The leather bag has seriously impressed fashion fans who think the style is perfect for school or work
Primark is stocking a ‘gorgeous’ new bag that resembles a designer brand. The fashion retailer, popular for its affordable fashion and accessories, has impressed shoppers with a £30 leather bag. The Edit Suede XL Shopper Bag caught attention when it was showcased on TikTok by @mollypaigeee.
Molly told viewers: “This bag is perfect all my ‘starting a new job, or starting sixth form girlies’.” A fan replied: “Yes it’s so good!” Someone wrote: “So pretty.” Another viewer said: “I think you’ve done me a favour and found my new uni bag.” Meanwhile, a keen shopper thought: “This is GORGEOUS.” Molly replied: “Lush colour.”
Primark’s £30 bag arguably looks similar to Radley’s Compton Suede Medium Shoulder Bag, Brown, priced at £299 from John Lewis. While the designs differ in some ways, both handbags are offered in a trendy brown shade inspired by this season’s hottest colour and they could be worn with the same outfits.
The detailing is not identical, but the silhouettes are similar, and both shoulder bags are spacious with large handles, which could be ideal for anyone needing to pack a laptop, books, or similar items. However, the pricier option comes in a warmer shade and does not have the same zip fastening as the Primark style.
The product description for the Primark bag says: “Go big on style and practicality with The Edit suede XL shopper bag. Crafted from 100% leather in a soft suede finish, this extra-large tote is designed to carry it all – whether you’re running errands, heading to work or packing for a busy day out.
“The light brown tone keeps it timeless, while the structured rectangular shape and wide base give plenty of room inside. It’s finished with two shoulder-length handles for easy carrying and a secure top zip closure to keep your essentials safe. A refined staple that’s as functional as it is stylish.”
The product description for the Radley bag says: “The 12-hour bag. The Compton is a style you’ll use morning till night, with a spacious compartment and zipped canvas pocket inside. Designed with inlaid panelling and beautifully folded base corners that only emphasise the suppleness of the Italian suede.”
Alternatively, if Primark shoppers have their heart set on a warmer shade, another similar pick could be the £30 The Edit Suede Extra Large Shopper Bag, which could make another tempting pick for students. It’s described as a ‘stylish extra large shopper bag made from suede.’
Or, for those looking for a smaller handbag, there’s Radley’s Silk Street Leather Small Open Top Multiway Bag, on sale for from £179 to £89.50 from John Lewis.
