Primark is stocking a new pair of earmuffs that bear a striking resemblance to a designer alternative. Known for its affordable fashion and homeware, the high street giant may have just introduced a new crowd-pleaser.

The retailer's Paula Echevarría Faux Suede Fluffy Earmuffs looks similar to a style by designer brand UGG, but at a fraction of the cost. Shoppers can snag the Primark version for £5, while the UGG Women's Sheepskin Embroidery Earmuffs carry a price tag of £90 online.

The earmuffs are similar, with an almost identical colour palette and matching faux-fur trim. However, the Primark version are somewhat fluffier, while the UGG set is made with genuine sheepskin and feature the brand's logo on ear each.
