17 Dragon Diffusion Dupes If You Love The Woven Bag Trend

There is no denying the woven bag trend is everywhere right now. And while the look is super popular with many of our favourite Instagram stars, despite its admiration, there’s still something about it that feels cool, pared-back, and low-key. If the OG Dragon Diffusion style that spearheaded the trend is out of reach, worry not. We’ve scoured the Internet to find plenty of stunning alternatives that will seamlessly complement everything from your prettiest floral dresses to your go-to cute blouses and denim shorts. Keep scrolling to discover our top picks…
The Rixo X Dragon Diffusion bag collection is undeniably at the top of our wish list, even though it’s currently sold out. But don’t worry. If you’re still dreaming of having one of these beautiful bags snuggled in the crook of your arm, you’re in luck: the brand has made them available for pre-order, with availability expected around October. Given their timeless appeal and vintage feel, we’re confident this designer bag is an investment that will truly stand the test of time.
If waiting isn’t an option, or if your budget needs a bit more stretch, there are plenty of other woven styles that offer a similar vibe. From charming burgundy basket shapes to chic milky white totes and versatile chocolate brown designs that go with everything, there are plenty of options.
We’re confident this bag is an investment that will truly stand the test of time.
We love Zara’s elongated tote design, available in both cream and dark brown, which features a cool, modern structure that pairs well with fluid tailoring – it might just be a new contender for your favourite work bag. Or, for something small, sweet and crying for a European beach holiday, Massimo Dutti’s woven nappa top-handle bag looks seriously more expensive than something from the high street. We’ll be styling it with minimalist summer looks and sleek, slicked-back hair.
And for an absolute steal loved by The Handbook editors, head over to Etsy. You’ll find a treasure trove of handmade, artisanal leather pieces from independent sellers, often for under £150, offering unique, one-of-a-kind finds.
