Marks and Spencer’s canvas handbag gives you a designer look for under £40 and shoppers have been praising it for being ‘brilliant value for money’ and looking high end
When it comes to handbags, the right one can be the perfect addition to your outfit, taking it from simple to chic in a matter of seconds. Although the temptation can be to splurge on something designer – after all, a handbag is something you’ll use all the time – you don’t need to break the bank to get a luxury look.
If you’re in need of a great bag that does it all whilst still being budget-friendly, Marks and Spencer’s Canvas Cotton Rich Grab Bag is the perfect solution. Priced at £39.50, the handbag has already been a big hit with M&S shoppers, and after we spotted it in store we can see why.
The grab bag is a great example of how to blend a trending design with something that’s still timeless and chic. The canvas body is sturdy and hardwearing, and it has a faux leather circular handle and stylish faux leather trim which create an angular design.
It’s not just about the bag’s looks, though, as it’s also super practical and perfect for using everywhere from the office to your in-flight hand luggage. With a height of 24cm, a width of 40cm and a depth of 14cm, the bag gives you plenty of space for carrying your laptop or tablet, as well as giving you enough room for essential extras like an umbrella or even an extra jumper for when the weather changes.
There are also multiple zipped pockets and some handy slip ones inside, which are ideal for keeping your things safe and sound as well as neatly organised. The interior also includes a removable drawstring bag, which you can use as a liner or take out for extra carrying room.
Although we spotted the cream and tan version in store, a quick check of M&S online shows that that version is quick to sell out, so you need to be speedy to snap it up. However you can still pick it up in a sleek all-black colourway which is perfect for pairing with any number of outfits.
Shoppers have also been raving about the bag, with one saying: “This is such a stylish bag and just the right size. Well made and deceptively spacious. Brilliant value for money.”
“Really useful sized bag. Matches everything and looks good. Love it.”
Another chimed in: “This bag would not look out of place within a collection of much higher end handbags. It’s simply stunning, functional and worth every penny. Since purchasing it I have not used any other handbag. It’s definitely the handbag of the spring/summer this year, if not for many years.”
If you’re a fan of these choices but favour a more minimalistic style, the Medium Canvas Tote Bag, priced at £89, from John Lewis might tickle your fancy – it comes in both cream/tan as well as cream/black. Rather than the M&S’ more angular unusual design, it has a classic square shape with grab top handles as well as a detachable cross body strap.
