You should know by name our achilles heel is a great bag, specifically a designer bag. But, lo and behold our budget does not allow such luxuries, so we turn to affordable alternatives instead.
We have found high end looking bags from M&S, as well as other high street retailers, such as River Island and Mango. But, there is a new piece of arm candy we are desperately waiting for – Tu’s Belted Bag.
Tu’s Belted Bag, which has launched today for £20, is already the bag we want to take everywhere! From the office to post-work drinks, date night dinners, shopping sprees, and as hand luggage for our next vacation.

Faux Leather Multi Compartment Belted Bag
Effortlessly chic and endlessly practical, this black faux leather bag is your new everyday essential. Crafted with a luxe finish, it features multiple compartments to keep your life organised on the go. The roomy interior fits all your daily must-haves, while the adjustable strap and dual handles let you wear it your way. Finished with belted accents for that elevated, polished touch.
If you think the Belted Bag looked familiar, you’d be right as the classic silhouette previously launched at Sainsbury’s, but it has been modified ahead of the upcoming launch.
The sculptural design features winged opening, which means you can fit even more inside than you assume. It features a short top handle that can be clasped in the hands, or worn over the arm. However, it also features a long cross-body strap so you can wear the bag over the shoulder on the long strap or across the body.

The bag comes in a sleek black colourway and features a belt around the top with gold accents for a sleek finish.
The bag is super stylish, versatile and affordable. But the best part is it looks very similar to DeMellier’s The Midi New York Bag, which also boasts a winged silhouette, buckle and gold accent detail around the centre, as well as a short and long strap. However, it retails for £445, which means you could save £245 on your accessory.
The Belted Bag can be worn day and night, and for all occasions, which is why we are counting down the days until we can shop the ‘It’ bag of the season.
