Keeping with the accessories theme, those looking for a bag that\u2019s oh-so-versatile for work and play, Daisy Edgar Jones was recently seen with Dune London<\/a>’s popular Deliberate L bag, styled in a ’90s off-duty look. This best-selling bag, also favoured by Bella Hadid, is a top choice for Spring\/Summer, especially in chocolate brown. The Deliberate XL bag became a social media hit last season, selling out multiple times after being worn by celebrities like Katie Holmes. The Deliberate collection, introduced last year, remains a key style for Dune London, with a bag sold every 15 minutes, now available in various sizes and new colours.<\/p>\n
