Kate Middleton owns the Mulberry Amberley Clutch in Dark Blush.
The Duchess has carried the small brown-pink clutch bag on four public occasions to date. We first spotted her holding it at London’s Imperial War Museum in 2018 (pictured below).
About the Mulberry Amberley clutch:
The Amberley Clutch is a small rectangular bag that features a front flap, finished with Mulberry’s signature Rider’s Lock. The interior of the bag is suede-lined. You’ll find one large compartment with six credit card slots inside. There’s also a small zipped compartment for loose change or your phone. A further flat pocket can be found at the front of the bag.
The bag comes with a shoulder chain, which Kate has removed.
The dark blush pink clutch bag is finished with gold metallic hardware and the company’s logo printed on the front closing flap.
From the Amberley Collection:
The clutch is from Mulberry’s Amberley collection, first introduced at the Autumn Winter ’17 London Fashion Week. Each bag in the Amberley collection features the brand’s distinctive equestrian-inspired ‘Rider’s Lock’ closure:
Named after the much-loved British countryside pursuit and equestrian attire and attitudes that inspired Mulberry founder Roger Saul, the Rider’s Lock embodies the distinctive idea of ‘Le Style Anglais’ established by the brand in the 1970s. A tradition, reinvented.

Exploring that heritage with a new perspective, Mulberry Creative Director Johnny Coca took inspiration from the rounded lines of the Postman’s Lock and found beauty in the existing forms of this original hardware. By inverting them, he designed the slender, clean and functional lines of the Rider’s Lock, reminiscent of a horse bit and bridle.
The Amberley collection features bags in a range of different sizes and colours. Kate owns two top-handled bags from the collection, one in white and one in black:
Buying Kate’s Amberley clutch:
