It is priced at €25 and comes in burgundy.
The retailer said: “This oversized Savida bag showcases an on-trend braided design and comes with a fixed handle for effortless carrying.
“It features a spacious main compartment along with two inner pockets.
“Savida is available exclusively at Dunnes Stores.”
The Bottega Veneta Jodie Teen mini knotted intrecciato leather tote is priced at €3,091.
Its description reads: “The intrecciato weave remains one of Bottega Veneta’s longest-standing house codes – it’s refined, elegant and instantly recognizable.
“Made in Italy, this ‘Jodie Teen’ tote is meticulously assembled from strips of supple leather and has a softly rounded shape.
“The top handle is knotted at one side, and there’s enough space inside for your wallet, keys and phone.”
Meanwhile, fashion fans are also scrambling to get their hands on some new bow tops that have dropped in Dunnes Stores – and there are two styles to choose from.
Jane, who posts under @jane.gleeson, has sent people into a frenzy over her new bow finds.
The Gallery Stella Tie Front Cardigan has landed in stores nationwide and is also available online.
The cute cardigan has a ribbed finish and a round neckline.
All eyes will turn to the adjustable bows that tie in the centre.
Retailing at a bargain €25, the knit Gallery cardigan comes in sizes XS to XL.
Shoppers can choose from a neutral ivory or pastel yellow.
The TikToker also picked up the Savida City Girl Bow Tie Blouse in a gorgeous white.

Dunnes Stores bosses said the top goes perfectly with jeans.
They said: “This cotton blouse from Savida has a soft, feminine look with an oversized ruffled collar and three bow ties at the front.
“A stylish piece that can be worn with your favourite denim jeans. Savida is available exclusively at Dunnes Stores.”
The striking blouse, costing €30, is available in sizes XXS to XXL.
People took to the comments to gush over her pretty bow finds.
One fan said: “Immediately purchased that cardigan.”

One person said: “Dunnes is such a vibe.”
Another said: “I have been influenced.”
While another said: “Omg!! The yellow is so stunning it makes me want to be brunette so I can pull off yellow.”
DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 - and it was an instant hit.
Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland’s first ‘shopping frenzy’.
During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne’s ‘Better Value’ bargains.
Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 – starting with apples and oranges.
The retailer said: “Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town.
“Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong.
“Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas.”
The retailer’s first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960.
They added: “In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed.
“Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England.”
Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.

I TRAVELLED halfway across the world but immediately felt at home when I checked into my hotel in Singapore.
I’d booked The Robertson House for a visit to see an old school pal who moved to the country with his wife and daughter.
It’s named after a prominent historical figure from the country’s colonial past — who also lends his name to the nearby Robertson Quay, a recurring theme throughout the area.
I knew I’d made the right choice the moment I crossed the threshold of this gorgeous hotel.
The lobby is stunning, made up of elegant marble, with fabulous floral displays and wafting aromatic scents.
The good vibes continued in my deluxe room which had everything I needed — a fantastic shower, a state-of-the-art TV and entertainment system and, most importantly, a huge double bed to collapse into after a day’s sightseeing in the heat.
The room also gave me access to the exclusive Club Lounge on the tenth floor — known as the 1823 Reading Room, a homage to Victorian-era libraries.
Here there’s a real sense of the old and new. Its walls are adorned with historic maps and there’s dark wood furnishings, while the windows offer spectacular views across the Singapore skyline.
Unlike your usual hotel bar, the room is designed to be a relaxing hideaway for guests to enjoy a read of one of the many vintage books available to browse while enjoying a drink.
I ate breakfast here every morning with a traditional buffet of British-style or continental options to choose from, but the hotel also has the highly-rated Entrepot restaurant on the ground floor.
And a major bonus was the outdoor swimming pool, which is just the tonic after a day pounding the pavements in the baking heat.
Opened in 2023, the design of the hotel was inspired by how the real Robertson’s house would have looked and this meeting of the old and the new is everywhere you look in Singapore — streets and areas named after British colonial figures, with the skyscraper offices of global banking giants looming over head.
Probably most famous of the lot is Raffles Hotel, where the Singapore Sling was invented.
I joined in the tradition of sipping on the iconic drink and dropping my monkey nut shells on the floor — once I’d mustered up the courage.
Robertson House has another major attraction, it’s just a few minutes walk away from Clarke Quay and Boat Quay, two bustling destinations for food and drink.
Bars and restaurants line the river and inside the canopied Clarke Quay offers a range of bars and food — from seafood, Korean barbecue, to more traditional Chinese grub.
Although drinks can be on the pricier side, there is an array of Happy Hour deals, which seem to last most of the day in some places!
In the other direction from the hotel is the National Museum of Singapore, which is well worth a visit to learn about the country’s incredible history.
GETTING THERE: Singapore Airlines flies from Manchester direct with fares from £610pp or from Heathrow from £580pp. See singaporeair.com/en
STAYING THERE: A stay at The Robertson House, part of The Ascott’s Crest Collection of Hotels starts from approx. £113 a night for a queen deluxe room for two guests. https://www.discoverasr.com/
If walking isn’t your thing then Singapore’s metro system will connect you to almost anywhere you would want to go with ease.
The mesmerising indoor forests at Gardens By The Bay, Sentosa Island — where there is a host of attractions including Universal Studios — is a must see and is on the MRT subway network.
We also visited Chinatown — where Lunar New Year was being celebrated — and Little India to experience the different cultures that make up this incredible island.
Inevitably I had to make that return trip to the airport to fly halfway back across the world in the other direction — but I took a little bit of Singapore home with me.
