Need a new bag for autumn? This one from John Lewis is perfect for everything from work days to shopping trips – and it’s currently 50% off.

It can be hard to find a work bag that’s big enough to fit your laptop, makeup bag and other accumulated anonymities, especially if you’re after something casual, affordable and actually cute.

Luckily, we stumbled across an adorable and utterly on-trend padded puffer bag from John Lewis, and we predict it’ll become a staple for many for the new season.

Reduced to clear at just £12.50, the John Lewis ANYDAY Puffy North South Tote Bag in Blue Denim is a best-selling silhouette from the brand, boasting a roomy interior that’s perfect for your work essentials.

Super soft and lightweight, the tote bag offers padded comfort and a special crisp matte finish that’s just perfect for every day, whether you’re slinging it over your shoulder or carrying it in your hand.

In fact, many shoppers have noted the padded straps’ comfort when carrying heavier loads, and others have noted how the padded body helps to keep their belongings safe.

‘I was looking for a reasonably priced bag to use each day to carry my work laptop and notebooks in.’ Wrote one five-star reviewer.

‘I like to keep my handbag separate, so this was perfect as it is sturdy and has a puffy material which means the items are protected.’

Inside you’ll find a slip pocket for storing the bits you want instant access to – like keys and cards, while the roomy main interior is large enough to fit your laptop and everyday essentials with room for an ad-hoc trip to the shops.

So, we can’t say we’re surprised that the on-sale puffer bag has received so many rave reviews from shoppers who call it ‘Smart, Light, Roomy and Useful’ and a ‘Gorgeous Tote Bag’.

‘Delighted with this bag, it is very well made and can carry anything required for any occasion.’ Raved one five-star reviewer. ‘Would happily purchase more in different colours.’

A second added: ‘Needed a new large-ish tote, and this fits the bill. Bigger than I thought it would be, but still comfortable to use.

‘It’s been put through its paces on public transport and appears, so far, to be hard-wearing. A very reasonable price for a good nice-looking bag.’

‘A bottomless bag!’ Wrote a third reviewer. ‘This bag has a huge capacity and can be used for storage as well as carrying. Its soft material also makes it a strangely comforting product.’

Adorable, practical and an absolute steal. We’ll take 20.
