    If A-list celebrities and royals have anything in common, it’s their unwavering devotion to iconic handbags. Timeless, elegant and meticulously crafted, there’s one failsafe brand the fashion set returns to time and time again: Strathberry.

    Celebrated for its minimalist silhouettes and contemporary, clean-lined designs, the Scottish label has earned cult status over the past decade—especially with Kate Middleton who has been spied carrying a number of Strathberry styles.

    The exceptional leatherwork and handcrafted quality have made the brand one of the most well-loved amongst the royals as well as other celebrities, include Katie Holmes, Kelly Rutherford, Pamela Anderson, Nicky Hilton and, of course, Meghan Markle. And because they're so popular they rarely go on sale, making this Black Friday markdown particularly noteworthy.

    Right now, the Strathberry Black Friday sale offers up to 30% off some of the brand’s most-loved bags—including the Melody Tote, Lana Midi Bucket, Georgia Mini, and the Mosaic Bag, a favourite of Kate Middleton.

    So if you’re looking for a wise handbag investment, or searching for the perfect Christmas present, there are few better opportunities than this one.

    Below, I’ve rounded up the best Strathberry sale pieces to make your shopping that much easier. You’re welcome.
