Two of the Princess of Wales‘ favourite handbag brands – Aspinal of London and Strathberry – have kicked off their Black Friday sales early, offering the perfect opportunity to add a touch of regal style to your wardrobe.
From elegant top-handle designs to chic crossbody bags, these timeless pieces make ideal gifts – whether you’re shopping for a loved one or treating yourself to a well-deserved upgrade.
Here are my royal-inspired top picks to see you through the festive season and beyond.
Aspinal of London
Aspinal of London’s Black Friday sale sees some of its most coveted designs reduced by up to 50 per cent.
Long synonymous with sophistication, Aspinal is a firm royal favourite – worn by the Princess of Wales, Zara Tindall, Princess Beatrice, and Queen Camilla.
Like Princess Kate, I’ve been a loyal fan of the Midi Mayfair for years (she first carried it back in 2018). The vintage-inspired shape instantly elevates any outfit, and right now the cherry ombré version is at the very top of my wish list.
Red acts as a neutral – it works with everything from day to night – and the sleek croc finish shows off Aspinal’s craftsmanship beautifully.
Equally elegant is the Mayfair Clutch in champagne gold, which brings a subtle shimmer and a luxurious finish that is perfect for the party season.
Aspinal hasn’t forgotten its accessories either. Classic cardholders and wallets are also included in the sale, making thoughtful gifts this Christmas.
Strathberry
Edinburgh-based label Strathberry has also launched its early Black Friday offers, with up to 30 per cent off some of its most iconic designs.
Beloved by the Princess of Wales, the Duchess of Edinburgh, Duchess of Sussex, Zara Tindall, and Princess Beatrice, Strathberry combines Scottish heritage with understated luxury.
Princess Kate’s much-loved Mosaic Nano is part of the sale, available in elegant shades including dusky blue, oxblood croc and khaki. She memorably carried the vanilla version at the 2023 Christmas carol service, perfectly complementing her monochrome ensemble.
This season, I’ve got my eye on the black croc East/West bag – a sleek, structured design carried by both Meghan Markle and Zara Tindall. With its refined texture and minimalist silhouette, it’s an ideal statement piece for the festive period.
Meghan has also favoured Strathberry’s roomier styles, such as the Midi Tote, complete with the brand’s signature gold bar closure. Select shades, including tan, oxblood croc, and khaki, are now part of the sale lineup.
Other sought-after pieces include the Drawstring Crossbody in oat, the Suede Tote in chocolate brown, and the Halo Shoulder Bag in black – all elegant additions for any handbag lover’s collection.
