If there's one thing that Marks & Spencer knows how to do, it's seriously stylish handbags. From the faux leather crossbody bag that went viral for looking designer to the trusty totes, the retailer has been spoiling us for choice with its incredible selection of arm candy.
M&S released its Nylon Quilted Shoulder Bag earlier this year, and the staple style sold out in its white and pink colourways almost immediately. As we all begin to refresh our wardrobe for autumn, the retailer answered shoppers' wishes by bringing back the bestseller in a new shade – and it's going to sell fast.
M&S Nylon Quilted Shoulder Bag
© M&SBrown is already a top trending colour for the new season, and the quilted bag feels like the ultimate daywear accessory. Retailing at £35, the high street number features popcorn-style quilting, a lined interior with a zip and slip pocket, finished with a flexible round handle.
I tracked down the white version of the quilted bag before it sold out, and my first impression was how similar it looked to the COS quilted bag that was trending on social media last year. Trending for months on TikTok, the £85 unisex crossbody features an oversized design, with almost identical quilted stitching.
Coming in at £35, M&S's quilted bag is unsurprisingly flying off the shelves, and the black and white versions have already sold out again in-store and online. I was seriously impressed with the quality when I tried on the high street number. The soft quilted texture, comfortable strap and secure zipped design made it feel like the perfect everyday bag – and I loved the size. It had plenty of space for a laptop, charger and water bottle, so I could see it being the perfect choice for days at the office.
The textured bag has received an impressive rating of 4.9 out of five online, with several shoppers raving about its comfortable fit and stylish appearance, while others have noted that they would have preferred a longer strap.

Another added: "Lovely bag. Material soft and durable. Plenty of room for everything. It fits over the shoulder and is very comfortable."
The versatile bag will work with just about anything in your wardrobe, whether it's linen trousers and loafers for the office or a black floaty maxi dress and chunky knitwear. The stylish quilting is perfect for levelling up an otherwise simple outfit, and I'd be wearing mine with oversized jumpers and chunky boots as the weather gets cooler.
