Meghan Markle’s $750 Purse Is from the Same Brand She’s Carried Before — but This Style Is Hands-Free

The apples don’t fall far from the tree — er, the orchard.

We haven’t gotten our fill of Meghan Markle’s new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard (it will hit the market later this year), but we’re getting plenty of looks during her visit to Colombia. Two of which, the blazer and ant combo and the moment maxi dress, just included the $750 Cesta Collective shoulder bag, a handbag style seen on everyone from Taylor Swift to Jennifer Aniston to Oprah.

Although she previously carried the brand’s handbag and hand clutch, it’s no wonder she opted for a hands-free style this time: this way she could socialize without any of the fuss that a heavier-shouldered style would require.

A shopping tip we swear by? Turning to the web pages of outlets. Because when you do, you find things like this Kate Spade Monica Mini Flap Crossbody. Although it costs $89, it is actually worth much more because of its “soft” leather material. One customer also said the “quality is excellent”, adding: “If you double the strap you can turn it into a shoulder bag for a night out on the town.”

Nordstrom rack

Orig. $98 $50 at Nordstromrack.com

With rounded edges, threading and floral stitching, this shoulder bag from Nordstrom Rack is a real style charmer. The shape is also slightly saddle-shaped, a silhouette that Jennifer Garner just loved, and it even matches the tones of Markle’s. And even though Labor Day is a week away, don’t be so quick to purge your closet of whites, creams, and beiges—wearing white during the colder months isn’t off limits.

$26 on Amazon

Need more space but don’t want to deal with the disorganized chaos of a large bag? Something like this $26 option has a bit more room like Kate Hudson’s roomier crotch, but isn’t so big that its heavy contents are a source of back or shoulder pain. It is also a beautiful material made of artificial suede leather that will bring warm and cozy autumn atmospheres to your wardrobe.
