Australia is opening up more than it has for two years, just in time for summer.
Our calendars may be bursting with events however, wardrobes are about to be put to the test, and while we are going to do our best to update our clothes, we can’t forget about the power of accessories.
Summer bags are arguably not supposed to be practical but rather a refined touch to complement to your floral dress or bold pantsuit.
The most stylish royals we love, like Duchess Catherine and Queen Letizia, know how to masterfully enhance their outfits with bags that make an understated but chic impact.
From clutches to handbags, the options are endless, and you can make statements by experimenting with unique shapes like boxes or keep it classic with snakeskin and cream leather.
Whatever your sartorial whim is this season, our favourite royal style stars offer unparalleled inspiration, and we have found some affordable dupes to match.
