The Queen was revered for her brilliantly bright outfits, from lime green two-piece suits to lemon yellow polka dot dresses. Her Majesty believed that she had to be 'seen to be believed', choosing to offset her colourful wardrobe staples with an accessory that she was practically never seen without: her beloved handbag.
Designed by West-Midlands based company Launer London for more than 50 years, the late monarch's signature bag boasted a classic boxy style with short handles. Nearly always in black, her purses were small enough to remain practical while shaking the hands of world leaders - but large enough for the monarch's necessities.
