ASDA is hoping to spark a Black Friday treasure hunt today by hiding Gucci fashions in its George range.

The supermarket is putting 30 cut-price second-hand items from the fashion house in some of its 50 clothing departments in a bid to attract designer label devotees.

With new Gucci styles costing up to £4,000 for a coat and even socks retailing at £145, lucky shoppers could net a special bargain.

Millions will spend today shopping online or rushing to UK stores hoping for huge discounts.

The Asda offer is linked to a partnership with vintage wholesaler Preloved, where second-hand clothes – including designer labels and sought after sports brands – are resold in an effort to make fashion more sustainable.

It also coincides with the release of Ridley Scott's House Of Gucci film, starring Adam Driver and Lady Gaga.

Asda said: 'Thirty exclusive pieces will be hidden in stores around the UK, with teasers on social media encouraging customers to hunt through their local Asda for the chance to purchase a piece of designer history for as little as £12. 

'We have some of the fashion house's iconic shirts, jackets and dresses.'

Bargains include a leaf print blouse from the Gucci Spring 2009 collection, worth an estimated £400

Steve Lynam, managing director of Preloved, said: 'We're delighted to be able to offer their customers the chance to pick up something they have always dreamed of owning in their local supermarket.' 

Black Friday is now predominantly an online event in the UK.

However, retail analysts still believe there will be around 20 per cent more people on the streets today than a week ago. 

Direct Line is predicting spending of £12billion on 30million items.
