And don't worry if your wallet is feeling the pinch, as this affordable accessory is only £6 - yes, you heard that correctly.
Not only is it purse-friendly and super stylish, but it appears to be inspired by a much more expensive but strikingly similar bag from Crocs.
So if the thought of splashing £74.99 on the Crocs Classic Large Tote sends shivers down your spine, then you'll need to check this out.
While many of us will often buy our bags from New Look, Primark, River Island or H&M, you're sure to be shocked when you find out where this new accessory is from.
Posting on social media, Home Bargains gave shoppers a close-up look at the buy, which has only just landed in stores.
According to the chain, this durable and spacious accessory is 'the bag that EVERYONE will ask you about.'
The bargain buy, which is £68.99 less than the iconic buy from Crocs, is available in three colours - pink, white and baby blue.
It's sure to turn heads when you next go on holiday, but is equally as great for carrying all your stuff when running errands.
Alongside the post, Home Bargains beamed: 'New in and only £6.'
The much-loved chain then added: 'The only bag you'll need this summer!'

But you'll need to move quickly if you want to get your hands on this bag, as the short clip was posted on the Home Bargains official Instagram page just 12 hours ago, but it has clearly impressed many as it has quickly racked up 211,000 views and 1,070 likes.
Fashion fans were stunned by the 'gorgeous' bag and many claimed they 'needed' it.
One person said: 'Ooooh I sense a new viral must have.'
Another added: 'That price is fantastic. Would make an ideal beach bag.'
Alongside a love heart eye emoji, a third commented: 'Omg!!! Need.'
At the same time, one fashionista gushed: 'I want one so bad!!!!'
Hottest fashion trends of 2025
Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street.
The East/West Bag
Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s' shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber.
In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder.
They've been on runway models' arms at nearly ever designer show - think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta - and are hitting the high street now, too.
Powder pink
Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025.
Pantone may say that it's the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own.
If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour.
The shell jacket
The '80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025.
We all know we're likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket.
Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in '80s windbreakers'.
Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion!
The turn-up jeans
While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we're styling them is different.
This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups.
For this look, size doesn't matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good - but only as it's just one single fold.
Peep-toe shoe
Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event.
After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style.
From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street.
Sheer blouses
See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life - until now.
Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S '25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season.
Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks.
As well as this, one woman beamed: 'I need it! Gorgeous.'
Meanwhile, someone else wrote: 'How cool. I wonder if you could add Croc charms to this.'
To this, one Home Bargains shopper responded and claimed: 'It does fit them, it's the dupe of the Crocs one.'
