Duchess Sophie Just Carried the Most Unique (and Spring-Ready) Two-Tone Bag

Amidst the pomp and ceremony, Sophie chose to carry the Box Crescent style in duck egg blue and white (the brand refers to this hue as diamond) and bottle green. I love the structured square shape of the bag, but also its easy elegance and the fact that it can be worn multiple ways. (Sophie carried hers as a clutch, but this particular Strathberry style also comes with a wide leather strap and a gold chain, that are interchangeable and make the style extra versatile.)

Back to the color palette: The blue and white is said to have been inspired by the Ibiza landscapes—in particular, the blue sky and white-washed architecture there—but it also happens to be the perfect two-tone colorway for spring. That said, the style comes in a whopping 12 different hues. I’ve selected some of my favorite colorways below.

Back to the significance of the Entente Cordiale: The ceremony celebrates Anglo-French relations and a series of agreements signed between the two nations in 1904 that laid the foundation for a long-standing relationship between England and France. Sophie and Edward were on hand to honor the occasion, but also to inspect the troops from both nations on behalf of the king.

Bonus points to Sophie for doing it so stylishly.
