Affordable way to copy Kate Middleton's latest handbag - 9Style

The Duchess of Cambridge was carrying a sleek black handbag from a designer British brand.

It has the crucial top handle and shiny gold accessories as seen on the royal's designer number.

It even has gold hardwear like on Kate's bag, as well as a nicely finished handle.

A simple handbag with a top handle is also favoured by The Queen, who always carries a Launer bag on engagements.
