With the warmer weather on the horizon, Princess Catherine’s latest appearance offered the perfect spring style cue. Stepping out for the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey, the Princess of Wales paired her elegant navy ensemble with the sleek Strathberry Multrees chain wallet – a handbag that has become a firm favourite in her royal rotation.

And it is easy to see why. The compact clutch strikes that rare balance between elegance and practicality. Measuring around 20cm long and 11cm high, it is just the right size to carry your phone, cards and a few daily essentials without weighing you down.

The design Catherine, 44, carried is crafted from croc-embossed leather and finished with Strathberry’s signature gold bar hardware across the front – a detail that has become instantly recognisable among fashion fans. Inside, there are also clever card slots, meaning you can leave the bulky purse at home and travel light. The bag also comes with a detachable chain strap, so it can be worn over the shoulder or crossbody during the day, before easily transforming into a classic clutch for evening events.

It is far from the first time Catherine has reached for the style. The Princess has also been spotted carrying the Multrees in black and cream, proving just how versatile the design can be across different outfits and seasons. The bag itself is available in a wide range of leathers and colourways, from understated neutrals to richer shades, making it an easy piece to incorporate into almost any wardrobe.

Strathberry has become something of a go-to brand for royal women, too. Alongside Catherine, the Scottish label has also been worn by Meghan Markle and the Duchess of Edinburgh, at several high-profile engagements.

Shoppers have also praised the clutch, with one happy customer writing: “It’s the most beautiful bag I have ever owned,” while another described it as the “perfect size for evenings when you don’t want to carry too much.”

If you love a handbag that looks elegant but still feels practical, the Strathberry Mosaic Nano bag is well worth having on your radar. The Princess of Wales has previously stepped out carrying the chic cream version, proving just how effortlessly the structured design works with polished outfits.

The compact bag measures 18cm x 14cm x 19cm and is crafted from smooth calf leather, finished with Strathberry’s instantly recognisable gold bar closure across the front. While it may be the nano size, it is still roomy enough to fit your phone, keys, AirPods and lipstick – everything you need for day-to-day outings or an evening event.

It is also designed with versatility in mind. There is a top handle for carrying it in the crook of your arm, while a detachable leather strap means you can wear it crossbody when you want to keep your hands free.

The style is proving popular across royal wardrobes, too. Alongside the Princess of Wales, Princess Beatrice was spotted carrying the Mosaic bag in black last week, showing just how easy the design is to dress up or down.

If you prefer something slightly larger, Strathberry also offers a bigger Mosaic version (£495) measuring 23 x 18 x 12cm, which keeps the same sleek silhouette and signature hardware while giving you a little extra room.
