Friday Treat: Patent Tote from M&S

I have honestly been stalking the M&S website daily since I was at the press show and spotted this bag. As soon as I’ve written this post I’m buying one. I’ve noticed that, along with other mainstream brands, handbags are getting very designer looking. I have a couple of examples to make the point but they’re all but indistinguishable from bags that cost hundreds of pounds.

M&S Bag

At the launch this looked positively Chanel-like – but from researching across the internet the reference seems to be closer to an Ugg x Telfar collaboration (£210).

They’re not a million miles away are they? Obviously, M&S’s is faux all the way through to the ‘shearling’ trim and costs £39.50 HERE which I think is an absolute snip for something that looks so elevated.

Here it is looking more full of life – they’ve teamed it with those mittens  – if you have a teddy coat, the whole thing is just going to look delicious, very double-C and Dora will fit in it very nicely! I will tote my dog in this bag :-).

If you’re more Dior than Chanel, and more navy than black, this houndstooth tote is brand new as well in a blue shade – it could not be more like the Dior Book Bag (£2500).

The M&S Version is also £39.50 HERE. It’s ages since I got excited about a bag but as soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it. Happy weekend :-).

    Wow! Combo bag-mittens is positively smashing… (yep, I’m a “bag-shoes, bag-gloves/mittens or bag-belt” type of girl… whatever they say about it, to me it’s just an old good classic). Dora will look adorable with all this! 🙂 (You can stretch far and get her matching harness or coat for winter!)

    Looks just like the Marc Jacobs medium shearling tote – just missing the branding

    Don’t suppose you know when the mittens in the picture will be available? I can’t find them online and they look fun! Happy Friday Jane!

      I don’t – I’ll keep an eye out though.
