We’ve all become accustomed to photographs of celebrities toting the latest designer bag. Whether they’re ambassadors for the brand or friends with the creative director, it’s an easy way for them to align with a specific fashion house – think Margot Robbie carrying her Chanel styles or Daisy Edgar-Jones with her Chloé Paddington.
Interestingly, there is one bag that many famous women have been carrying of late that isn’t from a fashion house at all. Bella Hadid, Lily Allen, Rose Byrne, Aubrey Plaza, Simone Ashley and Katie Holmes have all been photographed with a woven bag that is, in fact, from a British high-street brand – even Edgar-Jones put down her Paddington in favour of this affordable tote.

Dune’s ‘Deliberate L’ bag is available in 10 different colours, including black, brown, sage green, red, pink and various metallic shades. With its soft structure and a range of sizes available, from dinky to XL, it’s a practical bag that offers both a long and shorter shoulder strap. The woven finish also makes it look a lot more expensive than it is, and it manages to feel both effortless and polished, which is no mean feat.

At £149 for the largest size, it’s considerably more affordable than the majority of bags we see slung on famous shoulders; Dune says that, as a result, it’s now selling one of these totes every 15 minutes. This figure may even have increased in recent days, given that the bags are on sale: the extra-large cream version is now just £74.
