What Accessories Can Match with a Silk Dress?
Elevated accessories are key to styling a silk dress. For a touch of refinement, a statement evening bag could be all you need to complete your look. Along with bold colour hats perfect for weddings and events such as Ascot, ensuring you make a statement and elevate your silhouette. Our hand-crafted Belts can also pair perfectly with dresses.
Clutch bags and purses are a compact choice for a subtle yet elegant touch to any outfit. Our Darcey medium leather purse can replace a handbag if you want a smaller yet stylish addition to your day or evening look.

For a classic look that effortlessly transitions from day to evening, consider matching our Filomena silk full skirt shirt dress with our Francine leather chain clutch bag for a summer look that can accompany you to garden parties and events such as the Chelsea flower show alike. This combination would also suit a second or third wedding perfectly, helping you feel effortlessly elegant on your big day.

Which Bags are Suitable for a Silk Dress?
Once you’ve chosen a silk dress to elevate your wardrobe, opting for a designer handbag that matches with your style and serves a practical purpose can serve you throughout the seasons and years. At Jasper Conran London, we have an array of leather handbags perfectly suited and reverently designed to match with your silk dress.
Francine Grab Tote and Chain Clutch
Our Francine collection was made for formal occasions and sophisticated attire, complementing and elevating all evening silk dresses. Our Francine top handle grab bag is perfectly compact, with a poppered front opening and zipped internal compartment for extra storage. Match the black variant of this bag with our Celia silk full skirt shirt dress in black for a classic silhouette. If you would prefer a hands-free option that doesn’t compromise on style, our Francine leather chain clutch bags are available in black, cream and silver to suit your preferences.
Bee Grab Tote
Although larger bags are essential for daytime errands and trips to the office, for evening and occasion silk dresses, smaller bags are the better option, as they can elevate a look whist providing a compact space for your essentials. Our Bee mini grab cross body bag has a detachable strap to suit your style, allowing you to hold your bag close or go hands free. With a bespoke silver clasp and plenty of internal space, the Bee mini cross body bag in red can pair with our Edie silk full skirt shirt dress for a match made in heaven.
Bryn Tote
It isn’t just smaller evening bags that can accentuate the elegance of a silk dress; larger tote bags, in their various colours, could provide the much-needed accessory your wardrobe has been seeking. Our Bryn tote bag is crafted from luxurious leather, making it the ideal material to match with elegant silk fabric. The Bryn tote bag is available in an array of vibrant colours, from zesty yellow to soft blue, perfect for summer.
Dahlia Shopper Tote
Silk dresses can easily transition from day to eveningwear, and don’t have to be reserved for special occasions. You can wear them for family days out or trips to the beach, where they can be effortlessly paired with our Dahlia shopper tote bags. With two fashionable outer pockets, this bag is a contemporary choice for the modern woman; our green Dahlia shopper bag can match with our pink Celia full skirt shirt dress to add a touch of summer to your wardrobe.
Dahlia Three Section Cross Body

Available in black, tan and blue, our Dahlia cross body bag can complement any outfit, casual or formal, with bespoke branded hardware and an adjustable strap that offers a stylish and secure way to carry your essentials.

What Considerations Should I Make Before Choosing a Bag?
When choosing a new designer handbag to match with your silk dress, there are particular decisions you need to make to ensure you get the most out of your new accessory. Designer handbags come in a range of colours, styles and sizes; some are suitable to a particular occasion or formality, whereas others have the versatility to serve you no matter the season.
When considering the colour of your new handbag, think about your preferences as well as when the bag will be used. Neutral tones such as black and tan are ideal for practical handbags that will match with any outfit, whereas brighter coloured bags are best suited for spring and summer, adding a pop of colour to your wardrobe. For instance, our Beatrix leather scoop hobo in black can pair with any silk dress, such as our Celia in black, whereas our Francine top handle grab bag in green can be the ultimate summer accessory.
Evening bags and those reserved for formal occasions are usually smaller, carrying the essentials whilst elevating your look, creating an effortless silhouette. Everyday bags tend to be larger, with plenty of internal space for any items necessary for running errands. Our Darcey leather dome cross body bag is the ideal versatile bag; it is not only a perfect choice for everyday use, but is small enough to complement your occasion wear, with the ability to accompany you to a summer wedding or a day at the races.
Style and occasion are especially important when choosing your next designer handbag. Graduations, the Henley Regatta and Ascot all require a sophisticated, classic look that can be completed with the perfect handbag. At Jasper Conran London, we recommend our Francine collection to augment any formal dress. Our Francine chain clutch bag collection, available in black, silver and cream, is the perfect hands-free choice, with a chain that can be worn on the shoulder or across the body for extra security.

Our Flora A-line dress in green and navy displays a unique print and shorter sleeves, ensuring this dress is perfect for summer strolls in the park or along the beach.
