Kate's Fave Bag: Strathberry's Royal Secret

The Strathberry brand is experiencing remarkable growth, projected to surpass $67 million in annual revenue this year. This success is significantly fueled by royal endorsements, most notably from Kate Middleton, who has frequently carried their Multrees Chain Wallet. The bag's popularity and a similar surge in demand following Meghan Markle's 2017 appearance, which sold out a tote in 11 minutes, have propelled Strathberry onto the global stage.

Co-founder Leeanne Hundleby emphasizes the brand's commitment to handcrafted quality, with all items made in Spain. This dedication to craftsmanship is key to their business model, even amidst rapid expansion. The brand aims to double its revenue by 2029, while celebrating its Scottish roots and cultivating an international customer base.

Strathberry's signature gold 'music bar' hardware, inspired by vintage music folios, is a distinctive feature across their designs. This hardware and the elegant aesthetic have garnered fans among other royals like Zara Tindall and Princess Beatrice, further solidifying the brand's luxury status. The possibility of a royal warrant is a distant but cherished aspiration for the company.
