Celebs including Katie Holmes, Simone Ashley and Olivia Wilde have all been spotted with Dune’s highstreet alternative to the Bottega woven bag – and it’s finally back in stock
If a Bottega Veneta woven shoulder bag has been on your wishlist for sometime but you’ve not quite been able to justify the splurge, then take a leaf out of the celebs’ book and invest in the Dune Deliberate XL Shoulder Bag instead. Much more affordable than the £3670 price tag that comes with the Bottega Hop Bag, the Dune shoulder bag is available for £129 and has already gotten a star studded seal of approval.
It’s been spotted on the shoulder of celebs including Katie Holmes, Simone Ashley and Olivia Wilde, cementing it as the it bag of the season. The original Deliberate Bag was such a hit when it launched that it promptly sold out, but now not only is it back, but it comes in a brand new XL size.

The Dune Deliberate XL Shoulder Bag comes in four different colours and fabrics, including a very on trend brown faux suede, and brown, cream and black faux leather. The XL version also comes with two matching pouches, one woven and one smooth, that are just the right size for storing things like money and makeup neatly.
The oversized tote has a relaxed, slouchy style that makes it versatile enough to take anywhere for any occasion. Whether you want to use it as a carry on travel bag, as a shopper for running errands or to carry your essentials to the office, it’s just the right size for fitting everything in without being too cumbersome.
It fastens with a popper at the top to keep your things safe whilst still being easy to open and access. The Dune Deliberate XL Shoulder Bag has been getting high praise from shoppers, with one saying: “Big beautiful bag! Love it.”
Whilst another agreed: “Beautiful bag with 2 useful pouches that can be used for makeup, keys, money. A Little expensive considering it’s not suede but it’s definitely on trend this season. Comfy on the shoulder and the stud keeps the bag closed when wearing.”
One did mention: “I love the bag and the size. Not sure how long it will last. The weave close to the handle is very loose on one side compared to the other handle. It gets caught in things easily and may come apart.”
However another raved about it, saying: “Great bag. Looks cool lol, holds all and everything and gets you compliments!”
If you’re after a much more budget friendly version, the Brown Suedette Woven Shoulder Bag from River Island is priced at £38, and has a similar faux suede woven design. You can choose from light tan and black colourways, and it has an asymmetric shoulder strap and popper fastening.
