STRAW or raffia bags are our go-to summer accessory that we call on every season, or for any holiday – they are always chic.
Straw bags are a great way to add extra texture to a summer outfit and if you’re looking for a timeless raffia bag we’ve found a great option from M&S.
Straw Cross Body Duffle Bag, £35, M&S
The Straw Cross Body Duffle Bag retails for £35 at M&S and is quite an investment piece considering the cost per wear we’re expecting to get out of this accessory.
The M&S Straw Cross Body Duffle Bag is the shape of a classic duffle bag design with a flat base with a round body.
This duffle bag has a drawstring fastening you can cinch in at the top to ensure your belongings are secure, or stretch open to access your essentials.
The bag is fully lined and has a main compartment, as well as a zip compartment on the inside, which is perfect for your extra precious valuables.
This must-have arm candy features a short top handle, as well as a longer strap, so you can style the bag across the body, over the shoulder or hold it in your hand to complete your outfit wherever you go this summer.
Plus, the straps are detachable and the longer length strap is adjustable to suit your needs too.
The M&S Straw Cross Body Duffle Bag also features faux leather accents to contrast the straw fabric of the body, a stylish detail we love.
We would pair this bag with any outfit, day or night; style with jeans, loafers, a vest top and a linen shirt for everyday wear, style with a white broderie dress, or any summer dress for that matter, and sandals.
The compliments have been flooding in from M&S shoppers who have hailed this the “perfect summer bag“.
One happy shopper commented: “Gorgeous bag! Also got it for my friend for her birthday because she liked mine so much. Plenty of space inside too.”
Another gushed: “Lovely bag, slightly larger than expected. Holds a purse, and phone with plenty of space for other things.Haven’t been in the rain as details say avoid rainy weather.”
A separate shopper added: “Very pleased with the bag it’s great for my holiday as it goes with every outfit so I don’t have to pack 2 or 3 bags it’s a good size to carry my purse phone sunglasses and my husband’s glasses.”
We did warn you we are obsessed with M&S’ new collection.
