Primark's £8 shoes are practically identical to a Gucci pair for £487 less

Bargain retailer Primark is loved for offering its customers low prices and more recently its became popular for its designer replicas.

Over the last couple of years, Primark has released products which are practically identical to designer items including shoes, clothing and even make-up.

And, 2020 looks to be no different as Primark is now selling a pair of red flat shoes for £8 which look almost the same as a pair sold by designer Gucci.

Of course, one of the main differences is the price with £487 between both pairs.

Both are the same colour of red with the slip on shoes featuring gold detailing on the front. Primark's gold design is circular and much closer together than Gucci but other than that many shoppers would struggle to tell the shoes apart.

Last year, Primark released a £14 pair of trainers which were practically identical to one for £360 by Alexander McQueen. Primark also restocked a drinks trolley last month, which was £360 cheaper than one sold by Oliver Bonas.
