John Lewis shoppers are raving about an "elegant" cluth bag that looks like a Bottega Veneta bag, saying it's "perfect for summer weddings".

The weaved clutch bag, available in both navy and pink, features gold hardware and it's available to buy online for £45. With a simple clasp fastening, the clutch is ideal for stashing essentials like your wallet and lipstick. It also comes with a slim gold chain for hands-free carrying.

Both navy and fuchsia versions have a silky sheen that makes them look expensive. The clutch is elegant enough for evening events and special occasions. The size measures at H12.5 x W5 x D20.8cm, which fits perfectly in the palm.

A description on the John Lewis website reads: "The gusseted design makes it easy for you to get what you need, whilst the slip pocket helps to keep things organised. The bag is finished with a gold-toned metal chain for hands-free convenience that can be stowed inside if not required."

In the glowing reviews, a satisfied customer remarked: "The quality is great and the bag is a good size. The color was just as pictured. It comes with an additional chain strap which is great."

Another pleased buyer commented: "I like everything about this bag - the fabric and the shape. I have bought it in navy for a wedding to match John Lewis navy suede shoes. Useful to have the chain option."

One enthusiastic buyer posted: "Bought this clutch bag for a wedding in November, gorgeous, well made and so pretty. Bought the blue one to go with a cabolt blue dress."

Another thrilled shopper mentioned: "I bought this clutch bag to go with a dress for a wedding. It's stunning, elegant and great value for the quality. Super happy!"
