High street bargain retailer Primark has made something of a name for itself in recent years when it comes to selling affordable designer dupes. Whilst designer fashion often paves the way for the latest trends, leaving fashionistas craving the pricey pieces, many are unable to afford them, especially as the cost of living skyrockets.
To stay on trend without breaking the bank, many shoppers purchase items that look like almost identical to designer pieces but without the steep price tag attached to them. Most recently, Primark has been showered in praise by customers after adding a pair of boots to its stores which look very similar to those sold by a high end brand for around £500 less.
At the moment, the budget fashion store is selling a pair of heeled boots which feature a design very similar to a croc-effect leather knee-high pair by Italian designer brand Paris Texas, which are priced at £530 online. Primark's version of the boots are close to the designer boots in colour, and also boast a leather, crocodile-effect design, the Liverpool Echo reports.
