‘Loving the bags’ shoppers gush as Primark drops on-trend cowgirl dupes for £2.3k YSL piece & £2.2k Gucci saddle bag
IF you weren’t already aware – the cowgirl trend is back big time.
Led by proud “horse girl” Bella Hadid and cemented in the mainstream through Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter era, everyone’s after some Western boots and a saddle bag.
You don’t have to fork out designer prices to participate in the style, though.
Sure, it would be nice to own the Gucci Horsebit 1955 Mini Rounded Bag.
But at £2,290 a pop, it’s probably a distant dream for most of us.
Fortunately, Primark has come to the rescue with its brand new offering of cowgirl bags.
Its new light and dark brown beige saddle bags have a very similar vibe to Gucci’s luxury pieces.
Just like the Italian fashion house’s bags, they come complete with a metal clasp fastening and cross-body strap – all for a cool £12.
One suede design, in chesnut brown or chocolate brown, has been compared to the Yves Saint Laurent Le 5 À 7 Supple Large in Suède.
Primark hasn’t released the price of the shoulder bag yet, but we can guarantee it’s a far cry from YSL’s £2,300 price tag.
The fast fashion brand joked that with the new bags, you can “make the cowgirl trend your entire personality”.
One bargain hunter, who goes by Miss Penny Pincher, said on Instagram that she is “loving the bags”.
If you want to take your rodeo outfit to the next level, you can pair one of the bag’s with Primark’s £14 cowboy boots.
The viral Faux Leather Cowboy Boots come in black, silver and beige.
“Cowboy boots are more than just a trend piece, you know,” Primark bosses said.
“If you’re yet to try this timeless boot style, perhaps these faux leather beauties will have you saying yee-haw!
Why is Primark the place to go to for bargains?
JUST how does Primark do it? Continue delivering on-trend items at such incredible prices? According to bosses, it's down to four points.
- They “sell a lot of items” – Thanks to that, they are able to make savings by buying in bulk for their 191 UK stores
- They “do very little advertising”
- While their clothes offer the “latest trends”, they “don’t use expensive hangers, tags or labels”.
- And lastly, they try to be “as efficient as possible when transporting products from factories to stores”. This includes things like asking “suppliers to pack our t-shirts so they are ready to go straight on shelf”.

“Team with a long denim skirt and white tank top for a farm chic look.
“Or go for denim shorts and an oversized blazer to show them off in style.”
Among its other cowgirl pieces are the £12 Diamanté Fringe Cowboy Hat in white or baby pink, plus a selection of chunky and disc belts.
