Primark’s new bag looks similar to a more expensive version and can be bought in stores now
Primark is stocking a new bag that bears a striking resemblance to a pricier alternative. Known for its affordable fashion and homeware, the high street giant may have just introduced a new crowd-pleaser.
The retailer’s Faux Leather Sling Bag looks similar to a style by fashion brand Hush, but at a fraction of the cost. Shoppers can snag the Primark version for £11, while the high end version is currently priced at £129 online.
The bags are very similar, with a leather-look finish, rounded shape, and adjustable strap. They both also feature gold-tone hardware.
However, there are some differences too, including that the Hush bag is real leather while Primark’s is synthetic. The Primark bag features a smoother texture compared to the more expensive version, as well as a magnet closure, while the Hush bag has a zipper.
The full Primark product description reads: “Bags of style? You got it! Say ‘yes’ to an accessories refresh with this grab-and-go must-have. Brought to you in a versatile colourway that goes with everything, it’s made from a luxe faux leather and detailed with a sleek zip closure.
“The cross-body strap is practical yet pretty, while the gold-toned buckle ands a polished look and feel. Use it to accessorise every fit and add a functional yet fashionable finish to all your new season looks!”
The Hush description states: “Worn across the body or off the shoulder for a style to suit you, this crossbody bag is brought to you by HUSH. Stitched from leather for a premium finish and with an adjustable strap, it fastens with a secure zip.”
Primark’s Faux Leather Sling Bag is priced at £11, while the Hush Rory Crescent Leather Crossbody Bag comes in at £129. This means shoppers could save around £118 by opting for the bargain version.
Customers can grab the Primark bag, which comes in tan or black, in stores now. You can check availability at your nearest store here.
