From Catherine to Meghan
These are the royals’ summer handbags
In summer, the royals agree: With a colorful bag, every woman can get through the warm season with confidence. Which it-bags are particularly popular with the princesses, duchesses and queens of Europe? Very easily …
We don’t lean too far out of the window when we claim that bags are our most loyal companions. From the iconic 2.55 from Chanel to the Birkin from Hermès to the trendy raffia bag from Mango – there is the right bag for every situation. And according to most royal ladies, for every season too! Because what belongs to Catherine, Letizia and Victoria as much as their title? That’s right, a bag that is usually sold out within a few hours.
So that it doesn’t get boring, the royals like to rely on a few special models, especially in summer. A crochet bag, for example, that Princess Sofia of Sweden recently delighted all fans with when she visited the “Catwalk live” project in Stockholm!

Princess Sofia of Sweden is up for a surprise
This spring, crochet is not only celebrating a big comeback on the catwalks. Princess Sofia of Sweden also obviously liked the retro design. At a catwalk event in Stockholm, the princess wears a lace dress by DAY Birger et Mikkelsen and a colorful 70s-style crocheted bag.
A little mystery among fashion professionals for a few days, the origin of her bag is now known: Her colorful “Granny Square Bag” with an absolute midsummer feeling was designed by the young Swedish designer Alexandra Carlsen. She not only makes her bags by hand, but is also happy about the great popularity and her royal customer on Instagram.
Duchess Catherine loves summer raffia
Prince William’s wife is known to be a fan of the British label Alexander McQueen – also when it comes to handbags. One of her favorites: the “Wicca Bag”. Kate owns these in several colors and designs – and could spend a whole summer just with her. Prince William’s wife seemed to be particularly in love with the bast model! This is what she wore when she attended the 2019 and 2020 Wimbledon tournaments.
And we are sure: we will see them more often. Because the mixture of leather and raffia is super timeless and easy to combine and not only looks fantastic with Kate’s white summer dress.
Classic and bright: this is Queen Letizia’s favorite summer bag
Queen Letizia is known for her classic and understated style. How can this be reconciled with summer trends? By reaching for timeless bags with fresh colors. If the shape is right, like a box-shaped clutch here, Letizia’s bags can pop. Butter yellow, baby blue or trendy pink – in a perfectly coordinated ensemble, the Spanish monarch likes to surprise with a bit more color. The 49-year-old regularly proves how good it looks in summer with a white dress.
Duchess Meghan relies on practical bags
Similarly tuned, but much cleaner, Duchess Meghan approaches the topic. One of her favorites: The “Avalon Zip Top Crossbody” from the Australian brand Oroton, which not only impresses with its graphic pattern, but also with the relatively low price of around 220 US dollars. The stripes on the crossbody bag are elegant and the long strap is practical – especially when it comes to shaking hands. No wonder that the accessory is not only extremely popular with the Duchess. With this summer bag, Meghan definitely stays true to her personal style and relies on a modern eye-catcher.
