Kate Middleton Carried a White Envelope Clutch Bag

Few do classically chic as well as Kate Middleton—her recent all-white outfit is proof. When the Princess of Wales attended the Order of the Garter service earlier this week, she wore a timeless tweed blazer with a pleated skirt that featured a romantic lace trim. And in her hand, she carried Strathberry’s envelope-shaped white clutch. 

Strathberry Multrees Chain Wallet

While big bags have been trending, this practical-yet-elegant style shouldn’t be overlooked. The bite-sized accessory still holds all of your essentials, but unlike slouchier silhouettes, this simple and sleek look actually elevates outfits—or, in the case of Middleton, complements dressed-up ones. While you can still snag Middleton’s exact bag, I also found a few, more affordable alternatives to it. Below, shop the Princess-approved style starting at just $30.

8 Kate Middleton-Inspired Small Bags

The Drop Leroya Chain Wallet

The Drop’s $30 Leroya chain wallet gets you Middleton’s look for less (like, way less). The faux leather style has a rich-looking croc embossed textured and, like the Strathberry bag, includes a removable chain that can transform the clutch into a crossbody or shoulder bag.

BCBG Mini Loaf Crossbody Bag

Another under-$100 alternative is BCBG’s mini loaf bag. This has a soft, rounded silhouette and a slim faux leather strap. While still able to dress up, this option is great for more everyday wear.

Quince Italian Leather Diamond Quilted Crossbody Wallet

While certainly not cheap, Quince’s quilted leather bag is by far the best bang-for-your-buck option. The compact bag is made from real Italian leather, which, on its own would be enough to convince me this is worth the buy. But it’s made even more luxe-looking by adding a diamond quilted design and chic chain strap.

Marc Jacobs the Dual Chain Mini Bag

The closest lookalike I found for Middleton’s bag is this one from Marc Jacobs. It has the same silhouette, envelope closure, and chain strap. And while you can grab this one in a similar creamy white, it’s also available in classic black and brown, as well as an eye-catching pink, blue, and purple. 

Kate Spade Label Pochette

Kate Spade’s small Pochette bag is on double-discount with the code SALEONSALE. Shoppers say the leather bag is “cute and cool,” pairing a removable chain strap with a pouch-inspired silhouette. And while definitely on the smaller side, one person noted that it “fits all [their] things and more.” 

Coach Evie Long Chain Wallet

Coach’s Evie chain wallet is timeless. The no-fuss style’s envelope silhouette “goes with anything and everything,” according to shoppers, and the white leather is smooth, soft, “durable.”

Cole Haan Essential Pouch Crossbody Bag

Woven leather totes are one of summer’s must-have items—this Cole Haan style gets you that trend in smaller form. This bag has a small wrist strap for more on-the-go wear, as well as a removable crossbody chain. And while white gets your Middleton’s look, I have to confess, I might like it in the metallic gold a little more.
