Pearl handbags have become the must-have accessory over recent summers, thanks in no small part to the ‘mermaid-core’ and seashell craze that’s sparked a clamour for ocean-inspired designs featuring everything from fish and lobsters to shells and, of course, pearls. Marks and Spencer has certainly caught the wave with their latest pearl handbag, which has become a TikTok sensation dubbed “the perfect summer bag”. Priced at £59, the Pearl Chain Shoulder Strap Handbag is adorned with a myriad of pearls designed to shimmer and shine, giving your ensemble that extra glint of glamour. The bag also comes lined and boasts a sturdy metal zip fastening to keep your valuables snug and secure. With a delicate gold chain strap, the bag also converts into a nifty cross-body, perfect for shimmying the night away hands-free.

Perfect for those summer nuptials or fancy soirées, it’s spacious enough to stash all your essentials yet sleek enough for the most elegant of occasions. And for holiday-goers looking to make a splash, this gem adds just the right amount of glam to any outfit, reports the Mirror. TikTok users @alexandrasidney_ and @julija. kurmelova have been singing its praises on their feeds, proclaiming it “the bag of the summer” with admirers commenting in awe. Among the praise, some standout reactions include: “This is at MandS? ? ? No way”, “she’s beauty and she’s grace”, and “It’s stunning”. However, a handful of customers were quick to voice their thoughts on the hefty £59 price tag, arguing that the handbag doesn’t quite justify the near-£60 cost. If you’re more into shoulder bags than crossbody styles, New Look’s Cream Shell Embellished Shoulder Bag, priced at £32.99, could be your perfect match. This handbag offers a similar aesthetic but swaps out pearls for chic shell embellishments. Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.
