Most of what we carry from Dune London is shoes, but for a Christmas present I would buy the bag. You do not need her shoe size and nobody has to pretend the heel height is fine. Bags are also the only Dune accessories in our catalogue, so that is what this edit covers: about 120 of them, from around £32 to £189. Those prices are from 3 November and can change, so check them before you buy.
Dune London bags up to £60
This is the bracket to shop first, because a Dune bag at this price still looks like a generous present. The green suede Dinkydiscreet cross-body is £59 and it is my favourite here. The Dashwood shoulder bag is £52, and the Drive at £44 is the cheapest cross-body in the range.

Dune London clutch bags for Christmas parties
Dune does sparkle properly, and a clutch is an easy gift for anyone with a party diary. The Bellini at £53 and the ruched gold Ebecci at £59 are the ones to beat. The crystal-covered Elida is £129, and I would only buy it for someone who goes out a lot. At that price it should not spend eleven months in a drawer.
Everyday Dune London bags she will carry after December
Brown suede is the buy if she already owns enough black. The Decades is £75 and the Delightfully is £76, and both are a softer gift than another structured work bag. If it has to be black, the Dellaware at £65 is a sensible price and the Deserving L at £189 is the top end. That one is a big, serious bag for someone who carries a lot. Cross-body bags start lower and suit anyone who wants her hands free.
How to choose a Dune London bag for someone else
Look at what she carries now
If she lives out of one small bag, a large shoulder bag will sit on a hook. Match the size she already uses and change the colour instead.
Pick a clutch only if she goes out
It is a lovely present for someone with plans, and an expensive ornament for someone without them.
Choose suede with care
It looks expensive and it marks in the rain. For a bag that has to survive a commute, go for smooth black or brown.
