Princess Kate's favourite bag brand has 60% off styles fit for a royal
Princess Catherine’s favourite handbag brand is running one of its biggest sales of the year – and royal fans can save hundreds this January. British label Aspinal of London, synonymous with luxury items and expert craftsmanship, is currently offering up to 60% off across selected lines.
The heritage brand has long been a firm favourite with the Royal Family, with Princess Catherine, Zara Tindall and Duchess Sophie all regularly stepping out carrying its designs.
Catherine's much-loved Midi Mayfairbag - the structured top-handle style she has worn on countless engagements, sadly isn’t included in the current sale, but shoppers needn’t worry. Aspinal’s January event still features a strong selection of elegant alternatives that deliver the same polished, royal-approved aesthetic.
From beautifully structured crossbody bags to sleek top-handle styles and timeless clutches, the sale highlights everything the brand does best. We’ve rounded up our top royal-inspired picks from the sale below, so you can shop the look with confidence before the most coveted styles sell out.
Our Aspinal of London must haves:
This sleek tote is a timeless wardrobe staple and has been reduced by 60% to £158, saving a whopping £237. Handcrafted from luxurious full-grain leather, the bag is perfect for everyday errands and work.

If black isn’t your go-to, it’s also available in navy and burgundy.
This compact crossbody bag is crafted from leather with a textured, grained finish. The chain strap adds a fresh detail. This blue version is currently 50% off, making it one of the strongest buys in the sale. It also comes in black, which is included in the promotion too, though discounted at a slightly lower 40% off.
Crafted from full-grain leather, this shoulder bag brings a relaxed bohemian feel. The bridle stud metalwork adds character and subtle structure, giving the design a distinctive edge without overpowering its softness. Worn over the shoulder, it’s effortlessly practical and stylish, ideal for everyday use. The neutral shade is perfect for getting ahead of the spring/summer season, working just as well now as it will in warmer weather, and it’s also available in a trendy navy and fresh capri blue.
This burgandy bag is simply gorgeous and it's got 50% off, saving over £248. The crossbody bag has a chic curved silhouette, with a structured shape. Crafted from smooth, high-quality leather, the design is finished with a sleek metal clasp at the front, giving it a refined, timeless feel. The navy version (below) offers even bigger value, with nearly £250 knocked off, making it a standout investment piece while the discounts last.
Crafted from leather, this bag showcases a beautifully tactile finish. It’s part of the brand’s new collection of handwoven leather designs, which launched this season and is rooted in traditional craftsmanship. The intricate weave adds depth, making it a standout without feeling overdone. While it comes in a variety of colours, the khaki version is also currently included in the winter sale.
This striking bag is crafted from high-shine leather with an embossed croc finish, giving it a statement feel that instantly elevates any outfit. Princess Catherine is known to own this design in classic black, although that version isn’t currently included in the sale. The structured silhouette keeps it timeless, while the glossy texture adds a fashion-forward edge. It can be styled neatly as a clutch, or you can clip on the bold chain strap and wear it elegantly over the shoulder for evening occasions.
Zara Tindall has worn the Lottie bag on repeat, and it’s easy to see why. Crafted in soft taupe quilted nappa leather, it strikes the perfect balance between day and evening, with a refined texture that elevates even the simplest outfit. The signature chain detail allows it to be worn crossbody for hands-free ease or draped over the shoulder for a more classic finish.
The Micro Lottie Crossbody in black pebble leather is the most versatile evening option in the line-up. Compact yet impactful, it features the same iconic chain strap, giving you the choice to wear it across the body or neatly on the shoulder. The textured pebble leather adds structure and durability, making it ideal for everything from formal events to dinner dates. This style proves that small bags can still deliver serious style impact.

Finished with a detachable strap for versatile wear, it works just as well worn crossbody by day as it does carried neatly for evening plans.
