And at the same time, another described it as “gorgeous” and beamed: “Lovely little bag. Beautiful colour and just what I was looking for.” 

But if you fancy getting your hands on this beautiful bag, you’ll need to move fast, as 26 New Look stores are set to close. 

At the beginning of the year, New Look revealed they would “accelerate future store closures” as each branch’s lease expires, according to The Times.

This was primarily due to tax spikes looming ahead after Rachel Reeves released the Autumn budget.

How New Look reinvented itself from a teen shop

by Fabulous fashion editor Clemmie Fieldsend

“REMEMBER on a Saturday you’d meet up with your mates in your local town or city centre for a nosey around the shops?
Well, if you were like me you’d end up in a New Look.” says Clemmie Fieldsend.
“New Look was always one of those shops that when all else failed you could rely on them for whatever you needed.
Your college uniform, night out or disco outfit – whatever was required you could count on New Look to meet your style needs.”
Clemmie says: “I felt myself growing out of New Look and thought of it as a younger brand that wouldn’t have what I wanted but a quick scroll through their website or look through stores has proved me wrong.
This summer they are serving up some on trend delights from clothing to accessories and of course their comfortable footwear.
Recently they’ve lured in Girls Aloud’s Nadine Coyle for an exclusive Spring Edit plus fashion influencer Georgina Lennon.
They’re providing quality basics, elevated stables and trend lead designs that echo the New Look we all once loved but just a bit more grown up.”

There are warnings that a quarter of all the chain stores could be scrapped – which is around 91 branches.

New Look fans in Ireland were gutted to hear that 26 stores would be shutting in the region with far more remaining at risk of vanishing.

Other stores that have got the axe include one in Porth branch in Rhondda Cynon Taf and two in Gateshead.

The St Austell branch in Cornwall is set to shut on March 4, putting up farewell signs reading: “It’s time to say goodbye.”

Other branches that have already disappeared include the Carillon Court Shopping Centre site, the Wickford branch, and the Bracknell store.

This new plan will put a quarter of New Look branches at risk of closing for good after their lease expires.

Approximately 91 sites will be impacted which will have a knock-on effect to the staff, plunging 8,000 employees into potential job insecurity.

But this isn’t the first time New Look shaken up its portfolio of UK stores, with 600 being scrapped in 2018.

The company has restructured its store estate twice in the past six years, reducing its portfolio from around 600 UK stores in 2018.
