The Primark shoes bear a striking resemblance to a much more expensive pair from designer René Caovilla
Primark is currently selling a pair of shoes that are remarkably similar to a more expensive counterpart. The high street giant, renowned for its budget-friendly fashion and homeware, may have just launched a new latest crowd-pleaser.
The Spiral Diamante Heeled Sandals from Primark bear a striking resemblance to a style by luxury brand René Caovilla but at a fraction of the price. Shoppers can bag the Primark version for £22, while the designer alternative retails at £1,250 online.
Both pairs feature matching soles and spiral straps, which are decorated with sparkling diamantes. They both also have two straps over the front of the foot.
However, there are some differences between the two. The designer shoes feature black diamantes, while Primark’s are silver. The more expensive shoes also feature a higher heel.
Primark describes the shoes as “spiral diamante sandals with stiletto heel and rounded toe.” They are available in cream or black.
The full Primark description reads: “Step into sparkle with these black spiral diamante heeled sandals. The slim stiletto heel and round toe create a sleek base, while two slim front straps shimmer with hotfix rhinestones.
“The standout spiral ankle strap wraps elegantly around your leg, covered in sparkling crystals for a bold, eye-catching look. With no buckle closure, the coiling strap offers a unique fit and style. Perfect for adding drama to your evening outfit, these sandals bring a dazzling finish that’s sure to turn heads.”
The designer description states: “For a flirtatious finishing touch to your favourite after-dark ensemble, look no further than the Cleo sandals from René Caovilla. Adorned with delicate embellishments, this glittering pair guarantees to catch the light with every step – ensuring you sparkle and gleam from dusk ‘til dawn.”
Primark’s Spiral Diamante Heeled Sandals retail for £10, while the René Caovilla Black Embellished Cleo Sandals 105 come in at £1,250. This means shoppers could save £1,228 by opting for the cheaper alternative.
Shoppers can now get their hands on the Primark shoes, in black or cream, in stores. Shoppers can check stock levels at their closest store here.
