Primark’s cute crossbody bag is almost identical to Bottega’s padded Cassette handbag

One of the newest ‘dupes’ to come out of Primark that has got shoppers talking is a cute little double weave crossbody bag. Customers have likened the accessory to celeb-favourite brand, Bottega Veneta.

The bag which has a woven front, costing just £7, has been called a ‘dupe’ of the Bottega Padded Cassette bag which will set you back £3,140. There are some striking similarities between the two items, one obviously being the cross hatch design that covers both.

Primark's design only stretches along the front flap, whereas the designer one has the bag completely covered in the striking stitch. They also have similar straps, long enough to go across the body.

But that’s where the similarities stop, the Bottega bag seems to be a lot thinner than Primark’s and has a greater range of colours with 18 possible choices compared to Primark’s five.

On their website, Primark says “Add some texture to your accessories with this crossbody bag.” And they’re not wrong, the design on the front adds another layer to whatever outfit you may be wearing that day.

There are also five different colours of the ‘dupe’ on offer, black, coral, ecru, green and blue, which would all suit different occasions. The green and the blue are perfect for a spring or summer days out. While the black would be ideal for those who like to match their accessories.

And for shoppers on the hunt for new footwear, River Island is selling a cut-price pair of heeled sandals that luxury fashion fans might find familiar. With spring officially here, many people are looking to refresh their wardrobes in time for warmer weather, without having to splash out.

Retailers have already brought in their new spring/summer lines in stores, but that doesn't mean it's too late to grab a bargain from last year's stock online. River Island's sale is ongoing, with many products priced at less than half of their original price.

Among them is a pair of beige woven mules, which are wide fit and have a slim heel of 6cm in height. They're on sale for £20 down from £48 - a price slash of 58 per cent.
