The Princess of Wales has built an enviable handbag collection, with standout pieces from sought-after brands, such as Strathberry and Chanel.
Many of her favourites come in mini sizes – perfectly proportioned for carrying the essentials during public engagements.
The trend for smaller bags has been going strong for years, ever since French label Jacquemus introduced the iconic Le Chiquito.
While Kate’s choices aren’t quite as tiny (that particular style famously only fits a lipstick and keys), they are certainly sleek and compact.
These petite designs transition seamlessly from the office to evening drinks or social gatherings, making them true investment pieces that transcend seasons.
Explore Kate’s exact bags, available to buy, below.
Strathberry Mosaic Nano in Vanilla
From the Edinburgh-based label Strathberry, the Mosaic Nano Bag is a compact design made for modern versatility.
Expertly crafted from supple leather, it showcases sleek lines, a structured top handle and detachable shoulder strap.
Kate owns the Vanilla shade, which she notably carried to the Together at Christmas carol concert in 2023.
DeMellier The Nano Montreal in Deep Toffee
The Nano Montreal from DeMellier is a chic, structured crossbody bag.
Designed with a removable, adjustable strap and a refined top handle, it can be styled multiple ways to suit any occasion.
Compact yet practical, its proportions allow room for most phones, along with everyday essentials like keys and passes.
Kate has chosen this bag for numerous engagements, most recently the Service of Thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day.
Aspinal of London Midi Mayfair in Deep Shine Black Croc
Aspinal of London’s iconic Midi Mayfair is a timeless, vintage-inspired design that adds instant polish to any look.
A favourite of Kate’s – seen in the sleek black croc finish during engagements at home and abroad – this compact top-handle bag is both functional and stylish.
Handcrafted from full-grain leather, it showcases the brand’s signature shield lock, a detachable strap and thoughtfully designed interior compartments.
Tusting Mini Holly Bag in Taupe
Tusting’s Mini Holly Bag is a day-to-night companion with a graceful 1950s-inspired silhouette.
Defined by its curvaceous lines, th e foldover flap with a turn-lock closure keeps belongings secure, while a detachable shoulder strap adds flexibility to carry it by hand or across the body.
Deceptively spacious thanks to its flared shape and hidden side snaps, the Mini Holly combines elegance with functionality – qualities that likely appealed to Kate, who carried hers during a visit to Nottingham Trent University in 2023.
Mulberry Small Amberley Small Crossbody Bag in White
Kate is a longtime fan of Mulberry’s Small Amberley Crossbody Bag, with several shades in her collection.
Among the most worn is her chic all-white version, spotted on repeat – most memorably at Wimbledon 2023.
Although stock has become increasingly limited, we’ve managed to track down one available at John Lewis.
Crafted from luxurious leather and finished with Mulberry’s signature rider’s lock for a touch of equestrian heritage, it’s a true wardrobe investment.
Grace Han Love Letter Small Bag in Black
Inspired by the classic British envelope, Grace Han’s Love Letter Bag has become one of Kate’s most-repeated accessories.
Elegant yet versatile, it transitions effortlessly from daytime engagements to evening events with its structured silhouette, top handle and detachable shoulder strap.
Kate has carried the piece on countless occasions, most recently at the St Patrick’s Day Parade in March, cementing its status as a wardrobe staple.
