Dolce & Gabbana Bags: Sicily, Grandma, Marlene and the Rest
Dolce & Gabbana Bags: Sicily, Grandma, Marlene and the Rest
Dolce & Gabbana names its bags rather than renumbering them, so the same shapes come back season after season in new leathers, embroideries and prints. That makes the line easy to learn and easy to buy into: once you know what a Sicily is, you know what you are looking at for the next decade.
Luxury Handbags carries 87 Dolce & Gabbana bags from the Fall Winter 2026 collection: 76 handbags and 11 bag charms. The handbags run from USD 1,680 to USD 46,940, with a median of USD 4,790, and the charms start at USD 570. Every one is made in Italy.
The bag lines
| Line | What it is | FW26 price at Luxury Shoes |
|---|---|---|
| Sicily and My Sicily | The house top-handle bag, named for the island Domenico Dolce is from. Trapeze body, rolled leather handle, removable shoulder strap. My Sicily is the softer, slouchier reading of the same shape. | USD 2,570 to 46,940 |
| Grandma | A roomier framed handbag on a wider base, cut in plongé nappa, ostrich and embroidered velvet. | USD 4,790 to 14,310 |
| Marlene | The evening shoulder bag. Small, flat, carried on a fixed metal chain. | USD 3,840 to 6,380 |
| Dolce Box | The hard-cased minaudiere in resin and brass with hand-applied decoration. The most worked piece in any drop. | USD 12,730 to 24,710 |
| Capri coffa | The woven basket bag, built on the Sicilian coffa, in raffia and vegetable fibre with leather trim. | USD 2,090 to 9,550 |
The Sicily bag
The Sicily is the one people mean when they say a Dolce & Gabbana bag. It has a trapeze body, a rolled leather handle, a removable shoulder strap and a structured base that lets it stand on its own. Luxury Handbags carries 31 Sicily and My Sicily pieces from Fall Winter 2026.
The range within one shape is the point. A Mini My Sicily in split leather starts at USD 2,570. The same line in alligator is USD 46,940. The embroidered and appliqued versions sit between the two, and the price tracks the hours of hand work rather than the size.
Sizes run mini, small, medium, large and maxi. Medium is the one that takes a phone, a card holder and keys without looking full.
Reading the dimensions
Dolce & Gabbana gives accessory dimensions as height by width by depth in centimetres, measured on the body of the bag rather than the handle. A height around 16 cm with a width around 20 cm is a day bag. Below roughly 13 cm you are buying an evening size, whatever the house calls it.
Where a shoulder strap is adjustable and removable the house says so on the product page, which matters more than it sounds: a removable strap turns a shoulder bag into a clutch and is the easiest way to carry one bag from a meeting to dinner.
The prints
Four prints carry most of the decoration, and they run across the bags the same season they run across the clothes.
- Majolica: the blue and yellow ceramic tilework of southern Italy, taken from the maiolica pottery tradition of Caltagirone in Sicily.
- Carretto: the painted Sicilian cart, a folk-art form where every panel of a working cart was hand-painted in reds, yellows and greens.
- Leo: the house leopard, the print Dolce & Gabbana has cut longest and returns to most often.
- Rose: the full-blown red and pink rose, usually set on black.
Beyond the bags
The same Fall Winter 2026 drop brings 80 accessories and 22 jewellery pieces to Luxury Shoes . Silk scarves and foulards are the largest group at 31 pieces, followed by 27 wallets and card holders from USD 450, 11 hats, 7 belts, and 11 bag charms. The card holders are the least expensive way to own something made in the house’s own leather workshops.
Care
Leather takes specialist cleaning, never a home treatment. Keep a bag in the dust bag it arrives in, stuff it lightly when it is stored so the base holds its shape, and keep leather and woven fibres away from radiators and direct sun. Take a scratched leather to a specialist rather than working on it yourself.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Dolce & Gabbana Sicily bag?
The Sicily is the house’s long-running top-handle bag, named for the island Domenico Dolce is from. It has a trapeze body, a rolled leather handle and a removable shoulder strap, and it returns every season in new leathers, embroideries and prints rather than being redesigned.
How much is a Dolce & Gabbana bag?
At Luxury Handbags the Fall Winter 2026 handbags run from USD 1,680 to USD 46,940 for an alligator My Sicily, with a median of USD 4,790. A Mini My Sicily in split leather starts at USD 2,570 and the Marlene shoulder bag starts at USD 3,840. Bag charms start at USD 570.
Are Dolce & Gabbana bags made in Italy?
Yes. Every piece Luxury Handbags carries is made in Italy and carries the marking on the bag. The house states the external and the internal materials separately, which is why a listing can name two leathers.
Which Dolce & Gabbana bag should I buy first?
A medium Sicily in plain calfskin if you want the house signature in a shape you will carry for years. A Marlene if you mostly need an evening bag. A card holder from USD 450 if you want the make without the outlay.
What is the difference between the Sicily and the My Sicily?
Same shape, different hand. The Sicily is structured and holds its trapeze line on its own. My Sicily is the softer, slouchier version, cut in a more yielding leather so it settles against the body.
