Kate Middleton’s handbag game is seriously underrated

When stepping out for fancy occasions during daylight hours, Kate found the found perfect accessory at Australian retailer Forever New.

The Lily Woven clutch has become a firm favourite of the princess, who carried it while attending the Platinum Jubilee’s National Service of Thanksgiving in 2022, and to a Garden Party at Buckingham Palace in 2025.

Both times Kate represented the Commonwealth by pairing it with a soft butter yellow dress from New Zealand-born designer Emilia Wickstead.

The sleek and minimal clutch with straw-style woven outer and top closure is part of the brand’s sustainable line, making it perfect or the conscious shopper like Kate.

An updated version of the clutch is currently on sale for $49.95.

Kate has been reaching for her Anya Hindmarch clutch since 2011.

The princess has carried her Maud black satin clutch on at least 11 public occasions.

With its classically styled frame and chic twist closure with stone embellishments, it is the perfect accompaniment for heading out at night.

However, it is also subtle enough to use during the day, especially if you want to add a little ‘wow factor’ to your look.

It comes in a range of colours and can be made even more special by adding your initials.

With it’s Deep Toffee Smooth colour, Kate’s Nano Montreal bag from Demillier London looks good enough to eat.

The structured petite bag comes with a tubular top handle and a removable crossbody strap.

It is big enough to fit most smart phones and small essentials, like cards.

Kate has carried the toffee version on four occasions and loves it so much, she also bought it in navy.

With its elegant design, this handcrafted wallet from Scottish brand Strathberry is perfect to go from day to night.

Coming with a removable gold chain, it is able to be carried over the shoulder or as a clutch.

It also features eight card slots and a zipped pocket with leather pull.

Kate carried the Multrees Chain Wallet in vanilla at the Order of the Garter ceremony in 2023 and 2025.

She owns at least three versions, having also been seen carrying it in navy and embossed croc black.

Kate has been seen carrying her Tusting Mini Holly Bag in taupe on three occasions, making it a favourite go-to.

The attractive leather bag features curved lines and a fold-over flap that is secured with an elegant turn-lock fitting, making it pleasing to the eye.

With a detachable shoulder strap the Mini Holly can be carried as a cross body bag or clutch style making it very versatile.

The Mosaic Nano Bag takes Strathberry’s beloved best-seller and transforms it into a smaller, more compact size, perfect for modern versatility.

Its soft white shade, paired with gunmetal hardware gives this piece a contemporary, graphic look.

Perfect for spring and summer, it is also a great winter accessory.

Kate used it as part of an all-white outfit for her Together at Christmas carols service in late 2024.

It is currently on sale for $527.

The vintage-looking Midi Mayfair bag from Aspinal of London is as practical as it is stylish.

The boxy design features three inner compartments that are secured with a shield lock clasp.

Kate has carried the Deep Shine Black Croc version of the bag on five public occasions.

A big fan, she also owns it in a pretty pastel Lilac Croc colour.

Like all busy working mums, sometimes Kate just needs something a bit bigger to meet her needs.

The Princess of Wales has proved to be a big fan of Longchamp Le Pliage totes.

Kate has been carrying them around in a variety of colours, sizes, and handle lengths since long before she wed Prince William in 2011.

The large top handle bag in black turned out to be the perfect choice to carry everything she needed while attending the London Olympics in 2012.

She also used it as her carry on bag during her and William’s visit to Australia in 2014.

A hardy bag that is able to be spot cleaned with a damp cloth, it is perfect for everyday use.
