River Island shoppers have fallen in love with a new beaded handbag from the retailer's premium collection
Matcha lovers say they are "obsessed" with a new River Island bag that's been hailed as "the epitome of girlhood." Shoppers love the beaded style, which is inspired by a blueberry matcha drink. The novelty bag impressed customers when it went viral on TikTok.
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_. Ellie said: "Fellow matcha girlies, why is nobody discussing this bag? I fear this is the epitome of girlhood."
She continued: "Could you imagine this with an all-white outfit on holiday? I'm obsessed." The blogger told viewers the design reminded her of Blank Street's drinks, referencing the popular coffee shop chain.
She explained: "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." Ellie added that she didn't think the bag would be for everyone, but she loved it. "I deffo need it for holiday," she shared.
"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."
In another post, @beccieday was just as impressed. In her post, the TikTok user said: "Obsessed with this beaded blueberry matcha bag in River Island," and viewers had a similar reaction.
Replying to the videos, shoppers praised the new style. One fan commented: "OH MY ACTUAL GOD." A second 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."
Alternatively, Kate Spade offers a selection of food-inspired accessories. For bag lovers, there's a 3D Hamburger Crossbody on sale from £295 to £189. The product description says: "Our crossbodies are perfect if you want to carry your important things without all the bulk. Plus, your hands are free to keep up with all your group texts and grip that vanilla latte."
There's also the Snack Bar Popsicle Small Slim Bifold Wallet, which is on sale for £129 from £195. For jewellery lovers, there's also a Fast Food Ice Pop Pendant, which is on sale for £54 from £90, and the Fast Food Ice Pop Studs, which are on sale for £49 from £80. The product description for the pendant says: "The finishing touch to your outfit. And the reason for all the oohs and aahs."

Coco Gauff explains the mini-French Open trophy she took home after win

Tennis superstar Coco Gauff took home an 'adorable' reminder of her first French Open title that was able to fit right into her carry-on bag on the plane. Gauff showed off her tiny replica French Open trophy on TODAY on June 9 — a keepsake she earned after knocking off Belarusian star Aryna Sabalenka in the championship match two days earlier at Stade Roland Garros in Paris. 'Most tournaments will have the original that they keep with them, and then they give you home a replica,' Gauff explained to Craig Melvin and Savannah Guthrie. 'And I didn't know it was going to be as small as it is.' The Coupe Suzanne Lenglen trophy that tennis fans saw Gauff hoist over her head in triumph after the match is not the one that will be in a place of honor in her home. Champions are awarded a smaller version instead, which Gauff displayed on TODAY. 'This is the replica trophy that we get to take home,' she said. 'It is adorable. It's mini-size, like the little mini-brands, so that's what this is. It looks just like the real one, just smaller.' Gauff also showed the difference between the actual trophy and the replica version in a TikTok video she shared on June 8 while traveling on a plane. She reenacted the same poses she made with the real trophy after her victory, but with the mini-version instead. She giggled as she compared its size to a bottle of Perrier and a cup. 'That's how small it is, but it's the memories that matter the most,' she said in the video. Gauff, 21, rallied from a loss in the first set to beat Sabalenka 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-4 to become the first American woman to win the French Open singles title since her idol, the legendary Serena Williams, did it in 2015. 'I always wanted to win this title,' she said on TODAY. 'I just felt like this was one that was just really meant to be, and to have it happen still feels so surreal.' It marked Gauff's second Grand Slam title in her career and her first since winning the U.S. Open in 2023. 'The first one, I felt a little bit more shock immediately after the match,' she said. 'This one I just really felt deep down like it was meant to be, that I wanted to do it, and I could do it. So I think this one was more just proud than relief.' Sabalenka initially drew controversy with her post-match remarks to reporters that Gauff only won the match 'not because she played incredible, just because I made all of those mistakes.' She then issued a statement on her Instagram story on June 8. 'Yesterday was a tough one,' she wrote. 'Coco handled the conditions much better than I did and fully deserved the win. She was the better player yesterday, and I want to give her the credit she earned.' For her part, Gauff was eager to show that her breakthrough win at the U.S. Open was not a fluke by winning another major tournament. 'I just wanted to prove to people that I can do it again,' she said.

Katie Price fans 'concerned' as she performs in skimpy outfit after latest procedure

Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Katie Price put on a dazzling performance on stage Saturday (June 7) as she wowed fans at Portsmouth Pride. Performing her songs including 'A Whole New World' - her past duet with ex-husband Peter Andre, Katie Price was joined on the bill by stars including Nadine Coyle from Girls Aloud, Sabrina Washington of Mis-Teeq fame, and Ella Morgan – notably linked to Price's beau, JJ Slater from Married At First Sight. Donning a risqué black bodysuit paired with a glittery hat spelling out 'PRICEY', Katie was a showstopper, flaunting her iconic assets and recently plumped up behind after undergoing a filler procedure she broadcasted live on social media in May. Yet as clips from her set made it to TikTok, users of the platform couldn't help but remark on her slender figure. On X, meanwhile, others voicing their concerns, including one person who declared: "I'm worried about Katie Price." While another simply reacted: "Oh dear." And echoing those sentiments, a third X user reflected: "I feel sorry for her, as it doesn't look like she has people around her that have her best interest at heart, by giving her sound advice. It's not funny, it's horrible." It's not the first time social media users have shown concern for the mum-of-five in recent times. In January this year, one tweeted: "Katie Price just popped up on my Instagram and I am so concerned. Maybe she's been like this for a while but is anyone looking out for her? She looks so unwell." It comes after fans admitted they were concerned over Katie's "frailty" earlier this year, after she shared her video of herself in a tracksuit. "Her friends and family are worried about her as she has lost a lot of weight very quickly, and she wants to go back under the knife for more work," a source told OK! at the time. The source elaborated: "She wants to have her ears corrected and her bum lifted with filler, but people who care about her are worried that she's not healthy or strong enough to be going on an operating table." (Image: Paul Jacobs/ Despite such concerns, Katie went through with enhancing her posterior in May. In a candid Snapchat update that same month, Katie addressed her followers about her weight loss - explaining that it had been wholly intentional after a foot injury and IVF attempts had led to weight gain. "Yes, I've lost weight," she confirmed. "Yes, that's what I've wanted to do, I've wanted to lose weight. Because the past three, four years ago when I broke my feet and I was in a wheelchair for 10 months because they said I'd never walk again, and obviously you put weight on being in a wheelchair. "And then I did all the IVF stuff, that also puts on weight. So yeah I did put on weight and I hated it, I felt uncomfortable and it wasn't me." Meanwhile, in a conversation with Olivia Attwood on her So Wrong It's Right podcast last summer, Katie admitted she thought she had body dysmorphia – a mental health disorder characterised by an individual's fixation on perceived defects in their appearance. Katie voiced her intention to have more cosmetic procedures because she'd "never thought she was pretty."
