Kate Middleton's Wimbledon bag hails from her go-to affordable luxury brand

DeMellier is the stylish bag brand seen on the arms of Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Reese Witherspoon and, most famously, the Princess of Wales. Kate Middleton owns not one, but three bags from the London-based label – including the nano Montreal, most recently worn to the Wimbledon men’s final tennis match.

Founded less than a decade ago, the brand is beloved by fashion editors and A-listers. DeMellier’s signature styles aren’t flashy or loud – instead, each design is architectural and minimalist, with understated branding details and elevated finishes.

The embodiment of an aspirational ‘quiet luxury’ aesthetic, the bags are designed in Britain but made in the world-renowned Spanish leather-crafting town of Ubrique. Combining high-quality materials with accessible price points, DeMellier’s popularity has been driven by soaring prices at ultra-luxury houses like Chanel and Louis Vuitton.

The demand for logo-less, timeless designs has never been higher – after all, if these bags are good enough for a royal, they’re good enough for us.

DeMellier’s New York bag is a slouchy, modern tote that can serve as a work bag, while the nano Montreal (Kate’s favourite) is a petite occasion-wear style. The Hudson is another princess-approved style, featuring a top handle and elegant curved silhouette. The Stockholm has likely dominated your Instagram feed – its stylish bowling bag shape and spacious interior are a win-win.

If you’re looking to upgrade your bag this season, here’s where to shop Kate’s collection – plus DeMellier’s new styles for summer 2026.

DeMellier nano Montreal

Before her Wimbledon appearance, Kate last wore the DeMellier Nano Montreal during an Easter Sunday service. In the spring, the bag quickly sold out and went on pre-order – where it has remained available ever since. Right now, you can get the Nano Montreal by the end of July. Characterised by its smooth tan finish and signature gold hardware, it’s the perfect pint-sized bag for special occasions.

DeMellier Hudson small grain bag

Designed to be spacious enough to use day to day, the Hudson is also a style statement. The bag boasts DeMellier’s signature belted strap with gold-plated detailing, while the two leather handles and adjustable crossbody offer versatility when carrying. Available in leather, suede and raffia finishes, each bag is crafted from sustainable Italian leather. The tan smooth-grain finish on this Hudson bag leans into a quiet luxury look with an understated logo.

DeMellier the midi New York

DeMellier’s New York tote is instantly recognisable. Available in countless styles and finishes – from summer-ready raffia to classic black – the suede midi is a timeless choice. Characterised by its angular silhouette, leather top handle and signature gold hardware, the generously sized bag doesn’t fit a laptop – the large New York does – but is spacious enough for daytime essentials.

DeMellier the large Sienna bucket

An elevated bag for work and travel, the Sienna bucket bag is a capacious style that features long shoulder handles and a sleek gold-plated lock. Comfortably fitting a book, makeup bag, bottle and more, the bag is also designed with a cotton-lined zip pocket and two additional pockets for valuables. The smooth tan finish is a chef’s kiss.

DeMellier the Stockholm shoulder

A slightly bolder design, the DeMellier Stockholm shoulder is distinguished by its boxy shape and elegant long shoulder strap. The bag boasts a stylish fine-grain leather finish, an internal zip pocket and cotton fabric lining to keep valuables safe. DeMellier’s signature gold-embossed logo adds the final flourish. Unlike the label’s other bags, the Stockholm shoulder is perfectly suited to evening occasions.
