Fashion fans are heaping praise on a £45 Marks and Spencer (M&S) handbag that they are calling a 'Summer bag of dreams'. The M&S handbag, which has been described as 'to die for', is being compared to a 'timeless' £425 handbag from designer Loewe, and a stylish £355 bag from Jacquemus.
Marks and Spencer's Straw Striped Tote Bag features a pure cotton lining that can be fastened securely with a drawstring. It also has an internal zip pocket for smaller items and a handy external slip pocket that matches the handles.
The £45 M&S Summer bag comes in three different colours. Shoppers can choose from Natural, White Mix and Pink Mix. The Natural colourway of the £45 M&S Straw Striped Tote Bag is being compared to Loewe's Raffia Basket Bag in Palmleaf and Calfskin, which retails for a more pricely sum of £425.
