The Duchess of Cambridge (Kate Middleton) visited Nottingham in June 2012 holding a navy blue quilted clutch bag. She’s carried the piece at least five times since; most recently during a visit to School 21 in London (March 2021). It’s the aptly named ‘Kate’ clutch by British brand Jaeger.





About the Jaeger Kate bag:
The Kate bag is made from quilted leather and features a gold metal chain strap and gold branded hardware. Kate tucks in the strap and carries it as a clutch. She owns the piece in navy blue but it also came in tan. Fun fact: Kate’s mother Carole and sister Pippa own the bag in tan.
Buying the bag:
Sadly, the bag is no longer available to purchase from Jaeger, as you may expect (Kate first carried it 9 years ago!) But it does pop up on eBay from time-to-time.
Kate Middleton and Jaeger:
In addition to the quilted blue clutch, Kate owns a handful of other pieces from Jaeger: an elegant white shift dress, a sunny yellow shirt dress, a blue printed silk dress and a crisp white linen blouse.
