Dunhill’s Lock Bag became an instant must-have from its debut at their autumn-winter 2020 runway show in Paris. This year, the heritage luxury British brand is celebrating their new house icon in a photo shoot that features their newest accessory at landmarks and neighbourhoods all over London.
This photo series, captured by photographer Chris Rhodes, is part of creative director Mark Weston’s approach to modernising the brand’s identity. The Lock Bag itself is a modern interpretation of the classic British attaché cases from its archive, which goes back nearly 130 years. It is classic elegance meets practicality, with a dose of subversiveness.
The Dunhill Lock Bag has a slim and solid frame with a nylon-padded interior and polished brass lock – also inspired by a trip into the archives. At launch, it came in three calf leather options (black, ink and oxblood), and two limited options inspired by the iconic Rollagas lighters and 1970s packaging: AD brass and AD silver.
The photo series shows a new version for SS21: a white version from responsibly-sourced eel skin leather with silver-finished hardware. dunhill hopes to further showcase its idea of a contemporary Britain changing with the times, by visualising it against the background of contemporary London, with its diverse culture, history and architecture.
