DeMellier, the London-based bag brand favoured by the Princess of Wales, has become a staple of quiet luxury. Kate Middleton owns three bags from the label, which is also seen on Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Reese Witherspoon. Founded less than a decade ago, the brand is known for its architectural, minimalist designs with understated branding and elevated finishes.
The bags are designed in Britain and made in Ubrique, Spain, a town renowned for leather craftsmanship. Despite high-quality materials, the price points remain accessible, a factor that has driven popularity as ultra-luxury houses like Chanel and Louis Vuitton raise prices. Demand for logo-less, timeless designs has never been higher.
Kate's Favourite Styles
DeMellier's New York bag is a slouchy, modern tote suitable for work, while the nano Montreal, Kate's favourite, is a petite style for special occasions. The Hudson features a top handle and elegant curved silhouette, and the Stockholm's bowling bag shape and spacious interior have made it a social media staple.
Kate has carried the nano Montreal on at least 10 public appearances, including Wimbledon. Due to popularity, it is available for pre-order with delivery by the end of November. Priced at £365, it features a smooth tan finish and gold hardware.
New Autumn 2026 Styles
The Stockholm tote, priced at £600, comes in a black croc finish, classic suede, and zebra print for autumn. The Hudson small grain bag, at £495, offers a belted strap with gold-plated detailing, two leather handles, and an adjustable crossbody, crafted from sustainable Italian leather.
The Stockholm shoulder, at £450, has a boxy shape and long shoulder strap, available in Bordeaux fine-grain leather, chocolate suede, or chalk white. The midi New York tote, £475, is a timeless suede choice with an angular silhouette and gold hardware. The large Sienna bucket bag, £425, fits a book, makeup bag, and bottle, with multiple pockets.
