‘I cannot get over this’, say fashionistas after spotting a £10 dupe of the viral COS bag on the high street
IT’S the viral bag we’ve seen all over our social media – the padded COS crossbody bag that makes for the perfect smart-casual outfit addition.
But if you’re not willing to fork out an eye-watering £55 for the summer must-have, bargain-hunting fashion lovers have found the ultimate dupe on the high street.
The best part? Not only is it a close match, but the purse-friendly bag is also a whopping 5.5x cheaper than the real thing.
One happy style lover, Kate Keogh, took to TikTok to show off the replica of the sought-after bag she’d found in her local Primark.
According to Kate, who posts under the username @kate_keo, she couldn’t believe her eyes when she stumbled across a £10 dupe of the COS version.
The bargain lover had picked up the trendy accessory in two neutral colours – black and beige – which makes it ideal for everyday wear.
Just like the posh designer version, the Primark’s padded bag can be sported in a number of ways, whether it’s with a pair of jeans or a dress for a more laid-back vibe.
What’s more, not only is the bag all the rage in the world of fashion, but it’s also incredibly practical, offering heaps of space for all your essentials.
Sharing the bargain find on the platform, Kate said in the video: ”I have been obsessed for the longest time with the COS […] quilted bags.
”I was just in Primark and I found the best dupe – and it’s only £10.
”I cannot get over it […], I absolutely love it, I’m obsessed,” said Kate, who was sporting it with the on-trend leather-style shirt, a chic blonde bob, as well as gold statement earrings and a pair of sunnies on top.
Although the bag is large enough for everything you’d possibly need for the day, the shopper noted it felt pretty ”light” and if wanted, you could also adjust the strap according to your preference.
And it’s not just Kate and the team at Fabulous loving the £10 purchase – her mum Jane, too, was totally obsessed with the Primark’s must-have.
”Couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw these bags in @Primark,” the happy customer wrote in the caption of the adorable video.
Since being posted on the platform, where Kate’s profile has amassed over 36k followers, the clip has racked up more tan 120k views in just three days.
