So it's no surprise that fashion fans are in a frenzy over Primark's new statement beaded bags.
Not only are there two colourful patterns to choose from, but it's super stylish and will make the perfect holiday accessory.
If that wasn't enough, it's also purse-friendly too at just £16, so is perfect for those on a budget.
Fashion influencer Lauren Arthurs (@laurenarthurs_), from Ireland, eagerly took to social media to share her thoughts on the embellished bag.
In a short TikTok clip, she gushed: "Guys I was on a mission to find these bags in Primark and they are absolutely stunning.
"They're 18 euros (£16). You've got the orange and white with the shellfish and then the lemon one. It is so pretty.
"I am absolutely taking both of them. They are so stunning."
"'Could not be more obsessed", she added in her video caption which has since racked up almost 400,000 views.
Shoppers in the UK will be relieved to hear the bags have arrived here too - with stores in Glasgow, Cardiff and Liverpool already sharing videos and pictures of them on the rails.

Some savvy fashion fans noticed that the bag, which went viral in a leopard and cherry print last year, is a dupe for an £88 version in Anthropologie and £285 one in Staud.
And they're now racing to their nearest Primark in a bid to get their hands on the "stunning" summer bag.
"Omg stop it, I'm in love", one person cried.
A second wrote: "Wow, I love these!! They're giving Anthropologie vibes!"
"Dupes of staud AMAZINGG", claimed a third.
A fourth gushed: "Omg those bags are stunning."
"They're so cute", chimed in a fifth.
Meanwhile, a sixth added: "Wow love these."
It's not the only bags causing a frenzy in store either.
A charming crochet bucket bag which has recently hit stores as part of Paula Echevarría's brand new collection has been hailed by shoppers as "literally perfect".
It has been described by Primark bosses as "a crochet-style bucket bag with braided carry handles and scallop trims'.
Thanks to this 'spacious' buy, which is available in white and black, you can "add a romantic touch to your summer looks.'
The delicate scallop trim creates an elegant silhouette, while the braided handles offer comfortable carrying.
Not only this, but according to those at the much-loved chain, the 'intricate crochet pattern allows playful peeks of what's inside, making it perfect for beach days or city strolls.'
This brilliant bag is sure to look fabulous when effortlessly styled with a bikini and cover-up for days at the pool or beach, and will even be great with a maxi dress for warm nights abroad too.
Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget

AS someone who's no stranger to grabbing a last-minute outfit from Primark for a night out, it's about time that celebrities started catching on too.
For as long as I've been heading out, Primark has been my go-to for those 'I have nothing to wear' moments, rushing in at the last minute to find something perfect.
And I'm definitely not alone - on any Friday or Saturday night, you'll find plenty of shoppers doing the same thing, right before closing time.
But no matter what, Primark always delivers.
Now, Rita Ora is leading the charge, showing that you can snag a designer-worthy look without spending a fortune at high-end stores.
While Rita's not rushing in last minute for a red carpet outfit, she's proving you can achieve the same high-impact style for much less.
Looking stunning in her tailored suit alongside her mum Vera, Rita fit right in among the other A-listers dripping in Prada, Dior, and Victoria Beckham - if anything, she looked even better than some of the guests at The Fashion Awards.
With Myleene Klass and Roxy Horner already jumping on the Primark bandwagon, I'm sure more stars will be following suit soon enough.
