River Island's 'stunning' handbag is 'the epitome of girlhood'
River Island shoppers are "obsessed" with a new beaded bag dubbed "the epitome of girlhood." Customers have fallen in love with a glitzy bag, designed in the shape of a blueberry matcha drink.
The fun accessory wowed fashion fans when it went viral on social media. The Green Premium Blueberry Matcha Shoulder Bag was featured in a popular video shared by a shopper named Ellie, who posts on TikTok as @fenloninteriors_.
In her post, Ellie said: "Fellow matcha girlies, why is nobody discussing this bag? I fear this is the epitome of girlhood." She added: "Could you imagine this with an all-white outfit on holiday? I'm obsessed."
Ellie said the design reminded her of Blank Street's drinks, referencing the popular coffee shop chain. She said: "As a matcha girlie, it's giving Blank Street matcha. Like, I want that just on me permanently. Like, it's stunning. It's also giving that sort of Kate Spade vibe."
The fashion lover added that she didn't think the bag would be for everyone, but she counted herself as a fan. "I deffo need it for holiday," she said.
"I feel like it's going to be Marmite, you're either gonna love it or hate it. I also love the beaded feature, you know, beaded bags are just so in right now. As a matcha girlie, I require this bag immediately."
Elsewhere, @beccieday was just as impressed. In her video, the shopper said: "Obsessed with this beaded blueberry matcha bag in River Island," and viewers had a similar reaction.
Replying to the videos, shoppers said they loved the new style. One fan wrote: "OH MY ACTUAL GOD." Another said their friend "would LOVE" the design, and someone else told a fellow social media user: "I fear you need this."
The Green Premium Blueberry Matcha Shoulder Bag is £50 at River Island. The product description says the beaded bag is from River Island's premium collection and that it has a zip fastening and chain strap.
Similar designs from River Island include the £46 Red Premium Red Sauce Beaded Clutch Bag, the £46 Beige Premium Beaded Pizza Shoulder Bag, the £50 Green Premium 7up Beaded Can Shoulder Bag, and the £50 Blue Premium Baked Beans Beaded Shoulder Bag.
Some shoppers have taken to review website TrustPilot to share their thoughts on River Island. Someone wrote: "I paid £32 for a cross body bag, have had to had it replaced twice since I bought it less than 6 months ago as the stitching has come away. The store replaced it no problem but so disappointed with the quality."
Another claimed: "Products arrived in good order but I paid for a specific delivery day and this was not honoured. What is the point of offering this service if it does not get adhered to. Emailed to complain about this and nothing was done about it. Very disappointing."
Elsewhere, Kate Spade offers a selection of food-inspired accessories. For bag lovers, there's a 3D Hamburger Crossbody on sale from £295 to £189. There's also a Fast Food Burger Pendant for £99 from £170 and Fast Food Burger Studs for £49 from £80.

Oasis fans praised for 'touch of class' moment to disabled fan at Heaton Park
Oasis have embarked on their come-back tour where thousands of fans have waited more than two decades to see the iconic band perform once again Oasis fans have been praised for a "touch of class" moment as they lifted a disabled fan into the air at Heaton Park to give him a better view of the Gallagher brothers on stage. A video has gone viral of the touching moment a collection of concert-goers hoisted the fan up over the weekend. Thousands of fans have tried their hardest to get their hands on tickets to the Oasis come-back tour after the band haven't performed together for two decades. Liam and Noel Gallagher returned their native Manchester as they performed at Heaton Park in front of 80,000 fans. While the band put on the biggest screens in UK concert history, many were still doing their best to get a great view of the iconic reunion as it unfolded in front of them. A video has been posted on social media which shows several people lifting a disabled fan into the air to get a better view of the stage. Thousands of users have viewed the video and have since praised fans of the band. One person commented: "Touch of class that. Well done lads." While a second said: "Oasis fans are the best." The men who are holding the other man in the air are smiling and singing along to the Oasis tunes. Meanwhile, the man being lifted is wearing an Oasis-branded t-shirt and bucket hat while singing the lyrics word for word himself. Another video which showed the same thing was uploaded to TikTok which showed a slightly different angle to what happened. The woman who posted it explained what happened in the caption: "Hey guys! This is Daniel - he went to night one of @Oasis with his brilliant sister Jemma. He wasn't able to get disabled access tickets. "A lady (unsure of her name really sorry if you see this!) got our attention and started to ask around to see who was able to help - she was brilliant! "My husband is at the back with the grey cap on but we don't personally know the other lads - lovely guys though! We've been lucky to find a few of them through this video! I've spoken to Jemma and this was Daniel's first concert - he had a fantastic time! @ Liam Gallagher @Noel Gallagher's HFB thank you everyone for sharing! Music [has] brought everyone together once again." Another sweet moment took place at one of the Heaton Park concerts over the last few days. A couple also got engaged as Oasis performed their song Slide Away. Oasis: What's Their Story? An unofficial celebration magazine on sale now! A few simple words on social media on August 27 in 2024 were enough to spark pandemonium among Oasis fans and were the catalyst for the most eagerly awaited UK gigs of all time. This special unofficial magazine, available to order here, marks the reunion and honours the band both now and down the years with our incredible archive of photos and interviews - and with exclusive reviews and photographs of their first show! Footage shared on social media shows a fan down on one knee as they pop the question to their partner. The couple can both be seen wearing matching blue Oasis t-shirts in the video. After saying yes to the proposal, the newly engaged couple shared a kiss before hugging. Fans watching the special moment can then be seen celebrating as they cheer an clap after witnessing the sweet moment.

