A “timeless” Primark coat available for £60 looks almost identical to a £5,770 designer piece. Fashion fans keen to shop luxury styles will likely love The Row’s Malika Wool-Blend Coat.
Made in Italy, the beautiful coat features notched lapels, tie fastening and an oversized fit. But the designer style comes with a designer price tag that will be out of reach for many.
Fortunately, Primark is offering a strikingly similar version for a fraction of the price, with details that make the coat look much more expensive than it is. For fans of double-breasted coats, Primark’s The Edit Belted Longline Coat looks stylish, classic and luxurious.
Similarly to the designer option, Primark’s coat features notched lapels and a tie fastening. It also boasts a relaxed fit, slip pockets, and it’s available in shades ‘camel’ and ‘black’, reports the Mirror.
The product description adds: “Cosy up in this belted longline coat when the temperatures drop. Featuring within The Edit collection, which is filled with timeless styles and elevated wardrobe essentials, this coat showcases a classic look that’s always in fashion.

“It’s cut to a relaxed fit that enables you to layer up pieces underneath it, while the long length offers plenty of coverage.” While the composition varies depending on the colour, Primark’s ‘camel’ coat is 51% wool, 46% polyester, 1% acrylic, 1% nylon, and 1% viscose.
On the other hand, the description for the high-end coat reads: “The Row continues to excel in offering understated outerwear, exemplified by the perfectly clean-lined Malika coat. Italian-crafted in a thick wool blend, the double-breasted piece is cinched at the waist with a matching belt, allowing you to take control over its oversized shape and lend it a dose of definition.”

Ever since the brand was established by Ashley Olsen and Mary-Kate Olsen in 2006, it has been a favourite among celebrities and style influencers. Nonetheless, Primark’s coat could be a brilliant choice for shoppers keen to find a similar style at a lower price.
Primark shoppers can purchase the coat via the website’s Click and Collect option. It’s available in sizes XS to XL. Primark also offers a Croc Effect Trench Coat for £42, The Edit Belted Mac for £40, and a Funnel Neck Dogtooth Check Coat for £40.
It’s worth noting that Row’s coat is 78% wool, so its wool content is higher than that of the Primark coat. Designer shoppers might also enjoy the prestige associated with the brand, known for its meticulous attention to detail and fabric quality.
