DeMellier, the stylish bag brand seen on the arms of Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Reese Witherspoon and, most famously, the Princess of Wales, has launched a rare summer sale. Kate Middleton owns not one, but three bags from the London-based label. Founded less than a decade ago, the brand is beloved by fashion editors and A-listers alike.
Why DeMellier Bags Are So Popular
DeMellier’s signature styles aren’t flashy or loud – instead, each design is architectural and minimalist, with understated branding details and elevated finishes. The embodiment of an aspirational ‘quiet luxury’ aesthetic, the bags are designed in Britain but made in the world-renowned Spanish leather-crafting town, Ubrique. Combining high-quality materials with accessible price points, DeMellier’s popularity has been driven by soaring prices at ultra-luxury houses like Chanel and Louis Vuitton. The demand for logo-less, timeless designs has never been higher – after all, if these bags are good enough for a royal, they’re good enough for us.
Best DeMellier Styles to Shop in the Summer Sale
DeMellier’s New York bag is a slouchy, modern tote that can serve as a work bag, while the nano Montreal (Kate’s favourite) is a petite occasion-wear style. The Hudson is another princess-approved style, featuring a top handle and elegant curved silhouette. The Stockholm has likely dominated your Instagram feed – its stylish bowling bag shape and spacious interior are a win-win. Now, you can invest in a DeMellier bag for less in the label’s rare summer sale. With discounts up to 30 per cent, bags are selling out fast – these are the best styles to shop.
DeMellier Hudson Small Grain Bag
Designed to be spacious enough to use day to day, the Hudson is also a style statement. The bag boasts DeMellier’s signature belted strap with gold-plated detailing, while the two leather handles and adjustable crossbody offer versatility when carrying. Available in leather, suede and raffia finishes, each bag is crafted from sustainable Italian leather. Discounted by nearly £150, the tan smooth grain finish on this Hudson bag leans into a quiet luxury look with an understated logo. Was: £585, now £375 at Demellierlondon.com.
DeMellier the Midi New York
DeMellier’s New York tote is instantly recognisable. Available in countless styles and finishes – from summer-ready raffia to classic black – the suede midi is a timeless choice. Characterised by its angular silhouette, leather top handle and signature gold hardware, the generously sized bag doesn’t fit a laptop (the large New York does) but is spacious enough for daytime essentials. Was: £475, now £335 at Demellierlondon.com.
DeMellier the Large Sienna Bucket
An elevated bag for work and travel, you can save more than £100 on the versatile Sienna bucket bag. The capacious style features long shoulder handles and a sleek gold-plated lock. Comfortably fitting a book, makeup bag, bottle and more, the bag is also designed with a cotton-lined zip pocket and two additional pockets for valuables. The smooth tan finish is a chef’s kiss. Was: £475, now £360 at Demellierlondon.com.
DeMellier the Midi Miami
A slightly bolder design, the DeMellier Miami has been reduced to less than £300. Distinguished by its crescent shape and chunky gold-plated chain, the bag boasts stylish ruched detailing, an internal zip pocket and DeMellier’s signature gold-embossed logo. Unlike the label’s other bags, the Miami is perfectly suited to evening occasions. Was: £435, now £275 at Demellierlondon.com.
DeMellier the Santorini
Raffia bags are a perennially chic summer essential. DeMellier’s Santorini style ticks every box with its practical interior space and long shoulder strap for beach days or city strolling. Handwoven in Morocco, the natural palm leaves are contrasted by a smooth black leather harness for extra durability. Was: £265, now £190 at Demellierlondon.com.