Wireless fans say it's 'not for weak' as 'packed like sardines' reality shown
Wireless Festival returned for its 20th year with Canadian rapper Drake headlining all three days of the event at Finsbury Park, London, but one festival-goer has shared the claustrophobic reality A Wireless festival-goer has declared the event 'isn't for the weak' after footage shows him in a tightly packed crowd and really struggling to move. The popular festival returned for the 20th year, taking over Finsbury Park in London. For the first time, Wireless had one artist performing three set lists across the three days, seeing Canadian rapper Drake take to the stage on Friday, July 11, Saturday, July 12 and the final day of the hip hop festival, Sunday, July 13. The artist has been accompanied by an eclectic mix of special guests including Vanessa Carlton, Yeat, Central Cee and more. More than 15,000 people are said to descend on London over the course of the three day weekend to catch artists including Summer Walker, Leon Thomas, kwn, Sailorr, Boy Better Know, BigXthaPlug and many more. Festivals are known for being busy, bustling places with a large turnout of people keen to enjoy live music and the laidback atmosphere so commonly associated with such events. One festival-goer has offered a 'nightmare' insight into their experience in the crowd, though - and it's not for the faint of heart. In the claustrophobic clip, which was shared to TikTok, the Wireless fan can be seen standing in the crowd with other festival-goers closely packed around him. He doesn't appear to have much room to move, as he extends one arm to record the moment while his other appears to be pinned to his side by his co-attendees. Fellow ticket holders also look as though they can't move, as the crowd sways and throbs as one. Over the top of the footage, he penned: 'POV: you survived eight hours on your feet in 30°C heat, packed like sardines, getting shoved around whilst holding your bladder in'. In the caption, he added: 'Wireless ain't for the weak'. In the comments section, people shared their thoughts with the general consensus being that of dread over being in similar circumstances. One person said: 'The heat, the BO, everyone's sweat on me, yeah hell NO' while another simply declared: 'Couldn't pay me to go'. A third said: 'This is an actual nightmare, you'll never catch me in these places'. Someone else commented: 'Personal hell [crying laughing emoji] sat at home and saved all the videos so I was basically there lmao'. Another shared: 'I no longer feel jealous that I wasn't there'. Echoing such sentiments, another person said: 'This is my worst nightmare. I'd have to leave due to being over stimulated and wanting to fight everyone'. One Wireless attendee shared: 'I literally felt like I was gonna pass out at one point, I had to move out of the crowd'. And another festival-goer pondered: '[I don't know] how you guys did this, I was sat under a tree for half the day and still fought for my life'. To which, the original poster replied: 'I don't even know how I [filmed] it, Wireless taught [me] resilience and strength'. Another added: 'Like this is the part they don't be showing cos festivals are not for the weak'. Wireless festival shared advice regarding the heat ahead of the festival. They said: "Stay hydrated. Wear suitable clothing for the hot weather - hat, sunglasses. Wear sunscreen - bottles of sunscreen up to 200ml are permitted. Sunscreen will also be available at medical and info points. Sealed water and soft drinks up to 500ml are permitted, one per person. Bring an empty plastic refillable bottle or coffee cup. Waterpoints will be available around the site. Metal bottles are not permitted into the festival." Wireless Festival has been approached for a comment.
