Temperatures are rising, clothes layers are coming off, which means statement bags are the perfect accessory if we're wanting our outfits to pop, and M&S shoppers are wasting no time snapping up the perfect summer bag.
The well-loved retailer has come a long way when it comes to providing bag lovers with affordable, quality pieces that are almost identical to sought after, less affordable designer versions.
So when M&S shoppers spot an amazing dupe like this M&S Collection Straw Striped Tote Bag that's £45, it's only right that we share the love.
The gorgeous tote is a replica of the designer Loewe Basket Bag which is priced at £425, making the M&S version a whopping £380 cheaper.
If you like a quality bag then the M&S straw tote bag has got your name written all over it.
It features a pure cotton lining that will allow you to carry all your delicate essentials inside it when on-the-go without having to worry that your phone or glasses are going to get damaged.
The Straw Striped Tote Bag will keep all your belongings nice and safe- too as it can be fastened securely with a drawstring. There's also an internal zip pocket for you to store any smaller items, while the handy faux leather tan exterior slip pocket and matching handles give it that quality, expensive look.
You'll have no problems fitting all your essentials and more into your tote bag as it measures an impressive 18cm in length, making it easy-to-wear with all your wardrobe staples for a stylish, chic look and feel.

One happy customer said: "This is a to-die-for bag. If you want to look fabulous in the spring and summer, just wear one of these! I love mine so much."
A second satisfied customer added: "Absolutely love this bag, cute bag for the summer. The finish on the bag is very good, overall a good copy of a well known high end designer bag, but for a fraction of the price definitely a win win situation. I prefer this design to last year’s model."
A third customer simply said: "Spot on trend for summer. I would highly recommend the quality of this product."
