TK Maxx shoppers have discovered a budget-friendly alternative for a chic designer decoration. Savvy bargain hunters frequently head to high street giant TK Maxx for slashed prices on designer wares.
Now, they’ve come across a more affordable version of a £370 designer ornament at the store. Instagrammer Ellie (@fenloninteriors) highlighted the shop’s new addition to it’s collection of bear ornaments—which have a strong resemblance to the trendy Bearbrick brand.
In a fresh Instagram Story, Ellie showcased an image of a pastel-pink bear statuette and said: “Also you know I said I wish this was in clear so I could buy as it’s a [alternative] of Baccarat x BEARBRICK…they listened.”
She uploaded another snap of the identical item now transparent—mirroring the Baccarat x Bearbrick figure, which commands a hefty £370 price tag when bought online. The lookalike from TK Maxx boasts a quaint design similar to that of Bearbrick, yet sports a far more wallet-friendly label at just £12.99.
The décor piece echoes the aesthetic of figures by Bearbrick, which was created back in 2001 as a bear-like variant of Japanese toy enterprise Medicom’s existing line of humanoid Kubrick figurines. These have since evolved into exclusive, highly coveted collectables, reports the Mirror.
Choosing the TK Maxx version could save shoppers approximately £357. In addition to the Clear Glass Bear, the retailer is also stocking the Green Dripping Paint Bear for £16, and the Multicolour OMG Electric Bear Ornament for £14. This means shoppers can save hundreds of pounds by opting for the high street alternatives.
