It also has gold-toned hardware, adding a polished touch to the stylish look. "Use it to accessorise all your fave fits and get set to bag plenty of compliments," Primark said. And if you're not already sold, this bag has been compared to high end version, which is currently priced at £1,650 online. The Mini Bucket Louise in smooth calfskin from Celine has a similar look, including a leather-inspired finish, the bucket shape, and the miniature size. Both bags also feature similar gold-tone hardware and two similar handles. Shoppers race to Primark for 'dressy top' that's perfect for a pair of jeans - it's sexy & flattering & in two colours However, the designer bag is of course real leather while Primark's is synthetic.

Primark shoppers could save around £1,640 by opting for the bargain version of this bag. Customers can grab the Primark bag in stores now. You can check availability at your nearest store here. Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget By Clemmie Feildsend, Fabulous Fashion Editor AS someone who's no stranger to grabbing a last-minute outfit from Primark for a night out, it's about time that celebrities started catching on too. For as long as I've been heading out, Primark has been my go-to for those 'I have nothing to wear' moments, rushing in at the last minute to find something perfect. And I'm definitely not alone - on any Friday or Saturday night, you'll find plenty of shoppers doing the same thing, right before closing time. But no matter what, Primark always delivers. Now, Rita Ora is leading the charge, showing that you can snag a designer-worthy look without spending a fortune at high-end stores. While Rita's not rushing in last minute for a red carpet outfit, she's proving you can achieve the same high-impact style for much less. Looking stunning in her tailored suit alongside her mum Vera, Rita fit right in among the other A-listers dripping in Prada, Dior, and Victoria Beckham - if anything, she looked even better than some of the guests at The Fashion Awards. With Myleene Klass and Roxy Horner already jumping on the Primark bandwagon, I'm sure more stars will be following suit soon enough. And this sleek bag isn't the only fashion dupe currently available from Primark. Shoppers have been racing to pick up a Chanel-esque two-piece from the bargain retailer. The chain also launched dupes of a popular dress for £77 less than the high-end version. Plus, Primark shoppers shared their excitement over the "perfect" going out top. 4 The Primark bag has similar details to the designer buy but is created with synthetic leather Credit: Primark

A Boost For Luxury—And Men—as LVMH's Celine Lands A First In Korean Duty-Free

(Photo by Han Myung-Gu/WireImage) Shinsegae Duty Free has opened luxury fashion brand Celine's first dual-gender boutique in South Korea's large, but troubled, duty-free market. The shop is in Terminal 2 of Seoul's Incheon International Airport where Shinsegae also operates boutiques for Bottega Veneta, Hermès, and Louis Vuitton. LVMH, whose stock has crashed by 22% in the first quarter—with sales at its fashion and leather goods division dropping by 5% to just over €10.11 billion ($11.4 billion)—has been busy trying to revive the division. It is the largest by far, accounting for about 50% of the company's total sales of €20.3 billion ($23 billion) in Q1. The French luxury conglomerate has taken several actions. Its fêted Louis Vuitton brand has become the title partner of the Australian Grand Prix; Loewe has brought in Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez as creative directors to replace JW Anderson; and at Celine, new creative director Michael Rider will unveil his first collection in July, good timing for Shinsegae's new unit. The dual-gender Celine concept store is in the duty-free area of Incheon Airport's T2 and, as well as competing with the brands mentioned above, it is also up against other big luxury names. Rival duty-free retailer Hyundai operates boutiques for Balenciaga, Fendi, Gucci, Prada, and Salvatore Ferragamo. As the Celine store is the first of its kind in South Korea's duty-free market it should attract attention if Shinsegae markets it well. The large unit will sell a wide selection of men's and women's collections in a single, cleanly designed space that aims to showcase the French brand's creative identity. The men's selection is available to Korean duty-free customers for the first time, and the boutique is also debuting Celine's women's footwear line in the country's duty-free sector. Last year, Celine—founded in 1945 by fashion designer Céline Vipiana and headquartered in Paris—expanded its Triomphe leather goods line and has successes with its Plein Soleil collection. The brand also launched a new fragrance, Zouzou, and Le Rouge Celine lipstick. Celine also opened three flagship stores in Osaka, Japan; in Seoul in November where Celine brand ambassador Dohoon of boy band TWS fronted the launch (see main image); and Paris, in 2024. A new flagship store, or rather a change of location, is also planned this year on Via Montenapoleone in Milan, according to LVMH, whose brands have a powerful grip on what is one of the world's most fashionable streets. Celine's new airport store is the first to host both men's and women's collections in Korean ... More duty-free. Back in Seoul, Shinsegae Duty Free said of the new dual-gender airport store: 'By housing both men's and women's lines under one roof, it offers travelers a diverse shopping experience, allowing customers to explore Celine's full lifestyle offering in a single destination.' Inside, shoppers will also find the Celine Art Project, a signature element of the brand's global flagship stores. The Incheon boutique includes works by Korean sculptor Yoonsin Kim and Mexican artist Tania Pérez Córdova, adding some cultural depth to the store. In line with this approach, Shinsegae Duty Free has also just opened a former landmark bank building in the Myeong-dong shopping district in Seoul, where Chanel takes the limelight at what the retailer hopes will become a luxury destination. Called 'The Heritage' it opened followed a long renovation. Earlier this year the company closed its Busan duty-free store. In 2024, Shinsegae, the third-biggest duty-free operator in Korea after Hotel Shilla Duty Free and Lotte Duty Free, saw a sales increase of 4.7% to 2,006 billion Korean won ($1.41 billion) despite weak airport sales and a higher rental burden due to a sharp rise in exchange rates. The sales boost was in line with a small rise in the duty-free market overall last year, but since Covid the general trend has been downwards.
