Home Bargains' 'chic' £7 sandals 'almost identical' to £760 designer pair
The Home Bargains sandals could easily be mistaken for a much more expensive version
Home Bargains is selling a new pair of sandals that could easily be mistaken for a much more expensive version. The budget retailer is well known for selling cheaper alternatives for luxury products - and now there might be a new favourite on shelves.
The Originals Ladies Sandals from Home Bargains are priced at £7. They look strikingly similar to a style by luxury brand Hermes, but without the larger price tag.
The sandals share a number of similarities, both featuring a slip-on design and a double-layer sole. They also both have almost identical 'H' shaped straps, with an extra strap across the foot.
However, there are also some differences, including that the Hermes shoes have an adjustable strap while the Home Bargains version does not. The sole of the designer shoes are slightly different too, featuring a slimmer look compared to Home Bargains'.
The budget version has a different coloured sole too, while the Hermes sandals have an all-black design. The designer shoes are made with real leather, while Home Bargains' shoes are faux leather.
Home Bargains' product description reads: "Step into summer with the Originals Ladies Sandals! These comfy slip-ons come in chic white or bold black, featuring a stylish cut-out design that's perfect for beach days or brunch dates. Available in sizes 3 to 7 for the ultimate versatile look!"
It adds: "Get ready for sunny days with the Originals Ladies Sandals, your new go-to for effortless summer style! These comfy slip-ons feature a trendy cut-out design that adds a little extra flair to any outfit.
"Available in sizes 3 to 7, they're perfect for beach strolls, brunch dates, or just kicking back in style. Easy to wear and super versatile, these sandals are a must-have for the season!"
The designer description reads: "The Chypre sandal makes life lighter. Inspired by the island that is home to Aphrodite's waterfall, where the water promises eternal youth, it exudes authentic and timeless style.
"The flexible, durable and adjustable strap is combined with an anatomic rubber sole for ultimate comfort. Contemporary and elegant, it embodies all the spirit of the Maison through its H cut."
While the Home Bargains Originals Ladies Sandals are priced at £7, the Hermes Chypre sandals come in at £760. This means shoppers could save around £753 by opting for the cheaper alternative.
The Home Bargains sandals are available in black or white, in sizes three to seven. Both colours are currently sold out in sizes three.
