Kate Middleton has an impressive collection of designer handbags, all with rather hefty price tags to match their high-end brand names - but there's plenty of similar dupes for Kate's handbags out there.
- Kate Middleton's dress collection, her Longchamp handbag and her go-to espadrilles are just a few of the many items in the Princess of Wales' wardrobe that leave royal fans heart eyed.
- In fact, her designer handbag collection would leave any purse lover majorly envious, but there's some affordable dupes available.
- In other royal news, Princess Eugenie took pregnancy style tips from Kate Middleton in a houndstooth coat and knee-high boots.
From Kate Middleton's make-up and skincare collection to the contents of her incredible closet, the Princess of Wales pretty much has anything she could need when it comes to helping her look incredible - and that goes for accessories too.
While we know Kate loves a super chic pair of heels and ultra affordable jewelry (we're thinking about those Zara earrings she wore at the BAFTAs), the princess regularly steps out with a timeless designer handbag too.
While the likes of Kate Middleton's Mulberrys and Aspinals would be dream additions to our handbag families, there are some affordable dupes that mean we can take inspiration from her pricey purse stash, without having to splash out so much.
Kate has been photographed several times with a Mulberry Amberley Satchel in both the newer design and older designs and has the bag in a range of colors, including black croc print and fresh white.
Kate is the proud owner of an older white Amberley and is often photographed using the purse for summer events, including Wimbledon.
Ted Baker's Brittni Leather Quilted Envelope Bag provides a similar, chic style to Kate's white Mulberry, but for hundreds less and is even discounted right now.
Kate Middleton is known to have been a fan of the classic Lonchamp bag for decades, with Princess of Wales having been photographed with the French off-duty purse on her shoulder while out shopping with Carole Middleton years before she even married Prince William.
While a Medium Le Pliage Nylon Shoulder Tote from Longchamp is priced at around $140, there are plenty of similar designs available for sub-$50 prices.
The Ariel-gxr Women's Tote Bag from Amazon costs just $15, is available in both navy blue and black and features the same water-resistant nylon design as Kate's Longchamp, with lookalike strap and closure details.
Kate is also a lover of the Midi Mayfair Bag by British label, Aspinal of London.
The timeless handbag is made of full-grain leather and features unmistakable gold hardware, with Princess Catherine's black patent croc design available to ship to the US from the official Aspinal website for $780.
Kate is usually seen holding the piece by the small upper handle, rather than using the detachable chain strap and teamed the Midi Mayfair with a striking red blazer when she stepped out in Copenhagen in February 2022.
The Thingimijigs Ladies Mock Croc Cross-Body Grab Handle Handbag from Amazon is super affordable with a price under $20, providing a similar silhouette and style to Kate's Aspinal favorite.
Perfect for pairing with blazers, smart coats and sleek dresses for a simple, hand-held addition to an outfit, the little purse is just enough for the essentials.
Kate Middleton is a regular wearer of LK Bennett pieces, from the perfect summer dress to accessories, including the gorgeous Dora Clutch.
The Princess of Wales carried the green suede clutch when she and Prince William paid a visit to Dublin in Ireland in March 2020, using the piece to compliment her patriotic all-green look.
An affordable Amazon alternative to Kate's vibrant LK Bennett clutch is perfect for adding a pop of color to an outfit or to tie together a color coordinated look, like the princess's Ireland ensemble.
For under $30 the envelope clutch is available in so many shades and wont' set you back over $300 like Catherine's.
