Kate Middleton has an impressive collection of designer handbags, all with rather hefty price tags to match their high-end brand names - but there's plenty of similar dupes for Kate's handbags out there.
From Kate Middleton's make-up and skincare collection to the contents of her incredible closet, the Princess of Wales pretty much has anything she could need when it comes to helping her look incredible - and that goes for accessories too.
While we know Kate loves a super chic pair of heels and ultra affordable jewelry (we're thinking about those Zara earrings she wore at the BAFTAs), the princess regularly steps out with a timeless designer handbag too.
While the likes of Kate Middleton's Mulberrys and Aspinals would be dream additions to our handbag families, there are some affordable dupes that mean we can take inspiration from her pricey purse stash, without having to splash out so much.
Kate has been photographed several times with a Mulberry Amberley Satchel in both the newer design and older designs and has the bag in a range of colors, including black croc print and fresh white.

Kate Middleton is known to have been a fan of the classic Lonchamp bag for decades, with Princess of Wales having been photographed with the French off-duty purse on her shoulder while out shopping with Carole Middleton years before she even married Prince William.
While a Medium Le Pliage Nylon Shoulder Tote from Longchamp is priced at around $140, there are plenty of similar designs available for sub-$50 prices.
