What type of handbag does Kate Middleton carry?

Kate's handbag taste has clearly evolved over the last ten years.  We've seen her carry a variety of bags to her public appearances.  In the early years of her marriage, she favoured small boxy clutches that held nothing more than a lipstick.  Today, she tends to gravitate towards large clutches and midi-sized bags with top handles. This is something Vogue magazine have noticed too. They wrote that Kate's collection of "ladylike top handle bags has become a true hallmark of her royal style".

Kate's choice of bag is often simple and classic. In fact, you could say her handbags and clutches are a reflection of her style in general: chic, understated and timeless. She tends to opt for practical-sized bags with plenty of room for the necessities. I'd say her bags are easy to wear, often plain in colour with minimal adornment. This allows her to switch them seamlessly between outfits.

It's clear Kate is a devoted fan of British fashion, many of the bags in her collection are by London-based brands (like Aspinal, DeMellier, Tusting, Grace Han etc).

Kate Middleton's Affordable Bag Brands:

You wouldn't expect Kate to be on a budget as she has access to substantial sums of money when planning outfits for royal engagements.  Despite this, she's been known to carry bags from affordable brands, including Hobbs, Reiss and Jaeger. The bags she owns from those brands all cost under £150 ($202).

Does Kate Middleton ever wear crossbody bags?

Yes, she does.  We've seen her wear one crossbody bag with the strap at a polo match in 2019.

She owns quite a few other crossbody styles too.  But we've only seen her carry them during public engagements, with the strap removed.
