Shopper stunned to find Louis Vuitton in TK Maxx – but everyone’s saying the same thing
FINDING the perfect designer handbag in TK Maxx is like finding gold dust.
There’s designers you’ve never heard of to wade through, as well as hundreds of the same bag in a plethora of different colours.

One shopper thought she’d hit the jackpot when she discovered a Louis Vuitton Speedy in TK Maxx High Street Kensington, London.
But Esther Akins was sorely mistaken and soon realised that the price drop on the bag was a far cry from the off-price retailer’s usual discounts.
It was selling the celeb-loved accessory for £950 – just £110 cheaper than Louis Vuitton itself.
The discount worked out around 10% cheaper than going into the designer store and getting the French fashion house experience.
The Louis Vuitton Speedy retails between £1,060 and £1,160 depending on the size of 25, 30 or 35.
Esther took to TikTok to share her designer find and people were just as shocked as her by the price tag.
One woman commented: “I would not give TK Maxx £950.
“Not in this lifetime and most certainly not in the next.”
Another quipped: “Can’t give TK Maxx £950 and they will throw it in some rubbish plastic bag.
“£400 would’ve been good.”
Others thought the bag “must be fake” because they felt an employee at the off-price retailer would have snapped it up before it made it to the shop floor.
One viewer theorised that the bag was part of TK Maxx’s preloved range, meaning it was a second hand bag going for almost £1,000.
Bosses at Louis Vuitton described the Speedy as “a stylish companion for city life”.
They said: “Made from iconic Monogram canvas, the Speedy 30 is an elegant, compact handbag.
“Launched in 1930 as the ‘Express’ and inspired by that era’s rapid transit, today’s updated Speedy remains a timeless House icon.
“With its unmistakable silhouette, rolled leather handles and engraved, signature padlock.”
Among the design options available directly from the luxury designer are its iconic monogram canvas, Damier Ebene canvas in two tones of chequered brown and Damier Azur canvas in chequered grey and white.
TK Maxx’s Louis Vuitton Speedy did not appear on its website and is thought to have been a one off in a London store sat in an affluent area.
