For many years, Queen Camilla has shown a special fondness for a handbag brand that was once a favorite of Queen Elizabeth II. She has an array of models suited for every occasion, which she sports at every stage of her life.<\/p>\n
It’s evident that royal figures share more than just nobility; in fashion, they often harbor similar affections for certain brands. From Mathilde of Belgium and Maxima of the Netherlands with Natan Couture to Letizia of Spain and Kate Middleton with S\u00e9zane, it’s clear that some labels enjoy the royal seal of approval, even on an international scale.<\/p>\n
However, while some fashion favorites cross borders and resonate with monarchies from various countries, others remain within the confines of a single royalty, much like a national treasure or a well-kept secret. In this regard, a British leather goods brand stands out at Buckingham Palace, garnering favor from both Queen Camilla and Queen Elizabeth II before her.<\/p>\n
On September 19, 2022, the Duchess of Cornwall chose to enhance her funeral attire with a black clutch by the same brand; a final tribute to the woman who had worn it faithfully for over half a century. This handbag brand is none other than Launer.<\/p>\n
Known as the official supplier to the crown since 1968, this artisanal label continues to charm the wife of Monarch Charles III, who remains loyal to it to this day: evidence lies in her impressive collection of various models. Her favorite? The Tosca minaudi\u00e8re. This particular piece is frequently flaunted by the Queen Consort.<\/p>\n
She was seen sporting the pristine white version of the Tosca at the Royal Ascot in June, marked with the brand’s iconic logo, a golden rope elegantly shaped into a loop. Her affection is significant, as she also owns the Tosca in black. But it doesn’t stop there: besides the Tosca, Camilla Parker-Bowles has also taken a liking to the Bella, a clutch she wore for her 20th wedding anniversary with King Charles.<\/p>\n
Additionally, she owns the Judi, a smaller iteration of the Traviata. Clearly, Camilla’s love for Launer goes beyond mere collection, as she even visited the brand’s workshops in January 2020.<\/p>\n
Queen Elizabeth II, in contrast, was never seen without her ebony black Traviata; a bag with a vintage feel whose sleek contours evoke the 1950s. This model was designed and reserved for her alone; it was even rumored that no one else could carry it. In the royal fashion sphere, tastes and preferences are often very similar.<\/p>\n\n\n
