PRIMARK is renowned for releasing stylish items that remind shoppers of designer versions – but with a much cheaper price tag.
And the high street giant has delivered the goods yet again in the form of an £8 handbag.

The bag in question is a Mini Canvas Shopper with a tan faux leather handle and a cross-body strap, that comes in beige or black.
Primark bosses describe the bargain buy as a “must-have accessory” that is “cute yet practical” .
They add: “The faux leather handles effortlessly elevate the design, adding a luxe look and feel.
“This bag is completed with a classic zip closure for a practical finishing touch. Use it to compliment all your outfits.”
There is also a larger version up for grabs, priced at £10, that comes in red as well as the two staple colours.
And savvy shoppers may notice that the bags are the perfect dupe for Longchamp’s Le Pliage Original canvas bags.
The difference between the two? A cool £72 for the mini version, and £110 for the larger tote.
So if you’re on a tight budget then you may want to head down to your nearest Primark.
Sharing a short clip of the stylish accessories, staff at the retail giant’s Lincoln store said: “One of our current favourites. Our new bags come in 2 different sizes.”
Shoppers seem to be just as impressed by the new bags too, as one gushed: “Omggg the little Longchamp dupes are so cutee.”
A second chimed in: “Obsessed with this & only £8.”
Meanwhile, a third wrote: “I neeeeeed this.”
The bag isn’t the only dupe shoppers are loving in store at the moment.
Fashion fans are going wild for Primark’s new wrap-around legging sets in beige and chocolate brown which come with a matching vest.
The Seamless Gym Vest Top in chocolate brown cost just £7 and the Seamless V-Waist Leggings in the same shade were £11.
The set is almost identical to Lululemon’s viral wrap leggings but costs a fraction of the price.
While the designer version costs £88 for a pair of gym pants, Primark is just £11 saving you £77 in total.
Why is Primark the place to go for bargains?
JUST how does Primark do it? Continue delivering on-trend items at such incredible prices? According to bosses, it’s down to four points.
- They “sell a lot of items” – Thanks to that, they are able to make savings by buying in bulk for their 191 UK stores
- They “do very little advertising”
- While their clothes offer the “latest trends”, they “don’t use expensive hangers, tags or labels”.
- And lastly, they try to be “as efficient as possible when transporting products from factories to stores”. This includes things like asking “suppliers to pack our t-shirts so they are ready to go straight on shelf”.
