Meghan Markle's accessories collection is truly the stuff of dreams. From these versatile Everlane flats to statement-making waterproof jewelry, she knows what she's doing when it comes to perfectly complementing every outfit. So naturally, I was excited to see that one of Markle's go-to brands for handbags, Cuyana, recently released the Paloma style she's been spotted in (which became so popular, it sold out twice and garnered a massive waiting list) in a new, smaller version ($398) that's the perfect size for everyday use.

Cuyana

Besides its chic, royal-worthy aesthetic, this luxe handbag has tons of functional features you'll love. Your carrying options are endless thanks to the two top handles *and* long strap, which can be adjusted to lay as a shoulder style or worn across the body. I also love how organized the interior is, with a slip pocket to keep items you need easy access to, like your phone and wallet, along with a key loop that'll save the day when you're juggling an iced coffee and shopping bags, and trying to unlock your door. Shoppers also appreciate the security the top zipper offers.

Like its larger counterpart, the Mini Paloma bag is crafted in Italy, and made with a soft, double-faced leather that the brand states will only get better over time. Needless to say, Markle isn't the only fan of the bags. "Lovely, practical, well-made handbag that I will use for years to come," raves one reviewer of the new mini. "The size is perfect for everyday errands, work, etc. Although I was drawn to the zipper opening of the larger version, the mini’s works just fine and is actually a little more secure in my opinion. Just beautiful!" High-quality construction, versatile *and* duchess-approved? Sign me up.
