Lulu Guinness' £20 luxury tote bag that sold out is finally back in stock
"This bag is a perfect size for work, it is also strong with a beautiful print. Love the quality of every Lulu Guinness item."
If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that a quality tote bag will always prove its worth.
Whether it's for the weekly grocery run, transporting the laptop to work or using as a carry-on when travelling - the tote has emerged as the ultimate versatile companion.
Most of us have accumulated a collection of canvas versions - but occasionally one appears that feels rather special.
That's precisely what occurred when Lulu Guinness unveiled its Lip Flurry of Kisses Tote Bag.
The £20 bag flew off the shelves rapidly, but it's finally returned to stock - and shoppers are racing to purchase it before it vanishes once more, reports the Irish Mirror.
Crafted from recycled plastic bottles, it showcases Lulu Guinness's signature red lips design in a bold design that immediately makes it distinctive.
Customers have described it as "beautiful", "stylish" and "really handy" - with some even purchasing multiple ones for presents.
Measuring 42cm x 51cm x 16cm, it's spacious enough to accommodate a 16-inch laptop, making it ideal as a professional bag, whilst remaining light enough for swift trips for groceries.
It has both short and long straps, allowing you to drape it over your shoulder or hold it by hand, and there are interior and exterior compartments to maintain organisation.
To complete the package, this tote bag even includes a removable zip pouch for your essentials. At £20, it's being described as a "bargain" when compared to similar designer totes.
Elsewhere, the GANNI Zebra Large Shopper Tote Bag is £175, or the Marc Jacobs The Leather Medium Tote Bag is £225 at Flannels.
Whilst the former boasts a striking zebra print design and the brand's logo displayed on the front, the Marc Jacobs piece includes a cross-body strap alongside top handles.
Meanwhile, River Island offers the gorgeous Brown Monogram Print Bow Tote Bag for £42.
The feedback for the Lulu Guinness Lip Flurry of Kisses Tote Bag speaks volumes, with the bag boasting an almost flawless 4.9 out of 5 stars from over 600 purchasers.

Shoppers were equally taken with the additional features, from the robust handles to the removable purse.
One customer remarked: "Lovely tote bag. Great size with inside and outside pocket and attached purse to keep cards/cash in. Great value for money."
Another commented: "Nice big lightweight bag with short and long handles. Also love the little purse that comes with it."
A third said: "I really like the detachable purse that comes with it and the fact that the interior is divided into two pockets so things don't get lost."
Some customers confessed they couldn't resist buying more than one. One shopper wrote: "Beautiful tote! Bought five for all my girlfriends".
Another stated: "WOW! Unbelievable bag at best price, I bought three."
However, not everyone was entirely pleased, with one individual noting they would have preferred a zip across the main compartment. They said: "Nice bag and well made given the price difference from the main range. It's nice that there's a little purse too. Only downside it lack of a zip across the main compartment."
