Primark fans are rushing to get their hands on a bargain buy that boasts a high fashion look.
The retailer's latest "dupe" is a handbag that is a dead ringer for one sold by couture designer Balenciaga. One observant shopper had to share her value find on social media, as the accessory costs just £9, over 115 times cheaper than its costly rival.
Celebs such Kim Kardashian, Beyoncé, and Hailey Bieber are known to regularly flaunt clothing from the high end brand, but garments come at a staggeringly high price. Meanwhile, the affordable high street retailer is offering an extremely similar version of the Balenciaga bag that goes for £1,150.
Primark’s Stud Embellished Shoulder Bag comes in two metallic colours - silver and pink - and this dupe would save you a whopping £1,141 while still remaining fashionable and trendy. The silver option is almost identical to Balenciaga’s "Women’s Le Cagole Mini Bag With Chain Metallized In Silver," Manchester Evening News reports.
Both mini-bags are similar in size, shape and colour. Primark obsessed TikTok user @primarkxo shared a video showing off Primark’s silver mini-bag, captioned: "Balenciaga dupe in primark.”
Evie commented on it saying: “i have the silver one, it’s beautiful.”
Primark's description of its bag reads: “Bring a grungy touch to your accessories collection with this studded shoulder bag. Fashioned with a detachable strap and adjustable handle for a comfortable fit and hardware stud attachments, this bag is bound to dress up even the most basic outfits.
“Why not pair it with a tracksuit set and longline trench coat for a model-off-duty vibe or go all out with our range of mini dresses and heeled sandals for a party-ready look? You’re spoiled for choice with two stunning colourways to choose from.”
The Balenciaga accessory is handmade in Italy with Metallized Arena lambskin, aged-silver hardware and has a cotton canvas lining. It comes with a shoulder chain strap with one hook, an adjustable and removable crossbody strap, zipped closure with knotted leather pullers and two inner card slots.
While the bag appears to be sold out on Primark's Click and Collect service, shoppers can keep an eye for it to be restocked or check their local Primark branches in store.
