Royals, they’re just like us: When it comes to accessories, they know what they like. Still, it’s fun to celebrate the repeat choices—like this simple, yet classic clutch from Emmy London ($440) that Kate Middleton owns in a whopping 14 colors, according to our latest count.

About the most recent sighting: Kate perfectly paired the ‘Natasha’ clutch in lake blue ($440) with her royal blue Alexander McQueen coat while attending a Christmas Day service with the royal family at Sandringham on Christmas day.

But there’s another detail worth calling out about this style: Kate’s younger sister Pippa Middleton owns one, too. She carried the exact same style—in a candy-colored red ($440)—to an event hosted by the British Heart Foundation in December last year.
So, why is this particular clutch so beloved by the Middleton clan? Well, for one thing, it’s quite versatile, especially given the color range. Made from high-quality suede and handcrafted in Portugal, it also features an interior zip pocket and is sized big enough to fit the essentials—key, phone, lip color, cash—required for an elegant evening out. (Not that the future Queen of England necessarily needs to carry any of that.)
More than anything, the Emmy London ‘Natasha’ clutch feels polished, yet effortless: It’s the type of bag that you can dress up or down. (We also love that it comes with a detachable gold and leather chain strap—although we haven’t noticed Kate or Pippa wearing it that way so far.)

But is there a chance that Kate loaned her Emmy London style to Pippa for her event? (Kate did bring the clutch in red to an event in 2017.) Do the Middleton sisters borrow from each other’s closets? Inquiring—and royal-loving minds—want to know.
In the meantime, we’ll be shopping for our own Emmy London clutch. The only challenge: Choosing our favorite hue from the rainbow selection.
