Primark shoppers love a 'super cute' new bag that's strikingly similar a designer version Primark has launched a "super cute" £16 bag that looks strikingly similar to a designer alternative. Known for its budget-friendly fashion and accessories, Primark has delighted shoppers with its latest offering. Fashion lovers went wild for the Paula Echevarría Metal Shell Clutch when it featured in a recent TikTok video by @abstephens. She also highlighted the £16 Paula Echevarría Straw Seashell Clutch Bag. Abi told her followers: "Run to Primark for these bags," and shoppers praised the designs. One fan replied: "Love them." A second commented: "Stunning." A third comment read: "Super cute," while another said: "Oooh these look so nice!!" A fan added: "I need them for summer." Someone agreed, writing: "Omg the perfect summer bags." Another commenter said: "Primark is so good for holiday essentials." The Paula Echevarría Metal Shell Clutch could also interest designer fashion fans. As shoppers may have spotted, it resembles a Chloé bag, available at Harvey Nichols. However, Chloé's Sea Treasures shell box clutch is much more expensive at £4,190. There are several similarities between Primark's offering and the designer alternative, reports the Mirror. Both clutch bags draw inspiration from conch shells, with gold designs featuring a clasp fastening and detachable strap. That said, Primark opted for a glossy finish, while the Chloé bag has a textured design, meaning the gold tone is more muted. The materials are different, too. Primark's bag is 100% plastic, while Chloé opted for a metal clutch bag with leather lining, presented in a designer box. The product description for Primark's bag reads: "Add some shine to your look with this golden tone metal shell clutch from the Paula Echevarría collection. Designed in a sculptural shell shape with a glossy finish, it's fitted with a secure clasp fastening to keep your essentials tucked away. "The detachable cross body strap lets you switch between handheld and hands-free styling with ease. Perfect for evenings out, special occasions, or when you just want a bit of sparkle." On the other hand, the new season designer bag is described as a "Chloé metal box clutch" with a "shell design, detachable chain shoulder strap with shell charms, leather lining." Primark's bag is not available for click and collect. Shoppers can locate their nearest store here. Alternatively, shoppers might prefer another retailer's take on the popular summer trend. Several designer and high-street brands have drawn inspiration from the seaside this season. For example, Selfridges offers a £355 Cult Gaia Nala pleated metallic-leather clutch bag, inspired by scallop shells. The leather clutch boasts a shell design, brand plaque at side, and one main compartment. Unfortunately, it's currently sold out. Elsewhere, Zara offers a £55.99 Metallic Shell Minaudière, again inspired by conch shells. The description says: "Box bag. Metallic finish with a shell shape. Chain crossbody strap. Metal clasp fastening." The main bag is made from 100% copper, while the strap is 100% brass and the lining is 100% polyester.
