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 Woven Shopper Bag looks similar to a style by designer brand Bottega Veneta, but at a fraction of the cost. Shoppers can snag the Primark version for £15, while the high end version is currently priced at £2,870 online.
The bags are very similar, with a woven design, squared shape, leather-look finish and shoulder strap. They both also feature a magnet closure.
However, there are some differences too including that the designer bag is real leather while Primark’s is synthetic. The Primark bag features a smaller, more compact woven design in comparison to the more expensive version too.
The handles on each bag are slightly different, with Primark’s version featuring a plain strap with a gold-tone buckle, making it adjustable. Bottega Veneta’s version is one size and continues the bag’s all-over woven design.
Primark’s product description reads: “Stay ahead of the style curve with this pretty yet practical woven shopper bag!” The bag is available in chocolate or ecru.
Bottega Veneta describes its version as a “shoulder bag with Intrecciato craftsmanship in calf leather.”
The Primark bag retails for £15, while the Bottega Veneta Hop bag comes in at £2,870. This means shoppers could save around £2,855 by opting for the bargain version.
