Update your handbag collection with a stylish on-trend accessory
Burgundy is predicted to be the ‘it’ colour of the season. You can pick up lots of clothing and accessories in the rich shade including jackets, boots, and cosy knits. One way to buy into the trend without committing to a full monotone look is to invest in a new bag.
Woven bags have been all the trend this year, and this burgundy woven handbag from Dune ticks all the right boxes. The bag has gold hardware, a shoulder strap and an insert wallet for easy storage and organisation.
Priced at £110, it is also available in black, metallic and brown – it also came in a cream colourway but this option has sold out. Over in the reviews, one customer wrote: “Bought this bag as a birthday treat to myself after seeing it on a trip to Belfast. When my 20% birthday treat came through I knew I had to have it. I’m in love with it.”
A second added: “Beautiful bag. Definitely a statement piece. Well made and an excellent finish.” A third commented: “Lovely bag, great shape and colour. Very pleased with my purchase.”

Not all shoppers were happy, with one saying they were unhappy with the quality: “Very dissatisfied with the quality.” Another said it is smaller in real life, writing: “The bag looks bigger on the website pictures. Actual size smaller than I need.”
Dune also has a matching pair of court shoes that perfectly complement the woven bag. The Pointed Toe Slingback Shoes are £90.
If you like the woven style bag but would prefer a more wearable colour, this black version from River Island is £42. The textured tote has a knot-style detail on the strap and gold hardware.
