Primark selling £8 red loafers that are almost identical to £495 Gucci pair

Bargain retailer Primark are selling a pair of loafers that are almost identical to a style sold by designer Gucci but £487 less.

The popular discount chain has become a favourite for fashionistas on a budget thanks to low prices and more recently it has became popular for its designer replicas.

Over the last few years, Primark has sold products which are practically identical to designer items including shoes, clothing and even make-up and it's kicking off 2020 with the £8 pair of red flat shoes, the Liverpool Echo reports.

The Primark and Gucci slip-ons are both a catching shade of red with gold detailing on the front.

It takes a sharp-eyed shopper to spot the Primark's gold design is circular and much closer together than the Gucci pair.

Last year shoppers enjoyed a £14 pair of Primark trainers which were incredibly similar to ones released by Alexander McQueen for £334 more.

Homeware lovers also snapped up a drinks trolley over Christmas which was £365 to a similar one being sold by Oliver Bonas.
