When it comes to winter dressing, Princess Catherine rarely misses a beat. The 44-year-old’s appearance at the rugby on Saturday for the England vs Ireland clash was yet another reminder of how she blends national pride with impeccable style. Dressed in a rich royal blue ensemble, the Princess of Wales once again championed British fashion, but it was her handbag that really caught our attention.

Princess Catherine has long been a loyal supporter of London-designed DeMellier, regularly turning to the label’s top-handle bags for everything from diplomatic receptions to sporting fixtures. Over the weekend, she carried the navy DeMellier London Nano Montreal, a small, structured top-handle style. While her exact navy version is from a past season, the brand currently offers a tan option for £330.

For those keen to recreate the feel of her look in a similar colour palette, there’s another elegant option worth considering. DeMellier’s Vancouver clutch, available at Mytheresa for £380. This taps into the same refined aesthetic Catherine gravitates towards. Crafted from soft suede with a clean, boxy silhouette, it features a sleek top handle and striking gold hardware that mirrors the understated luxury of the Princess’s own bag.

Like Princess Catherine’s bag, the Vancouver clutch balances structure with softness, delivering the polished finish she’s known for – whether carried neatly in hand or used to elevate a tonal look. The Nano reads as a classic day bag, while the Vancouver feels slightly more evening-ready thanks to its elongated shape and suede texture, making it an effortless day-to-night option. 

We also think this handbag would be perfect for Cheltenham or Mother’s Day gifting.
