The legendary Black Multi Lulu Lip Striped Tote Bag has made a comeback – but hurry as it often sells out
As the delighted owner of not one but two of the sought-after Lulu Guinness tote bags, I’m absolutely chuffed to see the designer brand is offering shoppers another opportunity to snap them up. So in-demand that it frequently sells out, this summer has witnessed the comeback of the legendary Black Multi Lulu Lip Striped Tote Bag.
Priced at £30, I reckon it’s an absolute bargain for a designer bag that’s spacious enough for shopping trips, swimming excursions, days out and virtually any other occasion where capacity truly counts. Renowned for her distinctive British flair and trademark motifs, Lulu Guinness has a talent for turning ordinary accessories into show-stopping pieces – and these tote bags are certainly no different.
As someone who adores clean lines and black-and-white colour schemes, they inject a fun twist into my wardrobe. Lulu Guinness bags are crafted to be just a touch eccentric and these two are definitely on-brand with their whimsical designs and oversized red lips – a signature element from Lulu.
The ‘quintessentially British’ accessory designer has previously spoken about her legendary striped tote bag, as reported by the Liverpool Echo. She said: “It’s not your usual tote bag, the design is in the detail. It’s designed to be super versatile and used as your grocery bag for life, but it’s also your everything bag.”
Personally, I’ve found the deep bucket bags incredibly handy and extremely roomy. With measurements of 37 x 57 x 16cm, the tote design technically exceeds the hand luggage size for most UK airlines, but its flexible structure makes it a breeze to slip into rucksacks, suitcases and even handbags.

The stunning Black Multi Lulu Lip Striped Tote Bag showcases a classic Lulu Guinness pattern, topped off with the brand’s iconic red lip motif and logo straps, along with a matching lip charm for a fun finishing touch. Made entirely from recycled plastic bottles, it features a handy interior pocket that’s ideal for keys, mobiles, and other essentials.
To my joy, the bag also includes extra-long shoulder straps and grab handles, making it a comfortable carry even when filled to the brim. A brilliant buy for holidays, day trips and more, the tote provides plenty of room to accommodate everything from a beach towel to a 16-inch laptop.
Just to be transparent, I’m such an enthusiast of designer shopping bags that I also own the Lulu Guinness Flurry of Kisses Bag. Essentially the same size and shape, this bag is an even bigger steal at £20, for those who can still find it in stock.
Adorned with kisses, it also features dual handles for shoulder or hand carry, plus external and internal pockets to keep everything tidy. Adding a touch of stylish flair to your shopping experience, it features a removable zip-top pouch that’s also ‘sealed with a kiss. ‘
This creates the ideal duo of matching designer tote bags that remain within easy reach in my car boot, alongside a selection of Orla Kiely options.
Meanwhile, Oliver Bonas also offers a delightful range of tote bags that are gorgeous inside and roomy outside, such as the Striped Logo Fabric Tote Shopper. At £24, it’s offered in multiple colour options.
Those who adore Cath Kidston and her charming patterns can find numerous choices at Next, including the Cath Kidston Navy Polar Ditsy Large Foldaway Tote Bag priced at £20. Built for portability, customers seeking something more robust might prefer the £26 Cath Kidston Archive Marble Large Coated Book Bag.
I’m not the only one who believes the Lulu Guinness bag is utterly brilliant – the rave reviews speak volumes. One delighted shopper wrote: “This bag is beautiful. It has replaced my work bag for the summer! Worth every penny – was looking at the Waitrose one but this is much better. Thank you Lulu for brining this back at much a great price – I bought two!”
Another noted: “Beautiful bag – was available before at Waitrose but sold out – so glad Lulu brought this back!” A third added: “These are brilliant. I ordered five for gifts for friends. Super quality and eye catching I think a steal at £30.”
However, one customer was less than impressed with the price, posting a one-star review stating: “It’s a great bag but it’s much better because I bought the original from Waitrose for half the price.”
Most buyers seem thrilled with their purchase though. A five-star reviewer labelled it their ‘Barbados must have bag’, writing: “My absolute favourite, easily fit all my travel essentials used as my hand luggage and beach bag. So stylish too. My mum, sisters and I all have one we were once asked if we were in a band with our matching bags.”
