Ever since the brand relaunched in 2015, a swimsuit from Hunza G secured the top spot on every fashion follower’s wishlist. The label first rose to fame after Julia Roberts donned her famous Hunza (the G wasn’t affixed until later) blue and white mini dress for her role as Vivian Pretty Woman. Hunza G’s popularity endures 36 years on – and so does its sky-high pricing.
With the brand’s swimsuits and bikinis costing between £129 (Farfetch.com) and £195 (Selfridges.com), these luxury pieces aren’t justifiable for most of us. So, upon hearing that George at Asda had dropped near-identical designs for a fraction of the price, I rushed onto the supermarket’s website.
