Gone are the days of endless array of envelope clutches and small flap bags– these days Duchess Kate has embraced the top handle handbag. While still adhering to her vintage minded aesthetic, the 39-year-old’s classic petite purse collection offers the royal a chic departure from her tiny handbags of yesteryear. Structured and sophisticated, these miniature bags are versatile enough for work or play. Indeed, the mini bag is Kate’s new favorite royal engagement must-have and the duchess has become particularly fond of nude, beige and toffee colored styles.
