The Primark shoes look very similar to a designer pair – without the hefty price tag
Primark has unveiled a new pair of shoes that bear a striking resemblance to a pricier designer pair. The budget-friendly retailer, renowned for its fashion and home goods, may have just released a new favourite.
The high street giant’s Embellished Slingback Court Shoes mirror a style by designer label Carvela but Primark’s version is significantly cheaper. Customers can snag the Primark pair for £20, while the designer equivalent retails at £139 online.
Both pairs boast a slingback design with chic, embellishments over the front and strap, and matching pointed toes. They both also feature similar colour palettes, with silver gems.
However, there are noticeable differences between the two. The Carvela shoes have a higher heel than the Primark version, and the more expensive shoes feature a buckle fastening not seen on the budget shoes.
The designer shoes are also clear beneath the embellishments across the toe. Primark’s shoes are solid under the silver diamantes.
Primark’s product description states: “A pair of pointed-toe slingback court shoes featuring all-over diamanté embellishments.” They are available in sizes three to eight.
The designer description reads: “The Positano Vinyl Sling Low heel features a clear vinyl upper with gold crystals. The sling back strap is fastened with a gold buckle.”
Primark’s shoes are priced at £20, while the Carvela positano vinyl low sling back heels come in at £139 online. This means shoppers could save around £119 by opting for the budget-friendly version.
