SHOPPERS are going wild for new kitchenware in Sainsbury's that is perfect for summer.
The supermarket has released a new line of trending cups following the viral bow trend.
And people can't get enough, with fans eager to get their hands on them.
Taking to TikTok, Bryony Bird found them in her local store and couldn't get over just how cute they were.
"Girlies run to Sainsbury's for the cutest mugs and glasses," she wrote.
The new mugs are just £5 and come in a chic beehive-style ceramic shape in white with a dainty bow hanging over the handle.
And they look very similar to Anthropologie's new tableware which features a white cup and similar pink bow for £40.
Fortunately, the Sainsbury's dupe comes at a fraction of the price and will save you £35 so you can stock up on multiple.
And that's not all, also on offer are adorable short tumblers with pink bows blown into the clear glassware.
Yet again, it looks strikingly similar to Anthropologie's £14 style – saving you £9 in total.
"Obsessed with the bow mugs and glasses," she captioned the post.
The clip went viral on her TikTok account @bryonybird with over 440k views and 44k likes.
People were eager to get the adorable mugs for themselves.
One person wrote: “I have in fact been influenced.
Another commented: "They always have the cutest things."
"Running to Sainsbury's!” penned a third.
Why you should always buy a dupe over designer...
Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend says it's time fashion snobs stopped looking down their noses at affordable versions of designer buys.
Bargain US supermarket Walmart became a social media sensation when its £60 dupe of Hermès' Birkin bag, dubbed the Wirkin, went viral.
Influencer @styledbykristi gushed: “Eighty dollars (£60), you can pretend that you got a Birkin. I mean, everyone will probably know it's not, because who the hell has the money to spend on the real Birkin? Not me."
Me neither. And why bother? I would never spend that on a designer bag (although if someone wants to buy one for me, that's a different story).
Plus, if I splashed that much, I'd feel I was being ripped off…
We've all been told how the leading brands use the finest leather, thread, dyes and craftsmanship in the world.
But all that is inflated by fashion houses to create the desired illusion of exclusivity.
Just last year, Dior came under investigation for paying £44 to assemble a bag that sells for £2,000.
So while you might think you are paying for top-level craftsmanship carried out by a true artisan, chances are the poorly paid workers are not seeing any of your hard-earned cash.
Dupes — not to be mistaken for knock-offs that copy everything from the logo to the inside label — are a more practical and all-round sensible way to go.
I bought my first when I was 18. It lasted me four years and only broke after I wore it in the shower.
And these days, British high streets have plenty of dupes. In the past three years, Marks & Spencer, H&M and Mango have all seen huge spikes in sales thanks to their canny copies. They use the same viral, must-have marketing tactics that pricey brands have.
Fashion folk will tell you that you are making an investment and buying a "heritage piece" and will turn their noses up at a high street equivalent. But we've been wearing looks inspired by catwalk designers for decades.
If we can buy a bag that's the spitting image of the pricier version, but doesn't mean you have to remortgage, why not?
Meanwhile a fourth said: “OMG I need."
"There's no way I can't not buy these," claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: "Cute!"
