Kate Middleton carries the Anya Hindmarch Maud clutch in black satin. It was her go-to black bag for evening receptions and events between 2011 and 2015.
About Kate’s Anya Hindmarch clutch:
Kate’s Maud clutch is made from soft satin silk and closes with a sparkling gemstone clasp. It is monogrammed with a “C” for Catherine.
Anya Hindmarch’s tiny gold bow logo is also visible at the bottom of Kate’s clutch.
Buying the Anya Hindmarch Maud clutch:
Want to add this sleek clutch to your own evening bag collection? You’re in luck. Fast forward more than a decade and the iconic bag is still available to buy.
In fact, Anya Hindmarch offers two version of the Maud today: off-the-shelf and bespoke.
The off-the-shelf version is a roomier size than Kate’s bag, and comes with either a pearl clasp, or a gold tassel clasp closure.
There are also some seasonal designs and limited edition fabrics available, such as gold mesh and natural raffia.
The bespoke Maud comes in two sizes, classic with the gemstone clasp as carried by Kate, or the roomier version with the pearl/tassel closure shown above.
With the bespoke version of the Maud clutch, you get to personalise every last inch of the bag. You choose the style, fabric, frame and personalisation details you would like – from embroidered monograms to a hidden embossed message.
Fun fact: Kate owns the Maud clutch in ivory with the pearl clasp too.

Kate’s carried four Anya Hindmarch clutch bags during her time in the Royal Family, to the best of my knowledge.
