Cecily Clune is an Australian designer brand available globally.

This is a brand for discerning women looking for a luxury designer handbag that’s not carried everywhere or adorned with branded logos.



Inspired by strong, sculptural shapes, rich textures and made-to-wear practicality, each piece is classic, contemporary and distinct. Offering limited collections of original, statement handbags of couture quality without the designer price tag, you no longer need to choose between luxury and cost.



With Cecily Clune, you can truly have it all.

THE STORY

Cecily Clune’s founder, Libby Thomson, drew on the creative roots of her family when she first established the company in 2013. Her maternal grandfather started Austico (The Australian Tie Company) following WWI, while her paternal grandfather was a watercolourist and two-time winner of the Wynne Prize for landscape art.



With such a strong family pedigree, it’s no surprise that Libby became a designer and manufacturer in her own right. Frustrated by not being able to own a beautifully crafted stylish bag at a reasonable price, Libby took matters into her own hands to sate her need for beautiful design, and luxurious details, at an affordable price point.


Cecily Clune was born.

OUR QUALITY PROMISE

Our goal is to create excellence, with a focus on couture quality, considered design and affordable pricing to enchant and excite every customer.

We are confident you will appreciate the quality of our limited-edition collections. However, if you are not happy with your purchase, we offer easy returns and a 12-month warranty against all manufacturing defects. You deserve nothing less.

Fair Pricing

Major luxury brands in our category markup their products 8-10 x the actual cost and sometimes more.   We do things differently.  To make luxury accessible, we've built partnerships with family run manufacturers and sell directly to you.



Our products are handcrafted with the same top materials - sometimes better - and the best quality craftsmanship - just like luxury brands but without the traditional markups.



We rarely discount or hold sales and if we do, these are for registered customers only.
