"I absolutely love this bag! It has two different type handles which is useful when there's a lot in the bag and can also put on the shoulder. Love that design and can be used as a beach bag. I've had many compliments. Well done Lulu Guinness," one satisfied shopper wrote.
One more admitted they'd been patiently waiting to get their hands on it, saying, "I waited a while for this to come back in stock but so glad I did," while another penned, "Very useful bag for shopping or beach, and who can resist a Lulu?"
We have to agree - and we certainly won't be resisting the opportunity to get our hands on the designer bag bargain.
