Kate Middleton Debuts a New Handbag with a Romantic Backstory

If there’s one thing we’ve observed about Kate Middleton, it’s that she sure knows how to accessorize. However, even though we like to consider ourselves rather observant when it comes to the details of her ensembles, we almost overlooked her latest purchase, which turns out to have a sweet meaning behind it.

On Tuesday, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge took a quick trip to London to view the final results of one of her biggest projects to date—Hold Still, a photography exhibition that aims to reflect the feelings of everyone across the United Kingdom amid the current coronavirus pandemic.

And while the mother-of-three’s gorgeous red coat from Alexander McQueen had us distracted, we nearly didn’t notice the small accessory she carried on her arm: a new handbag by British designer Grace Han. Called the “Love Letter” handbag, the top-handle piece from one of Han’s latest collections of leather goods is simple, yet elegant.
