Never one to shy away from re-wearing her favourite closet pieces, the Princess of Wales has been spotted wearing this ‘classy’ clutch bag on several occasions – including Royal Ascot
Whether she’s in a breath-taking gown for evening events, or donning sportswear on off-duty days, Kate Middleton always looks incredible. The Princess of Wales happens to be a champion of re-wearing wardrobe pieces – and over the years, she has been seen on a number of occasions carrying an elegant accessory from British designer Emmy London.
The Natasha Clutch Bag, £395, will match with several outfits, as proved by the stylish royal. In 2022, Kate wore it in the tan hue at Royal Ascot with a white and brown polka-dot dress by Alessandra Rich – which looks incredibly similar to this Hobbs midi number from M&S, £141 (was £189). The mum-of-three completed her race-day look with Emmy London’s £495 Rebecca court heels.
Kate was even seen carrying the cobalt-blue version of the evening bag on Easter Sunday in 2023. She reportedly also owns it in pink, red, black, and other shades of blue. If you want to snap up the clutch for yourself, it can be purchased at emmylondon.com.
While £395 is an investment, the clutch bag loved by Princess Kate gives you the same premium, chic aesthetic as other high-end brands with heftier price tags. The handcrafted item is made from luxurious suede and opens to reveal a zip pocket. It has a flap front that fastens with a magnetic popper.
The affordable designer bag has a surprisingly spacious interior for storing essential items, such as your phone, lip balm and important cards, plus it comes with a detachable chain strap. With summer underway, there couldn’t be a better time to get the royal look with Kate’s go-to carryall.

On the Emmy London website, many shoppers have taken to the reviews section to share their thoughts. One said: “Just to touch the bag is a dream. The suede and the leather are so soft and delicate. The bag is subtle elegance and I love it.” A second delighted customer chimed in, adding: “It is a very classy bag with such a beautiful deep wine colour!”
A third penned: “Elegant, understated, I love it. I’ve been looking for the perfect evening bag for several years. This is it.” However, someone else found the strap a bit on the small side. They said: “I’m very pleased with the quality, price and design of the bag, except I would like a longer strap. Is this possible? Thank you.”
