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.
