Catherine, the Princess of Wales<\/a> has secured the goods (the goods being another of this season’s most-coveted handbags, of course.)<\/p>\n

On a visit to London’s Anna Freud centre on November 27, she chose to dress up a houndstooth Emilia Wickstead pencil dress with DeMellier’s Hudson bag<\/a>, in its smaller and mocha-coloured suede style. <\/p>\n

The top-handle mini-tote is definitive of what’s trending in handbags now. Not only is this particular iteration in the shade-of-the-moment, a decadently delicious chocolate brown, but the suede fabrication also speaks to the current obsession with the more tactile option. Plus, the silhouette of DeMellier’s bag makes it a modern classic, as comfortable in 2025 as it’ll likely be in 2035. An investment that becomes all the more alluring when you consider its current seasonal reduction. <\/p>\n

Yet, keen observers (read: me) will also notice that with this ensemble, Catherine did away with a rule that has long been observed by the royal family: matching your bag and shoe colour. Instead, Catherine opted to clash by carrying a brown bag and wearing a grey pointed heel. The styling choice moves her look into more contemporary territory as the out-dated adage for shoes and bags has by and large fallen out of daily favour and finds itself primarily reserved for mothers of the bride.<\/p>\n

Consciously deciding to not match is a quick, sure-fire way to bring about a sense of modernity versus the sometimes fusty results being overly cautious in matching your accessories can yield.<\/p>\n
