Primark fans are buzzing with excitement over the launch of a stylish trench coat that looks like it could belong to a high-end designer collection. The budget-friendly retailer has wowed customers with its chicCroc Effect Trench Coat.

While the coat might appear somewhat expensive for Primark at £42, it's actually a bargain compared to other luxury brands offering a similar style for thousands of pounds. For instance, Stella McCartney has a brown Crocodile Embossed Trench Coat priced at £5,000, which could easily be mistaken for the Primark option at first.

Brown trench coats are trending this season. They've appeared on the runways of renowned brands such as Hermes and Ami. Recently, Swedish supermodel Elsa Hosk shared a photo of herself in a stylish long brown trench coat on Instagram, and it received a lot of love from her followers.

Just like Stella McCartney's luxurious £5,000 coat, Primark offers a stylish double-breasted trench coat for just £42. Both feature a lapel collar, slip pockets, and a chic croc-effect design.

The key differences lie in the materials. McCartney's coat is crafted from an innovative apple-based vegan leather, whereas Primark's version is made entirely from polyurethane.
