Earlier in December, Meghan Markle made her first Royal outing in style when she visited Nottingham with Prince Harry.

She wore a chic navy coat over a khaki midi skirt and black suede boots by Kurt Geiger, and accessorised with a burgundy tote bag by Strathberry, and couldn't have picked a better choice for her first official appearance.

Naturally, said bag promptly sold out (we're calling it the Meghan effect already), and it was made even more special by the fact the Suits actress chose to wear a Scottish brand, a departure from her usual fashion brands, which are often Canadian or American.

But if you missed out on the bag, fear not, because it's coming back in stock very soon, and you can register your email now so you're the first to know about it.

Meghan opted for the tri-colour burgundy, navy and vanilla tote, though it comes in a plethora of other colours from red to moss green.

The classic design goes with everything, and while it looks great with a smart outfit like Meghan's, we like the idea of dressing it down with jeans and trainers.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
