Primark’s new bag looks similar to a designer version – but there’s a huge price difference
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 Belted Bucket Mini Tote Bag looks similar to a style by designer brand Celine but at a fraction of the cost. Shoppers can snag the Primark version for £10, while the high end version is currently priced at £1,650 online.
The bags are very similar, with a leather-look finish, bucket shape, and mini size. They both also feature gold-tone hardware and two similar handles.
However, there are some differences too, including that the designer bag is real leather while Primark’s is synthetic. The Celine bag also features the brand’s classic logo in gold on the front, while Primark’s version is plain.
Primark’s full product description read: “Sleek and sophisticated, this mini bucket bag is here to revive your accessories edit. The faux leather fabric is practical yet elegant, while the belt detail to either side adds extra style points.
“This bag features a grab handle, as well as a cross-body strap, giving it a versatile appeal, while the gold-toned hardware adds a polished finishing touch. Use it to accessorise all your fave fits and get set to bag plenty of compliments!”
The Celine description states: “Calfskin, lambskin lining. Gold finishing. Hand carry, shoulder carry and cross-body carry. Flap in leather with a Triomphe magnetic closure. Removable and adjustable strap.”
Primark’s Belted Bucket Mini Tote Bag is priced at £10, while the Celine Mini Bucket Louise in smooth calfskin comes in at £1,650. This means shoppers could save around £1,640 by opting for the bargain version.
