Fashion fans rush to snap up £10 Primark bag that shoppers say is the exact dupe of £1,600 designer equivalent

PRIMARK fans are rushing to pick up a new handbag that many are comparing to a high-end buy.

The budget-friendly accessory is said to bear a remarkable resemblance to a designer item.

Primark, famous for affordable fashion and homeware, recently launched the popular bag.

The retailer’s Belted Bucket Mini Tote Bag is currently available for just £10.

“Sleek and sophisticated, this mini bucket bag is here to revive your accessories edit,” the product description read.

“The faux leather fabric is practical yet elegant, while the belt detail to either side adds extra style points.

This buy features a grab handle and a cross-body strap, for versatile wear.

It also has gold-toned hardware, adding a polished touch to the stylish look.

“Use it to accessorise all your fave fits and get set to bag plenty of compliments,” Primark said.

And if you’re not already sold, this bag has been compared to high end version, which is currently priced at £1,650 online.

The Mini Bucket Louise in smooth calfskin from Celine has a similar look, including a leather-inspired finish, the bucket shape, and the miniature size.

Both bags also feature similar gold-tone hardware and two similar handles.

However, the designer bag is of course real leather while Primark’s is synthetic.

It also features the Celine brand’s iconic logo in gold on the front, while Primark’s version remains logoless.

The Celine description gave more details on the bag, including the lambskin lining, gold finishing, and Triomphe magnetic closure.

Primark shoppers could save around £1,640 by opting for the bargain version of this bag.

Customers can grab the Primark bag in stores now. You can check availability at your nearest store here.

Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget

By Clemmie Feildsend, Fabulous Fashion Editor

AS someone who’s no stranger to grabbing a last-minute outfit from Primark for a night out, it’s about time that celebrities started catching on too.

For as long as I’ve been heading out, Primark has been my go-to for those “I have nothing to wear” moments, rushing in at the last minute to find something perfect.

And I’m definitely not alone – on any Friday or Saturday night, you’ll find plenty of shoppers doing the same thing, right before closing time.

But no matter what, Primark always delivers.

Now, Rita Ora is leading the charge, showing that you can snag a designer-worthy look without spending a fortune at high-end stores.

While Rita’s not rushing in last minute for a red carpet outfit, she’s proving you can achieve the same high-impact style for much less.

Looking stunning in her tailored suit alongside her mum Vera, Rita fit right in among the other A-listers dripping in Prada, Dior, and Victoria Beckham – if anything, she looked even better than some of the guests at The Fashion Awards.

With Myleene Klass and Roxy Horner already jumping on the Primark bandwagon, I’m sure more stars will be following suit soon enough.

And this sleek bag isn’t the only fashion dupe currently available from Primark.

Shoppers have been racing to pick up a Chanel-esque two-piece from the bargain retailer.

The chain also launched dupes of a popular dress for £77 less than the high-end version.

Plus, Primark shoppers shared their excitement over the “perfect” going out top.

JK Rowling praises BBC newsreader Martine Croxall for refusing to say ‘pregnant people’ live on air

AUTHOR JK Rowling has praised BBC newsreader Martine Croxall after she refused to refer to “pregnant people” live on air.

The Harry Potter writer, 59, joked that she had a “new favourite BBC presenter” after Martine overruled her autocue which referred to “pregnant people” being at risk during the recent hot weather.

JK Rowling has been a prominent women’s rights campaigner and has often been vocal on what she calls “sex-based rights” for several years.

In the clip from a recent BBC News show, Martine introduces comments from new research about the number of heat-related deaths expected during the ongoing hot weather period.

However, as she reads along the autocue, she raises an eyebrow and smirks at the camera after having to say “pregnant people” could be at risk in the heat.

She then quickly overrides this, saying “women” instead, before moving on with the rest of the script.

Martine read: “Malcolm Mistry, who was involved in the research, said the aged, pregnant people – women! – and those with pre-existing health conditions need to take precautions.”

Reposting the clip on X, JK Rowling praised the BBC presenter, saying she was her “new favourite”.

It is understood that the term “pregnant people” had been written by the researchers and was being quoted, rather than the BBC having written the phrase.

Other commenters also jumped in to praise “brilliant” Martine, with one saying: “I hope you don’t get hauled before the BBC News break.”

In response, Martine joked: “Braced x”.

Martine has been a veteran broadcaster for the BBC, having first joined the company more than 30 years ago in 1991.

She then began working for the BBC News team in 2001.

This comes just weeks after the same presenter challenged a transgender activist who questioned whether the definition of a woman could be determined by biological sex.

While interviewing ex-Labour MSP candidate Heather Herbert, following the Supreme Court’s ruling that the term women referred to one’s biological sex, Martine found herself in a heated debate.

JK Rowling in bitter spat with Boy George as singer calls her ‘rich bored bully’ over trans rights

JK Rowling has blasted Boy George for calling her a “rich bored bully” – pointing out he once served time for whipping a male escort with a chain.

