Princess Catherine, 44, has repeatedly worn Finlay’s Vivian sunglasses, a British-made design priced at £160 that costs less than many luxury designer shades from brands like Prada.
The frames feature a subtly upswept silhouette with softly bevelled detailing, offering a flattering shape that feels glamorous without being overly statement-making. They are handmade from sustainable Mazzucchelli acetate and provide full UV protection.
Royal-approved style available in multiple colours
Catherine has worn her pair at royal engagements and sunnier overseas appearances. The Marble colourway blends warm tortoiseshell-style tones with brown gradient lenses, suiting both summer dresses and autumn tailoring. Other colourways include Cinnamon, Dark Havana, and Marmalade, alongside classic neutral options.
More affordable alternatives to Princess Kate’s sunglasses
The Winnie Sunglasses from The White Company, priced at £30, offer a similarly polished, statement silhouette with strong oval frames and an almost cat-eye shape. They are crafted from acetate with polycarbonate lenses and UV400 protection.
One Upton’s chunky dark sunglasses, reduced from £59.99 to £35.99, feature a bolder square silhouette and chunkier acetate frame with a tortoiseshell effect, dark tinted lenses, and subtle gold-tone detailing.
