Asda’s viral leopard jacket that’s a dupe for one £587 more expensive & impossible to get in store goes online this WEEK
IT’S the coat of the season – and one fashionistas are desperate to get their hands on.
In fact, people have been driving to multiple Asda stores around the country in a bid to find the £38 leopard print padded coat.
But in most cases they’ve been unsuccessful, meaning they’ve literally been counting down the days until it pops up online.
And now they have reason to celebrate, as that day is just around the corner.
Set your alarms and man your computers, as the 30th January is when the jacket will be available to purchase online.
That’s despite reports that it would be hitting the website on Monday 27th January.
Many shoppers set their alarms on Monday morning in the hope of adding one to their shopping baskets, but were disappointed to see that just a plain beige version of the jacket was available online.
“Waited up, it’s still not on the website!” one person wrote.
“I had an alarm set for 6am,” another added.
“Checked website, not on, drove to my local and it’s not there either!”
“I tried at 12am, 6am and 7,” a third fumed.
“Are people just having us on?”
“I think it’s all a hype – it’s not on there,” someone else said.
“Been awake half the night,” another raged.
“Still not on the f**king website!”
Fashionistas have been taking to social media in their thousands to gush about the coat – which is a dupe of a Ganni one, but £587 cheaper.
Carrie was one of the lucky shoppers who managed to get her hands on the jacket, after craftily deciding to hit the supermarket late in a hopeful bid to find it.
She took to her TikTok page to share a video of herself modelling the product, as she put her son in charge of filming her from “all angles” so she could see if she liked it.
How Asda has upped it's game
By Fabulous’ Fashion Director Tracey Lea Sayer
Take a whizz round the aisles in Asda it is hard not to notice how good the George at Asda clothing range is at the minute.
Add into the mix their recent collaboration with fashion designer Roksanda, celebrating 40 years of London Fashion Week, which is full of the designer’s signature colour blocking dresses, oversized Borg fleeces and bold stripe co-ords, it is easy to see why the brand is on fire!
All proceeds from the range go to The British Fashion Council to help promote young designers, so a win win!
There also seems to be a return to quality in the clothing range.
‘Style Stories’ with fashion influencer Erica Davies is a capsule collection of Autumn must-haves which delivered not only on style, but on great pocket friendly prices starting from £7.
Gorgeous quilted jackets, slogan sweats and a chocolate faux sheepskin flying jacket are among my faves.

“Coat secured, £38!” Carrie wrote over the top of the clip.
“Late evening trip to Asda to secure the leopard print puffer coat,” she added in the caption.
“Love it – £38 bargain! Reminds me of the Ganni one.”
Carrie also revealed she’d picked up the jacket in a medium, as they do come in on the oversized side.
