Which DeMellier styles are loved by Kate and Meghan?
The Princess of Wales has so many great bags, but she seems particularly taken with her DeMellier Nano Montreal: she's opted for this design on at-least four major occasions over the years.

Back in 2022, Kate wore her tan Montreal bag with a tonal camel ensemble on a public trip to Scarborough. For other occasions, she's let the toffee leather contrast brighter looks – a scarlet knitted dress she wore to an event hosted by The Forward Trust in October 2022, and the pillar-box red coat she wore in London for a book launch in May 2022.
The Princess of Wales has also kept DeMellier's navy version of the Montreal on rotation these past few years. She carried the micro bag during a visit to Cardiff to commemorate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June 2022, then teamed it with a powder-blue coat and pussy-bow blouse on a trip to Northern Ireland later in the same year.
At £330, DeMellier's Nano Montreal is already pretty affordable (as designer bags go, at least) but with that 20% discount taking it down to £264, it's just become even more irresistible.
It was actually Meghan Markle who helped propel this handbag label into the spotlight. Meghan has been championing British brands (she's an OG Missoma fan and has been spotted in Wales Bonner) since day one. So, naturally, when she chose to wear DeMellier for a 2018 on a trip to Cardiff, the independent label became an instant hit with the style set.
DeMellier deserves all the attention it gets, frankly, because it is both an ethical and sustainable brand. Not only does DeMellier prioritise responsible sourcing and small production lines, but it also donates a portion of profits to its charity initiative 'A Bag, A Life' – which right now is funding life-saving vaccines for children in collaboration with SOS Children’s Villages. And the best bit is, DeMellier donates all year round – no one-season wonders here.
What is the DeMellier Black Friday Sale?
For Black Friday 2024, DeMellier is offering 20% off its entire collection, from its signature day-to-night Montreal bag (frequently spotted on Meghan and Kate) to the laptop-sized New York, which is frankly far sleeker than that scruffy holdall you've been lugging to the office. Simply use code 'BF20' at checkout to take advantage of the deal.
When is the DeMellier Black Friday Sale?
Now! Black Friday 2024 falls on November 29, with the discounts expected to last over the weekend and through to Cyber Monday on December 2. That means there's plenty of time to treat yourself for less – and perhaps pick up some early Christmas presents while you're at it, too.
