Step into style with Dune London Handbags
As autumn rolls in, it’s an exciting time to refresh your wardrobe with accessories that effortlessly bridge the gap between style and functionality. Dune London’s latest handbag collection is a celebration of this transitional season, bringing in rich tones, modern shapes, and versatile designs that any personal stylist in London would recommend. Whether you're heading to a casual brunch, a day at the office, or a night out, these handbags are must-have pieces that elevate your autumn wardrobe.
I was kindly invited by the Dune team in-store to select a bag from their collection. Here's a selection of some of the gorgeous bags that caught my eye.
ALLURING AUTUMN SHADES
Autumn is all about embracing deeper, moodier tones, and Dune London’s collection reflects this beautifully. From rich burgundy and warm chestnuts to classic blacks and opulent emerald greens, the color palette of these handbags complements the earthy hues of the season. The combination of leopard print faux textures, leather, and suede create interesting details to this handbag collection. I love that these bags are versatile enough to match both neutral outfits and bolder prints, making them perfect for any occasion.

Styles to Suit Every Mood
Dune London’s autumn collection offers a variety of handbag styles, each suited for different moments in your life. Here are some of my personal stylist picks and how to style them with your outfits:
1 The Structured Tote: Office
Essential
The structured tote is a timeless classic, and Dune London’s version, crafted in buttery leather with just the right amount of detailing, exudes both elegance and practicality. It’s spacious enough for all your essentials while maintaining a polished look for the office. Pair it with tailored trousers and a crisp blouse for a formal touch, or with a midi dress and ankle boots for a more relaxed yet professional vibe.
The Dune London Dorry bag comes in many colour options. I personally love this colour option as it practically goes with most of my outfits.
The scoop silhouette of the structured dedicated shoulder bag is a practical and stylish shoulder bag that will complement any smart casual looks. I was torn between the two colours, even though burgundy is the colour of the season, I opted for chocolate brown as it is a colour I really wanted in my bag collection. Here's a few outfit ideas on how I will wear this bag.

2. The Crossbody Bag: an everyday Companion
The perfect style to throw on, a crossbody bag is an absolute must. Dune London’s crossbody designs are sleek, compact, and perfect for life on the go. Pair a leather crossbody with high-waisted jeans, an oversized knit sweater, and loafers for a comfortable and stylish everyday look. For a more elevated take, pair it with a flowy midi dress and structured blazer, ideal for autumn city strolls.

3. The Statement Clutch: Night-Out Ready
If you’re looking for something to carry you from dinner to cocktails, Dune London’s statement clutches are the answer. With bold textures, metallic accents, and jewel tones, these bags add a touch of luxury to your eveningwear. Pair a gold-embellished clutch with a sleek black dress and heels for a classic, glamorous look, or go bold by mixing textures like leather trousers and a satin blouse for a fashion-forward outfit.
I absolutely love the sleek design of the Dune London Balancing sophisticated evening clutch bag. It is a statement piece that will complement chic evening looks.

Style Tips from a Personal Stylist
When I work with my personal styling clients, I often tell them that a handbag is more than just a finishing touch—it’s an integral part of your overall look. Here are some key tips to make sure your handbag works seamlessly with your outfit:
Match the Mood, Not Just the Color: While it’s easy to get caught up in matching your handbag color to your outfit, it’s more important to match the vibe. A relaxed, slouchy bag pairs beautifully with casual wear, while a structured, minimalist bag complements more formal, tailored looks.

Proportions Matter: If you’re wearing oversized clothing, opt for a more structured bag to avoid looking too casual. Similarly, if your outfit is sleek and form-fitting, a slouchy or oversized bag can create balance and add a layer of cool, relaxed style.

Mix Textures: Don’t be afraid to experiment with textures. Dune’s suede or patent leather designs pair beautifully with chunky knits, wool coats, or even velvet dresses. It’s about playing with contrast to make your outfits stand out.
