Princess Catherine, the Princess of Wales, attended Wimbledon over the weekend carrying the Tusting Mini Holly handbag, a design she has repeatedly chosen since 2021. The structured top-handle bag, priced at £415, is crafted from smooth stone-hued leather with gold-tone hardware and includes a detachable shoulder strap for versatility.
Royal Endorsement of British Craftsmanship
The Princess's choice highlights the British family-run leather goods atelier Tusting, known for understated elegance. This is not the first time she has been seen with the Mini Holly; she has carried it on numerous occasions over four years, demonstrating its enduring appeal.
Why Top-Handle Bags Dominate
Top-handle handbags remain a trend this season, offering a polished finish to outfits ranging from floaty dresses to tailored workwear. The Mini Holly's compact size fits daily essentials while its structured silhouette adds sophistication.
Alternative Investment Bags
For those inspired by the royal's style, similar options include the Fairfax & Favor Mini Blenheim (£345) in Italian pebbled leather, and the Strathberry Mosaic Nano (£319, originally £425), a cream calf-leather bag with a signature bar closure that Kate has also worn. Both feature top handles and detachable straps.
