When royal bride-to-be Meghan Markle stepped out for her first official appearance to mark her engagement, women the world over were flooding stores in a bid to replicate her stylish get-up.
And shortly afterwards, the well-dressed Suits star, along with her fiancé Prince Harry were snapped looking every inch the stylish couple when they attended a charity event to mark World Aids Day.
At that very event, it wasn’t Ms Markle’s navy wool Mackage coat sending women into a frenzy but her statement tote by Scottish brand Strathberry.
And now, you too can get your hands on the stunning accessory.
