On Tuesday Kate Middleton made a welcome reappearance at Buckingham Palace’s Royal Garden Party for the first time since 2023, and she of course did it in style. The Princess of Wales opted for a very on trend butter yellow midi dress, which she accessorised with a matching hat from Philip Treacy and a pair of nude heels.

However it was her clutch bag that really caught our eye, with Princess Kate carrying Forever New’s Lily Bag. Although its raffia design was perfect for adding an extra summery hint to her look, what was even more remarkable about it was just how affordable it was.

The bag was originally priced at £28, and has been a staple in Princess Kate’s wardrobe ever since she first wore it during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022. Although the Lily Bag has since sold out – no doubt thanks to the Kate effect, where her fashion choices often lead to increased demand for featured items – the affordable Australian brand still has several other designs that let you copy Kate’s style.

Just like Princess Kate’s Lily bag, the other styles are affordable and chic and perfect for nailing the summer vibes. The closest match to the Lily bag we found on Forever New is the Kelsey Clutch, £50, which has the same design and structure as Kate’s bag, just with the addition of stunning pearl and diamante details all over it for some added glamour.

It has an easy-to-carry rectangular shape with a metal push clasp on the top, and a detachable chain strap that allows you to swap it to a shoulder or cross body bag. It also features a handy internal pouch for keeping your belongings safe.

For something more simple the Andrea Weave Camera Bag is £35 and has a similar rounded rectangular shape with woven straw details. It also features a detachable chain and faux leather strap, with a zip fastening for added security.

Next also features a similar style, with the Gold Raffia Structured Clutch Bag priced at a very affordable £24. Rather than a shoulder strap it features a removable wristlet strap that makes it easy to carry, with a zip top fastening.

Pouch bags are also a super sought-after clutch design, and Mango’s £49.99 Natural fibre handbag has a designer look on an affordable budget. Dune’s Elsabeth Clutch is slightly pricier at £99, but has a grab top handle that makes it easy to carry.

However if you want to follow in Princess Kate’s budget-friendly footsteps, shop Forever New’s range of bags now. The brand is also currently offering 20% off selected styles including summer dresses and co-ords that are perfect for holidays and weddings.
