The retailer has long been popular with high-street fashion fans for its affordable takes on the season's hottest trends, and shoppers love Primark's new beaded bags. As seen on social media, Primark has introduced two beaded bags priced at £16 each. One features a blue-and-white striped design with orange and white starfish accents, and the other has yellow lemons incorporated into the striped design, which is also blue and white, though it's a darker shade of blue. One of viral videos that wowed shoppers was shared by Irish blogger @laurenarthurs_. The bags have also been spotted in stores in England and Wales. In her video, Lauren said: "Guys, I was on a mission to find these bags in Primark, and they are absolutely stunning (...) I'm absolutely taking both of them." In her caption, she added: "Could not be more obsessed," and lots of viewers shared a similar reaction. Someone else praised: "Omg those bags are stunning." A commenter added: "Omg I love the starfish one. My primark is broken." A keen shopper replied: "OMG I NEED." Another response read: "They're unreal," and a viewer thought: "AMAZINGG."

For instance, fashion fans love Primark's £16 Paula Echevarría Metal Shell Clutch and £16 Paula Echevarría Straw Seashell Clutch Bag. Both bags draw inspiration from seashells, much to delight of shoppers searching for summer-themed accessories. The product description for the Metal Shell Clutch says: "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." Meanwhile, the product description for the Straw Seashell Clutch Bag says: "Say hello to summer with this charming Paula Echevarría straw clutch bag.

Primark's 'super cute' £16 bag 'perfect for summer' looks like £4k style
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.

Known as Penneys branched into the UK in 1973 with its first store opening in Derby. The UK now has 191 Primark stores in total. However, the Penneys name could not travel to Britain as the American retailer JC Penney had the right to use the name in the region. And in 2006, the expansion into Europe began with an opening in Spain, followed by the Netherlands, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, Austria, France and Italy. Primark went Stateside for the first time in September 2015, with the opening of a store in Boston. There are now 27 stores in America with branches in Florida, Brooklyn, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The retailer's opened its largest store in Birmingham in 2019. It spans five floors and features Primark's biggest beauty studio to date, a barbers and three restaurants.
