We were so busy obsessing over the cow-print heels Meghan Markle wore [1] for her last outing, we almost didn't notice another swoon-worthy outfit detail: her purse. While visiting Smart Works [2], a London-based charity organisation and one of Meghan's four recently announced patronages [3], the Duchess of Sussex carried a black leather Victoria Beckham [4] handbag with a gold buckle and top handle. Though the bag looks simple enough to the naked eye, it's actually quite the contrary.
Hidden inside the bag's upper flap is a handy-dandy rectangular mirror — perfect for those dire moments when you need to discreetly remove post-lunch remains from your teeth before facing the paparazzi. Seriously, why don't more purses have mirrors hidden in them? Sometimes the front-facing iPhone camera just doesn't cut it.
Unfortunately, Meghan's exact Victoria Beckham handbag is currently sold out everywhere, but never fear — we tracked down a few similar styles, which you can conveniently shop below.
