Kate and Pippa Middleton Just Made This the New It Bag Brand
While we've been reveling in all of Meghan Markle's recent looks, there's still plenty of room in our royal-loving hearts for Kate Middleton's classic style. She just stepped out for her second appearance after taking a maternity leave, and in signature duchess style, she re-wore an old favorite look: an Emilia Wickstead dress you may recognize from her tour of Poland and Germany.
Aside from her pretty dress, we immediately zeroed in on her beautiful, show-stealing bag. Her Aspinal of London Mini Mayfair ($725) has the makings of being a new It bag thanks to its on-trend pastel color, mini size, and posh top-handle shape. As it happens, Pippa Middleton wore the same bag brand yesterday, so it officially has both sisters' stamp of approval. Scroll down to see how they styled the same brand differently this week and to shop the bags for yourself.
On Kate Middleton: Emilia Wickstead dress; Aspinal of London Mini Mayfair Bag ($725)
On Pippa Middleton: Claudie Pierlot Paisley Print Chiffon Dress ($285); Jimmy Choo Miami Sneakers ($495); Aspinal of London Oversize London Tote ($795)

Erin got her start as aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
