‘Fluffy & only £8!’ delighted shopper squeals after nabbing budget dupe of £100 UGG slippers loved by Molly-Mae in B&M
IF you would love to spend cosy nights in with Ugg slippers but can’t justify the price tag, fear not.
A shopper has claimed to have found a dupe at B&M which costs just £8.
With the Ugg version costing £105, this is certainly ideal for those watching the pennies.
TikTok user @lucygriffiths01 shared photos of the “fluffy” cheaper pair, which comes a range of colours, including tan, grey, and cream.
The B&M slippers are their Snuggle Platform Mule, which look rather similar to Ugg’s Tazz platform slippers.
Lucy showed how she had bought the brown colour, and even her dog approved of the purchase.
The fashion lover said she would be able to use them out the house too as they have an “outdoor and indoor sole.”
She added: “They have sizes up to 7/8.”
The B&M website states: “Ladies Boxed Mule Snuggle Slippers. Pure warmth and comfort!
“Keep your feet comfy and cosy around the house with these Mule Snuggle Slippers.
“Perfect for winter time and a great Christmas gift or stocking filler for loved ones.
“Keep your toesies roasty toasty!”
Meanwhile, the Ugg version has sizes from three to eight, with a 1.5inch platform heel.
The description reads: “The UGG Tazz Platform Slippers have arrived! These sought after slippers land in the classic chestnut tan colourway, with a smooth suede upper, soft sheepskin and UGGPlush wool lining to keep those feet cosy, and an EVA platform outsole. “These are a must!”
Many people seemed keen to snap up the Ugg-dupe slippers for themselves.
With one saying: “Ooooo u have tempted me to.”
Another added: “i need the brown pair.”
Ugg trend
Uggs have made their way back to being one of the hottest shoes on the market.
Fashion search analysts, Lyst, reported that at the end of 2022 they had over 1.2billion mentions on TikTok.
From supermodels like Irina Shayk to influencers like Molly-Mae Hague they are everywhere.
Whether you’re snapping up Primark’s £6 Ugg dupe or splashing cash on the real thing they have become a wardrobe essential for everyone.
UGGS...UGG-ly or UGG-ssential?
Fabulous’ Deputy Fashion Editor, Abby McHale, has shared her opinion on whether UGGS are in or out this season.
“The term UGG originates from Australia, they were often worn by surfers in the 60’s coming over to the UK during the 70’s.
After Oprah featured UGG boots as part of ‘Oprah’s favourite things’ in 2003 sales of the brand skyrocketed.
Everyone from Paris Hilton to Kate Moss and even Beyonce were donning these fur lined boots and that meant everyone else had to copy.
Back in the day I decided to go cheap and instead of buying a pair from the UGG brand themself which would have set me back around £100, I went to Dorothy Perkins and bought myself some black ones that cost a quarter of the price.
They lasted probably all of a month before they were ruined from the wet weather, I was walking on the side of them and they just looked downright scruffy.
After that I knew they weren’t for me.
Synonymous with noughties chavs wearing them with neon socks and tucking them into onesies they went from being the in thing to a major fashion faux pas.
Finally people could see that they needed to get rid.
They may have been and still are the definition of comfort – however does that mean that we have to be seen back out in public wearing them?
If it was up to me I’d be keeping these boots parked firmly back in 2008 where they belong.
Don’t get me wrong I think the UGG slippers are great and would happily wear a pair of them in the comfort of my own home, but that’s as far as I stretch.
This time round celebrities such as Olivia Attwood, Emily Ratajkowski and Kate Garraway have all been donning the boots.
However, it looks like they are wearing them in between takes on shoot, running errands or a trip to work before swapping for a pair of heels.
Hopefully it stays this way and people just wear them for comfort over fashion – I for one will be sticking with my trainers on this one.”
