Primark is selling a pair of "bold" sunglasses that look very similar to a much more expensive designer version. The retailer is famed for selling quality budget clothing, accessories and even homeware - and now there's a new must have product. The Squared Cat Eye Sunglasses from Primark could easily be mistaken for a pair made by designer brand Saint Laurent - and there's a huge price difference.

The Primark sunglasses come in at £2.50, while Saint Laurent's SL 276 Mica sunglasses are currently available online for £285. The glasses are very similar in design, both featuring a squared cat eye shape, thick black frame, and high bridge frame.



They're both also made with plastic. However, while the Primark sunglasses have a blue tint, the Saint Laurent version are tinted grey. The designer version also feature the brand's name on both arms of the sunglasses, while Primark's are plain.

The huge price difference means shoppers could save around £282 by opting for the Primark version, getting the designer look for much less. The Primark sunglasses are also available in red, brown, natural and pink - you can check your local store to see if they're in stock. Recently, The Edit Faux Leather Large Tote Bag from Primark was compared to a bag by designer brand Polene.

The Primark bag comes in at £22, while Polene's Cyme Edition Textured Camel bag is currently available online for £380. The bags are very similar in design, both featuring a large curved shape, brown colouring, short shoulder straps, and gold hardware. They also both have stitching detail at the seams and on the handles.

Both bags can be worn basket-style, with the sides open and straps on the outside, or as a flower-like closed bag, with the sides tucked in and its straps crossed on the inside. However, the designer version is slightly paler in colour and features an additional, slightly longer handle. It also has a strip of leather attached to the each side of the bag.
