Princess Kate has been a longtime fan of Aspinal of London’s classic British designs, but she’s not the only royal who loves the brand. Everyone from Queen Camilla to Zara Tindall has carried Aspinal’s luxurious handbags, and now Kate’s favorite design is offered in some rich new fall colors.

Titled "Crossing Paths," Aspinal’s fall/winter 2026 collection was designed to mark “the quiet connections that bring us together,” and there’s one style that the Princess of Wales has relied on time and time again.

Kate owns the brand’s celebrity-loved Midi Mayfair bag—carried by everyone from Jennifer Lopez to Selena Gomez—in black croc and a pale lilac. This season, fashion fans can grab it in fall colors ranging from chocolate croc to a deep evergreen that matches the blazer Princess Kate wore for her most recent appearance.

“The Mayfair Bag is the epitome of a classic top handle leather handbag—a style loved not only for its elegance, but also for its versatility,” Monica Marriott-Mills previously told Marie Claire.

“The bag is a trusted silhouette no matter what engagement she's attending,” Monica added, explaining that leaning on a familiar silhouette "is is also something we saw the late Queen do with Launer bags."

Along with her Midi Mayfair styles, Princess Kate also owns two Aspinal clutches, but with everything from equestrian-inspired hobos to sleek croc-print phone cases available this season, it wouldn't be surprising if she added to her collection.
