While other royals have famously favoured luxury designer handbags – from Queen Elizabeth’s cherished Launer traviata bag or Princess Diana’s Lady Dior bag – Kate Middleton likes to wear a variety of brands, some of which are surprisingly affordable.
Ever since The Princess of Wales came into the public eye, her clothing and bag choice has shaped conversations about fashion. Named the “Kate” effect, once she wears something, it’s bound to sell out. Take the Longchamp le pilage for example, a sell-out bag the royal was first snapped wearing on the University of St Andrew campus in 2003.
