Primark’s ‘cute’ homeware has long been a hit with buyers who adore the charming patterns and purse-friendly prices. The brand’s colourful new spring-inspired collection is no exception. Shoppers on social media are raving about the range and drawing flattering comparisons to Anthropologie.
However, some of the latest items have garnered the wrong kind of buzz. Shoppers have spotted a possible flaw with some of Primark’s new mugs, which look delightful but some might struggle to drink from.
Customers noticed the unusual designs after Primark fans praised the new range on TikTok. In a video shared by @Mrandmrlane, shoppers said they had “found the cutest mugs in Primark.”
However, not everyone was completely on board with the designs. Someone replied: “Cute, but not the most practical to drink out of.” A second replied: “I couldn’t drink a cup of tea out of these I would miss my mouth.”
A third commented: “Gutted that the cake ones would be impossible to drink out of.” Another questioned: “How do ppl drink out of these or are they decor?” and a fan revealed: “I use them as toothbrush holders!”
The video included mugs resembling triangular slices of cake and a toast-shaped mug, reports the Mirror. There was also a range of more traditional mugs, such as an adorable hedgehog-shaped mug
In a separate video upload, @Mels_family_life lauded the “new aesthetically pleasing mugs in Primark.” The clip included mugs designed like a pair of wellies and a rainbow-shaped option, among more typical designs.
The caption read: “I can’t cope with the cuteness, if they are practical? … that’s a problem for another day.” Other Primark homeware items that have delighted shoppers include a strawberry-print ceramic fruit basket ornament, a multicoloured ramen bowl with chopsticks, and a pink egg holder.
Shopper @Louisee_martinn showcased the items in a TikTok haul, writing: “Primark or Anthropologie?” Elsewhere, a fan reacting to a viral video highlighting Primark’s colourful new range wrote: “Would not have thought this was Primark!”
Elsewhere at Primark, Taylor Swift fans have been pleased to see a brand-new range of NFL-inspired clothing. Many Swifites have been rushing to get their hands on the items that reminds them of the American football team Taylor’s boyfriend plays for – Kanas Chiefs.
Primark did not immediately respond when approached for comment.
