As we move into the new season, there’s one brand that consistently delivers when it comes to timeless, chic accessories – and that’s Aspinal of London. Loved by the royal set, it’s become a go-to for those looking to invest in pieces that feel elevated without being overly trend-led, and will last for years.
At the heart of that following is the Princess of Wales, who has worn the brand’s iconic Midi Mayfair on repeat in a range of colourways, including black, tan and bold red – proving just how versatile and wearable the design really is.
Now, Aspinal has just dropped its new summer collection, and it’s exactly what you’d expect: classic shapes, soft seasonal shades and those signature structured finishes that instantly pull a look together. These aren’t pieces you wear once and forget about – they’re the kind you reach for season after season.
Naturally, we took a closer look and picked out the top three styles we can easily imagine the Princess of Wales adding to her collection next.
Think refined, wearable and effortlessly elegant, just the way royal style should be.
This chic little top-handle bag is exactly the kind of sleek accessory the Princess of Wales, 44, would reach for, especially given how similar it is to the style she carried on Easter Sunday last week.
Made from soft suede, it has that luxe, understated finish that instantly elevates even the simplest outfit. The structured shape keeps it looking smart and put-together, while the compact size makes it perfect for just your essentials. It also comes with two strap options: a leather crossbody for everyday ease and the brand’s signature chain strap for something a bit dressier. Classic, versatile and quietly statement-making, it’s easy to see why this one ticks all the royal style boxes.
This design is one of those bags that’s already earned icon status in Princess Catherine’s wardrobe, with her reaching for it time and time again – from royal tours to official engagements. Crafted from croc-embossed leather, it has that structured, ultra-polished finish that instantly makes any outfit look more put-together.
The shape is timeless, but still feels current, especially in this rich caramel shade from the new collection, which would feel like a natural fit straight into the Princess’s wardrobe. It also comes in several other colour options, so you can pick the one that best suits your wardrobe. It’s exactly the kind of classic, hard-working piece the Princess of Wales would approve of: elegant, versatile and designed to be worn on repeat.
This sleek crossbody is the kind of effortless, throw-on bag that fits seamlessly into a busy day, without compromising on style. Made from smooth leather, it has that clean, minimal finish that keeps it looking polished while still feeling practical.
The compact shape is ideal for on-the-go use, and it comes in both a medium and a larger size, depending on how much you need to carry. It’s easy to imagine the Princess of Wales reaching for this on more active engagements – whether she’s out on a walk or moving between events, thanks to its hands-free design and fuss-free feel. With other colourways and textures available too, it’s one of those reliable staples you’ll end up using far more than you think.
