For less than half the price, Primark’s “fantastic” new bag has a designer-style design that looks similar.
A new £16 bag that resembles a designer alternative is available at Primark. Primark’s latest style is popular with shoppers, and the high-street retailer has long been a hit thanks to its affordable fashion.
Fashion fans love the Paula Echevarría Metal Shell Clutch. It was featured in a recent TikTok video shared by @abstephens, alongside the £16 Paula Echevarría Straw Seashell Clutch Bag.
Abi wrote: “Run to Primark for these bags,” and an excited viewer replied: “Love them.” Another said: “Stunning,” and a fan added: “Primark is so good for holiday essentials.”
As eagle-eyed shoppers may have noticed, the Paula Echevarría Metal Shell Clutch looks similar to a Chloé bag, available at Harvey Nichols. However, Chloé’s Sea Treasures shell box clutch is much more expensive at £4,190.
Primark’s offering and the designer alternative share many similarities. Conch shells are used in both clutch bags, and the brands have chosen gold designs with clasp fastenings and a detachable strap.
Primark, however, chose a glossy finish. The Chloé bag has shell charms, and its design is textured, giving it a much more muted gold tone.
Additionally, the materials are different. Chloé chose a metal clutch bag with leather lining and presented in a designer box, whereas Primark’s bag is entirely plastic.
This gold-toned metal shell clutch from the Paula Echevarra collection adds some shine to your look, according to the description of the Primark bag. It has a secure clasp fastening to prevent tucking away your essentials, which is a sculptural shell shape with a glossy finish.
With ease, switching between hands-free and handheld styling is simple thanks to the detachable cross body strap. Perfect for evenings out, special occasions, or simply to add a little sparkle.
The new season designer bag is described as a “Chloé metal box clutch “with a” shell design, detachable chain shoulder strap with shell charms, and leather lining. “
Primark’s take on the trend could impress shoppers looking for a similar design for less. Primark’s bag is not available for click and collect. Shoppers can locate their nearest store here.
However, seasells aren’t the only stores that Primark is inspired by this season. Numerous high-street and designer brands have created their own interpretations of the well-known look.
For instance, Selfridges offers a £355 Cult Gaia Nala pleated metallic-leather clutch bag, inspired by scallop shells. The leather clutch boasts a shell design, brand plaque at side, and one main compartment.
