Princess Kate is fairly loyal when it comes to her handbags - often reaching for her Aspinal of London Mayfair bag , Mulberry, Grace Han or her trusty mini DeMellier bag, but in a recent outing at an opticians in Notting Hill, the royal was spotted carrying a new Smythson bag we have not seen before. Cue gasps amongst the HELLO! Shopping Team. Smythson's Mini Lytton, £850 / $1,195 is brand new and it's from the SS25 collection - Kate has obviously been shopping for her new-season buys and this one is a goodie.
Featuring the soft, large grain Lytton leather, the small but mighty handbag is available in Dark Taupe (the colour Princess Kate opted for), Blossom (a cute baby pink), and Mineral Green (very colour of the season!) as well as classic Black. EXACT MATCH: Smythson Mini Lytton Crossbody Bag in Ludlow £850 AT SMYTHSON $1,195 AT SMYTHSON US The Mini Lytton can either be worn as either a top handle or styled as a crossbody bag, which I love. I think if I were to buy this bag I'd be reaching for Blossom, because the pink shade is just absolutely stunning.
This new addition to Kate's bag collection is small but perfectly formed, and it has internal pockets for your non-negotiables. It's also good for carrying for errands (like Kate) as it has a zip closure, keeping your valuables safe. With Valentine's Day around the corner, this could make a gorgeous gift for the woman you love - especially if she's a royal fashion fan.
Every Smythson purchase comes meticulously packed in .
