Marks and Spencer has launched the perfect bag for the festive season, with the faux fur shoulder bag making a great gift or accessory for Christmas – and its under £40
With the festive season in full swing, we’re all on the lookout for ways to give our partywear a boost. Rather than shelling out for a whole new outfit, adding a playful accessory, like a handbag, can give even the most simple outfit a lift
That’s why we’re loving Marks and Spencer’s new Faux Shearling Chain Strap Shoulder Bag, which you can get your hands on for £39.50. Not only is it a great addition to any festive outfit, but it also makes the perfect gift for fashion lovers, with its under £40 price tag making it ultra affordable, too.

Although it’s named as a shearling material, the handbag is actually made from a silky soft faux fur that’s ideal for adding a little luxurious glamour to your outfits. Although it comes with a gold chain handle that allows you to wear it as a shoulder or cross body bag, you could just as easily tuck the chain inside and use it as a clutch bag too, making it super versatile.
Despite being compact enough to carry around easily, it’s also deceptively roomy inside. Measuring 28cm high, 39cm wide and 6cm deep you can fit plenty of your belongings inside. It closes with a full zip fastening that keeps everything safe and secure.
You can choose from four different colours, too, with black, pale blue, olive green and cream options. Whether you want to give it as a gift or keep it for yourself (we wouldn’t blame you) you can still snap up the bag in all four shades from the M&S website right now.
Although it’s relatively new in, the Faux Shearling Chain Strap Shoulder Bag has already racked up a five star rating, with one reviewer saying: “Fun and practical winter handbag! Love the colour and it has lots of space inside.”
Another added: “Bought this for a Xmas gift for a green lover. I’m so sure she’ll love it.”
