Hindmarch’s nostalgia around the “art of slow communication” began two years ago, when she conceived the Postbox collection. “Letter writing can be a long process, but it is so much more precious,” the accessories designer tells Vogue. “You end up with something to keep – handwriting with little mistakes, spills, annotations and drawings that have so much more spirit.

Next up, Mulberry, one of Kate’s go-to luxury handbag brands. They’re known for their structured silhouettes, elegant designs and impeccable craftsmanship. It’s no surprise Kate has turned to Mulberrry for some of her most iconic handbag moments. Since becoming a member of the British Royal Family, we’ve spotted the Princess carry eleven different styles (and we know she carried one or two Mulberry bags before her marriage to Prince William, but I have not kept a record of those). The Princess debuted two new Mulberry bags during a recent visit to the USA in December-the Amberley satchel in green and the Harlow satchel in blue. She also carries the Amberley Crossbody in two colours ( White and Black), the Mini Seaton in Black, the Bayswater Wallet in three different colours (Conker Suede, Black Suede and Buttercream Suede), the Amberley Clutch in Dark Blush, the Small Darley in Red Croc and the Polly Push Lock in Midnight Blue.

We suspect Kate’s office has a working relationship with the quintessentially British brand. We have spotted her carry designs that differ from those available in the company’s off-the-shelf offering. The same bag in Mulberry’s online store does not, it comes with a crossbody strap instead, suggesting it’s bespoke.įor example, the green Amberley carried by Kate features a small tubular top handle. If you’ve seen Kate carry a coloured clutch in recent years, I can almost guarantee it’s the Natasha style from Emmy London. The simple yet sophisticated design has been a mainstay in Kate’s collection for over a decade now–the Princess owns thirteen, YES thirteen, of the bags. Kate’s carried the Natasha clutch in a rainbow of colours since 2012, from classic black suede to sumptuous cupcake pink.
