Meghan Markle’s straw clutch bag from J Crew – where to buy the Duchess of Sussex’s accessory and who else uses one
MEGHAN Markle is no stranger to setting style trends these days.
And her latest summer accessory has sent the fashion world into overdrive. Here's everything you need to know about her adorable straw clutch and how you can BAG yourself one for less....
Where is Meghan Markle's straw clutch bag from?
Although Meghan has well and truly thrown herself into British high street shopping (especially when it comes to Marks & Spencers), sometimes you just have to fall back on some old favourites.
When it came to dressing for last week's royal engagement, Meghan went straight to cult American brand J Crew for this trendy straw clutch.
Although Meghan conformed to royal fashion tradition by taking a dainty clutch to the polo, she gave the rules a much-needed update by incorporating one of this season's hottest trends: the straw bag.
Better still, the American fashion brand - loved by Holly Willoughby both on-screen and off - is a slightly more accessible price point than some of Meghan's designer choices and this bag only cost £44.
No wonder it sold out so quickly.
Does Pippa Middleton own it too?
However, it looks like Meghan may have been taking fashion notes from one of the extended members of the Royal Family.
Pippa Middleton was spotted carrying this trendy bag for both her days out at Wimbledon this year, before Meghan snapped it up in the sale.
Who knows, maybe the royal women are just like us and have an open door policy when it comes to their wardrobe...
Where can I get a similar one?
For those of us who are pining after Meghan's style but didn't snap up this straw bag in time, we have good news: there are plenty of dupes available online.
