Best tote bags for summer
We’re always on the hunt for the perfect summer tote bag: stylish but still roomy enough to stash all your summer essentials. Luckily, we’ve got bags of choice at M&S this summer. This elegant straw bag is perfect for long summer days on (or off) the beach. It’s lined to keep all your bits and bobs safe, so there’s no need to worry about valuables going missing, and you can choose between natural, rich chocolate brown or striking on-trend green. Our straw tote bag has become a summer staple – it’s study, always on trend, and goes with everything from swimwear to summer dresses. If you prefer a splash of colour, go for our striped woven tote bag. Bring on summer!
The best bags for summer events
Summer can be a social whirlwind: weddings, garden parties, BBQs and more. Create a ta-da moment by choosing a statement evening bag. If you’re looking for unadulterated glamour, try this gorgeous clutch bag. The ruching detail and delicate gold chain give it a luxurious feel and it’s already had five-star reviews. We know lots of you are also loving our cult favourite cross body bag, which is a smart choice for special events and comes in a range of colours (our favourite is the latte-inspired shade). Wear it after the big day as a chic plus-one to your favourite summer outfits. Or try this woven shoulder bag that has a retro Riveria-style feel: choose the white iteration for summer parties and events.
