Kate Middleton's bag collection hails from this surprisingly affordable luxury brand

DeMellier is the stylish bag brand seen on the arms of Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Reese Witherspoon and, most famously, the Princess of Wales. Kate Middleton owns not one, but three bags from the London-based label.

Founded less than a decade ago, the brand is beloved by fashion editors and A-listers. DeMellier’s signature styles aren’t flashy or loud – instead, each design is architectural and minimalist, with understated branding details and elevated finishes.

The embodiment of an aspirational ‘quiet luxury’ aesthetic, the bags are designed in Britain but made in the world-renowned Spanish leather-crafting town of Ubrique. Combining high-quality materials with accessible price points, DeMellier’s popularity has been driven by soaring prices at ultra-luxury houses like Chanel and Louis Vuitton.

The demand for logo-less, timeless designs has never been higher – after all, if these bags are good enough for a royal, they’re good enough for us.

DeMellier’s New York bag is a slouchy, modern tote that can serve as a work bag, while the nano Montreal (Kate’s favourite) is a petite occasion-wear style. The Hudson is another princess-approved style, featuring a top handle and elegant curved silhouette. The Stockholm has likely dominated your Instagram feed – its stylish bowling bag shape and spacious interior are a win-win.

If you’re looking to upgrade your bag this season, here’s where to shop Kate’s collection – plus DeMellier’s new styles for autumn 2026.

An elevated bag for work and travel, the Sienna bucket bag is capacious, with long shoulder handles and a sleek gold-plated lock.
