Kate Middleton Just Carried This Pretty Strathberry Clutch — and Now Similar Luxe Bags Are on Sale
Originally published at People.com
Whether she’s donning seasonal hues or polished layers, Kate Middleton’s fashion choices are the equivalent of a royal flush. And now we’re eyeing her latest accessory: a Strathberry clutch.
The Princess of Wales carried the Strathberry Multrees Chain Wallet to the Order of the Garter service at Windsor Castle on June 16. Along with the rest of her outfit, which consisted of a crisp white blazer and pleated midi skirt, the bag looked so simple yet elegant. That’s a shared characteristic among Strathberry bags, which Meghan Markle has carried previously, too.
Now’s your chance to replicate their royal style for a (slightly) lower price while Strathberry is having a rare summer sale. I own six of these bags, and though they’re expensive, the quality is impeccable. Middleton’s bag isn’t on sale, but many others are, so grab your own royal-inspired bag while deals last.
Strathberry Bags and Wallets on Sale
Strathberry Melville Street Wallet
This wallet’s slim design prevents you from overstuffing it, with three thin card slots, a money sleeve, and a change pouch (since pennies are kaput, I use it to store safety pins, random retail stamp cards, and the like). It’s made with real leather and handcrafted in Spain, so it won’t tear over time.
Strathberry Cardholder
For those who prefer a barely-there cardholder for nights on the town, this stylish option has five card slots, plus a center sleeve for essentials. The butterfly print adds a whimsical touch. Bonus: It’s 40 percent off, ringing in under $100, which is rare for Strathberry.
Strathberry Midi Tote
I received my first Strathberry bag three years ago, a beige Midi Tote, and like the other five bags I’ve accumulated since, it has held up beautifully. This sleek tote is the ideal carry-all for a poised lady on the go (just ask Meghan Markle, she’s carried it as well). The metal bar closure keeps the bag’s contents secure, with two internal pockets (one zippered, one not) for added organization. It also comes with a crossbody strap.
Strathberry Mosaic Nano Top-Handle Bag
If I’ve used one bag to death, it’s the black version of the Mosaic Nano (though the white is more summery). This petite purse comes with a sleek strap to wear as a crossbody, but I love carrying it by the handle for a more fashion-forward look. It holds just enough — keys, phone, wallet, hand sanitizer, lipstick, and perfume — for an outing, whether accompanying you to a wedding, concert, date night, or friend dinner.
Strathberry Osette Bucket Bag
This playful, cinched handbag comes in warm and cool hues depending on your vibe — I’ve been carrying the vanilla/tan style myself, but this tri-tone style gives you the best of both worlds. The internal pouch is surprisingly spacious, and the drawstring closure secures everything well. Plus, it has a more interesting shape than most bags and is sure to draw some commotion.
Strathberry Stylist Crossbody Bag
One of the bags I own is discontinued, but this crossbody style is a close match. Earning its moniker, the Stylist offers a chic yet understated silhouette that would pair well with casual and dressy outfits alike. This snake and floral print is particularly eye-catching, but it comes in a variety of materials and hues, too. Plus, the chain detaches should you want to carry it like Middleton’s clutch.
Strathberry Multrees Hobo Bag
For those who prefer the look of a shoulder bag, this hobo style sits comfortably with an adjustable strap for customizing the fit (plus, it has a crossbody strap option). Its spacious interior has one internal pocket, and it’s made with a durable leather to ensure years of use. Where the Midi Tote is a lavish daily bag, the Multrees Hobo is its more casual counterpart. Grab it in khaki or more summery tones before this sale ends.
