FAQs
What material is the Dune London Direction Shoulder Bag made from?
The bag is crafted from high-quality suede, with gold-tone metal hardware for the chain links and other accents.
How do I best clean and maintain the suede material?
To clean and maintain the suede, use a specialized suede brush for daily care. Apply a suede protector spray before first use and periodically. For stains, use a suede eraser or a designated suede cleaner, always spot-testing first. Avoid exposure to water and excessive moisture.
What items can I typically fit inside this bag?
The bag's angular, sculpted design is compact and ideal for essentials. You can typically fit a smartphone, a small wallet, keys, and a few small cosmetic items. It is not designed for carrying larger items like tablets or bulky wallets.
Is the chain handle detachable?
The part-chain handle is fixed to the bag with ringlets. However, the additional shoulder strap is detachable and adjustable, allowing you to wear the bag cross-body or on the shoulder without the chain handle.
Is the shoulder strap adjustable?
Yes, the additional shoulder strap is fully adjustable, allowing you to customize its length for comfortable shoulder or cross-body wear.
Is this bag suitable for all seasons?
Due to its suede material, the bag is best suited for dry conditions. While it can be worn year-round, extra care should be taken to protect it from rain, snow, and high humidity, which can damage suede.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted.
Gently brush the suede with a specialized suede brush. This will lift the nap, restore its texture, and remove superficial dirt, bringing back its original vibrancy. Brush in one direction.
Strap feels uncomfortable or slips off the shoulder.
If using the detachable strap, ensure it's adjusted to an appropriate length for your body. For shoulder carry with the chain handle, position the bag higher under the arm for a more secure and comfortable fit. The chain is designed to be part of the handle and comfortable for underarm wear.
Zipper feels stiff or is difficult to close.
Carefully rub a graphite pencil or a wax-based lubricant (like a candle) along the zipper teeth. Open and close the zipper a few times to distribute the lubricant evenly. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Bag has a minor scuff or mark.
For light scuffs, try using a suede eraser (often looks like a rubber block). Gently rub the eraser over the scuff in small, circular motions, then brush with a suede brush. For deeper marks, consult a professional suede cleaner.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Chic, Modern Design: The angular sculpted silhouette offers a distinctive and contemporary look.
- Versatile Wear: Easily transitions from shoulder bag to cross-body with the detachable strap, adapting to various occasions.
- Comfortable Fit: Specifically designed to sit comfortably under the arm for effortless carrying.
- Premium Materials: High-quality suede and elegant gold-tone hardware enhance its luxurious feel.

Cons
- Suede Care Required: The suede material demands careful maintenance and protection from moisture and stains.
- Limited Capacity: The sculpted design prioritizes style over maximizing internal space, suitable for essentials only.
- Chain Weight: The part-chain handle may add a slight additional weight compared to an all-leather strap.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Attaching the Detachable Strap: Locate the small metal clasps on each end of the adjustable shoulder strap. Clip these clasps securely onto the ringlets located on either side of the bag, adjacent to the fixed chain handle. Ensure both clasps are fully closed.
- Detaching the Strap: To convert back to a shoulder bag, simply unclip the metal clasps from the ringlets.
Compatibility
- Style Versatility: This bag's sophisticated design, combining suede and gold-tone hardware, makes it highly compatible with a range of outfits. It pairs beautifully with smart-casual attire, tailored separates, dresses, and evening wear. The brown color offers a classic and earthy tone that complements neutral palettes as well as richer hues.
Care
- Suede Protection: Before first use, and periodically thereafter, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to guard against water and stains. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Cleaning: For light surface dirt or scuffs, gently brush the suede in one direction using a specialized suede brush. For more stubborn stains, use a suede eraser or a suede-specific cleaning solution, following the product's instructions carefully.
- Avoid Moisture: Keep the bag away from rain, spills, and humid environments. If it gets wet, blot gently with a clean, dry cloth and allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Storage: When not in use, store the bag in its dust bag (if provided) in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging it by the handle for extended periods to prevent stress on the material. Stuff the bag lightly with tissue paper to help maintain its shape.
