at £15, while the Arket Lined Straw Bag comes in at £119. This means shoppers could save around £104 by opting for the bargain version.
Customers can grab the Primark bag, which comes in burgundy or a striped beige pattern, in stores now. You can check availability at your nearest store here.
