When it comes to everyday elegance, Kate Middleton has a quiet formula, at the heart of which sits beautifully crafted top-handle bags. Whether she’s wearing tailored cigarette trousers, straight-leg denim or one of her refined knit dresses, the Princess of Wales almost always completes the look with a minimal, structured leather accessory carried neatly in hand. Her enduring favourite? Aspinal of London’s Mayfair which is now in the Black Friday sale.

With its full-grain leather finish, sculpted silhouette and signature shield-lock clasp, the Mayfair in midi has long been one of Kate’s most reliable style signatures. She returns to it time and again—most often in classic black or cream—pairing it with everything from vivid, red tailoring to polished blazer dresses and elevated co-ords. The effect is always the same: poised, timeless, unmistakably put-together. And she’s in good company. The Mayfair has also earned favour among the fashion-minded, spotted on Gigi Hadid, J.Lo and Simone Ashley, further cementing its status as a modern icon.
