Budget retailer Primark is selling a new bag which looks very similar to ones sold by a designer brand - but for around £1,191 cheaper.

Primark, which is hugely popular in Liverpool, has become known for its designer dupes in recent years, often selling alternative versions to high-end products for much less. It is now selling a Quilted Heart Bag that which looks just like a £1,200 Balenciaga version.

The bag features a similar design to Balenciaga’s Le Cagole Heart Mini Bag. The main difference setting them apart is Primark’s versions feature a gold chain strap whereas the Balenciaga features silver.

Primark’s bag is priced at £9, while Balenciaga’s version would set shoppers back £1,200. This means shoppers could save around £1,191 by opting for the dupe.

While Primark doesn't offer an online shop, the retailer does have a website where shoppers can see its latest products and check if they're in stock before heading into stores to purchase them. The £9 bag is in stores now. You can find the Balenciaga version here.
