Chanel Classic Flap Bag in Burgundy Quilted Leather with Enamel Handle

Kate Middleton owns a burgundy Chanel bag with an ornamental enamel and brass handle.

According to this website, the quilted bag is from Chanel’s Fall-Winter 2015 Collection. The blog calls it the Chanel Art Nouvelle Small Flap Bag in Burgundy (style code A93076). A closer look:

To date, we’ve seen the Princess carry the bag on seven occasions in public. Including during a trip to Paris in 2017 (pictured below).

She carried it in January 2018, for Sunday service at the church of St Mary Magdalene on the Queen’s Sandringham Estate in Norfolk (not pictured).

She brought it back later in the year for a visit to the Natural History Museum (below). The Princess styled the bag with a green and burgundy outfit.

She also took it with her to Stockholm, Sweden, in 2018, styling the bag with a red and white checked coat:

She carried it in December 2024 to welcome to Emir of Qatar and his wife to the UK on a state visit. Again, the Princess paired the bag with a tonal burgundy outfit:

She brought the bag back recently for the US State Visit, wearing a burgundy coatdress, matching hat and brown heels (September 2025).

I doubt this is the last we’ve seen of the bag—I imagine she will carry it again.

About Kate’s Burgundy Chanel Bag:

The burgundy bag features Chanel’s signature quilted leather design, a top handle made from enamel and brass, and it is finished with the brand’s iconic interlocking CC logo in gold hardware.

It’s made from calfskin leather.

According to LoveThatBag.ca, the Chanel bag retailed for $6,225 in 2015.  As that’s a Canadian site, I’ll assume the price is in Canadian Dollars.  In US Dollars, that’s around $4,664 and in GBP that’s around £3,762.

It’s no coincidence that Kate carried a Chanel handbag during her official visit to Paris. Chanel is one of France’s most iconic design houses. On the same day, Kate also wore a Chanel coat dress.
