Shopping Writer Meghan bought this Dune tote bag for her mum and now she uses it every day as her go-to work bag – Meghan says ‘her laptop, folders, fileofax and so much more fit perfectly’
I bought Mum a new handbag from Dune London for her birthday, and she’s used it every day since. Though I thought it would be slightly too small to use as a work bag, as it was smaller than previous bags she used for carrying her laptop, iPad, fileofax, and folders, she was pleasantly surprised to find that she could fit everything she’d need for work into it with ease, and now she uses it every day.
The Dorry Tote Bag from Dune London boasts a classic silhouette and understated design that makes it look chic and expensive, without the hefty price tag. Featuring handles and a crossbody strap for ease of carrying, this bag has definitely won pride of place in my mum’s (extensive) handbag collection as the one that looks the best, without sacrificing practicality.

My mum’s go-to work bag has three inner compartments, ideal for keeping belongings organised. Its large size and space make it a great companion for carrying tablets, books, and up to 13-inch laptops, as it boasts dimensions of H: 25cm x W: 35cm x D: 15cm. My mum easily carries binders, notebooks, her MacBook, glasses cases, keys, her filofax, pencil case and more, with room left over for easily fitting a cardigan or jumper, when the temperatures get warmer.
For that elevated touch of class on the traditional style, this beauty boasts gold-branded hardware that is understated but, nonetheless eye-catching.
