When the Duchess of Cambridge stepped out for a visit to Kings College in old favourite maternity separates — her powder blue Séraphine Natasha coat [1] (£195) and the floral Florrie dress [2] (£65) she's owned since 2015, when she was pregnant [3] with Princess Charlotte — it was her quilted handbag that caught our eye. The clutch was the darkest element of her outfit, while her suede Jimmy Choo pumps, sapphire earrings, and engagement ring [4] glowed bright blue [5].
Of course, we instantly conjured images of the iconic Chanel 2.55, but Kate's design is actually by Jaeger [6], a UK-based brand that's decidedly more affordable. (And anyway, the duchess already owns one gorgeous Chanel stunner [7] in a burgundy shade with a top handle). Kate's accessory accented her look, and she managed to tuck it away under her arm as she carried an umbrella in the rain. Ahead, you can get a closer look at the satchel and shop a bunch of similar styles that are no brainer must haves [8] for any season of the year.