The Harry Potter author posted a furious response on X after the Culture Club singer waded into a spat with another user who claimed Ms Rowling was “the person maybe most responsible for the push to take away trans rights”.

When Ms Rowling asked the X user “which rights have been taken away from trans people?”, Boy George responded: “The right to be left alone by a rich bored bully!”

Ms Rowling posted a lengthy rebuttal in which she accused the Karma Chameleon singer, whose real name is George O’Dowd, of sneering at “unenlightened plebs” who reject the notion that trans women are women.

She added: “I’ve never been given 15 months for handcuffing a man to a wall and beating him with a chain.”

Boy George was jailed in 2009 for handcuffing an escort to his bed and inflicting “wholly gratuitous violence” at a property in Shoreditch, east London, in April 2007.

The court was told that the cocaine-fuelled attack on Audun Carlsen, a Norwegian man, had been “premeditated and callous” and had left the victim “traumatised”.

Boy George had been found guilty at an earlier trial of false imprisonment and beating Carlsen with a chain with the help of another man, whom he had never identified.

Ms Rowling rejected Boy George’s claim that she was entitled.

During a conversation on clarifying “what the word woman means”, Heather declared she felt like she was “under attack” from Martine’s questioning.

The veteran BBC newsreader countered by questioning how it could be an “attack” when all she was asking for was clarification.

She then told Heather that the ruling made it clear “sex is binary and immutable” after the trans activist denied that local authorities – who have not protected single sex spaces based on biological sex – may have to reverse policies as a result of the ruling.

‘I felt and feel lucky’, says Ryan Tubridy as he reveals romantic way he popped the question to fiance Clare

RYAN Tubridy has revealed the romantic way he popped the question to his fiance Dr Clare Kambamettu.

The Dublin native got down on one knee and popped the question during a beautiful getaway in the west of Ireland earlier this month.

Ryan first confirmed his relationship with former Rose of Tralee Clare with The Irish Sun for his first print interview since the RTE payments controversy broke in 2023.

The pair have since kept the inner details of their love under wraps and while Ryan hadn’t planned on revealing the news just yet, he was forced to come clean after a jewellers let it slip that he had visited their store.

The radio host, who shared the news with his listeners on Tuesday, has now revealed how he carefully planned the romantic proposal to his long-term partner.

Writing in his Mail on Sunday column, he said: “I don’t want to give all the details but I do want to share a few moments because some people were enormously helpful along the way.”

Ryan explained that he had always planned to buy the ring in Clifden, an area which him and Clare both love and where the local jewellers has been a long-standing family run business.

He explained: “I’ve also been preaching about shopping local for years so I wasn’t going to Tiffany’s… I called Jonty Daly in O’Dalaigh’s and asked for some guidance and I can tell you, the man’s a diamond!”

The podcaster then went on to say: “The care, attention and thought he put into every detail was above and beyond, right down to him driving out to Renvyle House Hotel to deliver the ‘package’ to Anne Marie Kelly, the incomparable general manager there. It was all so much fun and it felt distinctly Irish.”

Ryan has often spoken about his love for the West Coast of Ireland, and this proposal showed just how much the area means to the pair.

He said: “By the Atlantic shore, I asked the important question and thankfully, the answer was in the affirmative – and so began the most gorgeous weekend.”

The 52-year-old revealed that the “staff and joyful hotel patrons” helped make each part “feel special”.

He added: “We called into Jonty the next day to thank him and his staff; there was a little confusion about online stories but that was entirely at my end. Jonty did not let the cat out of the bag, it was an innocent miscommunication and we’re all firm friends.

“In fact, he joined us at The Abbeyglen Castle Hotel that evening where my cousin Brian Hughes and his amazing wife, Michelle, raised a few glasses with another cousin, Rachael Coyle and her brilliant husband, Shane.

“Another lovely night was had that ended with songs at the piano! After that, it was Scrabble, cycling and sleeping before boarding a plane in Shannon and heading to the skies a different man with a whole new vista ahead. I felt and feel lucky, happy and ready for another welcome twist in the tale.”

Earlier this week, the dad-of-two told his Virgin Radio UK listeners: “I have a little bit of news that I was kind of keeping a little bit to myself – to ourselves.

“Even though I’m a public person doing the job I do, I also have quite a lot of privacy that I like to keep to myself.

HAPPY COUPLE

“However, the cat has been removed from the bag for a number of reasons and I’m very, very, very happy to confirm that I did indeed get engaged to my partner Clare on Thursday evening in the West of Ireland.”

Speaking about his longterm love, Tubs previously told The Irish Sun: “She has brought an awful lot of joy into my life and happiness and support.

“I don’t want to talk too much about her, because my private life has always stayed private.

“But I think anyone who has met or knows Clare will know exactly why we are seeing each other. I feel very lucky.”

Asked at the time if the clinical psychologist, who he first interviewed on his RTE Radio One show in March 2023, had been a major support during the last six months. Tubs replied: “Remarkably so.”
