With wedding season, summer parties, and race days filling the diary, now feels like the perfect time to invest in an elegant handbag that will work for years to come. If Zara Tindall's latest Royal Ascot appearance caught your eye, there's good news for shoppers looking to recreate her polished look.
Zara Tindall's Royal Ascot Style
On day four of Royal Ascot, the King's niece, 44, stepped out carrying Mulberry's Amberley Clutch in smooth leather – a sophisticated black design that perfectly complemented her monochrome outfit. Better still, while Zara's exact version remains full price, shoppers can currently save £186 on the croc-effect Amberley Clutch at Flannels.
While slightly different to Zara's smooth leather style, the sale version retains all the elegance that makes the Amberley collection such a firm favourite. Crafted from glossy croc-effect leather, the clutch is finished with Mulberry's signature Rider's Lock hardware in a luxurious gold-tone finish, giving it an elevated feel that works beautifully for both day and evening occasions.
Design Details and Versatility
The structured silhouette keeps the bag looking timeless, while the detachable gold chain strap means it can be worn over the shoulder or carried as a clutch. It's the sort of accessory that instantly makes an outfit feel more expensive, whether you're styling it with a floaty summer dress or sharp tailoring.
What makes this sale particularly appealing is that it offers shoppers the chance to buy into a genuinely royal-approved label for a fraction of the usual cost. Mulberry has long been a favourite among the Royal Family, with Princess Catherine also regularly carrying the British brand.
In fact, the Princess of Wales owns a blush pink Mulberry bag and has been photographed with several of the label's designs over the years. Like Zara, Catherine often gravitates towards classic investment pieces that transcend trends, making Mulberry a natural fit for her wardrobe.
Mulberry Amberley Collection
The Amberley collection itself has become one of the brand's most recognisable lines thanks to its timeless design and understated elegance. The croc-effect Amberley Clutch is currently priced at £459, down from £645, offering a saving of £186.
For those who prefer Zara's exact smooth leather version, it remains available at full price for £595 from Mulberry. Both options provide a sophisticated accessory suitable for weddings, race days, and evening events.
Alternative Royal-Approved Bags
Shoppers looking for other options inspired by Zara Tindall can consider the Eliza Clutch from Aspinal of London, currently 50% off at £225 (down from £450). This smooth leather envelope-style design features a detachable strap, allowing it to be worn over the shoulder or as a clutch. Aspinal of London is another British label Zara is regularly spotted carrying.
Another alternative is the Vancouver clutch from DeMellier, priced at £395. Both Zara Tindall and Princess Catherine have carried bags from the British label, with Catherine previously spotted holding this very design in a navy colourway. The structured silhouette, elegant top handle, and gold-tone hardware give it a polished feel for weddings, race days, and evening events.
