Cuyana Is Definitely Meghan Markle's Fave Handbag Line

The list of things we have in common with Meghan Markle is pretty short, but we do share a love of Cuyana, a gorgeous, female-founded fashion brand.

In fact, Meg's been spotted carrying Cuyana's sleek and simple designs on a few separate occasions.  

For the uninitiated, Cuyana literally means “to love” in Quechua, and it could not be more accurate. Cuyana, along with its nonprofit partner, H.E.A.R.T., will donate your unwanted items to women in need and give you a ThredUp and Cuyana credit toward a future purchase.

Learn more about the partnership here, then scroll through to see which styles the Duchess of Sussex can't get enough of.

Classic Structured Leather Tote

Most recently, Markle carried a Cuyana tote with her as she supported bestie Serena Williams at Wimbledon on July 4.

She opted for a casual look, featuring a white pinstripe blazer, matching hat and high-waisted skinny jeans, which are surprisingly still in stock. (They’re made by Outland Denim and retail for $195.)

Markle accessorized the look with gold-plated stud earrings by Pippa Small Nosheen, along with an 18-karat-gold chain necklace by Verse, which features the letter “A” for Archie.

The timeless tote is made with Italian leather and microsuede lining, and can be monogrammed with your initial (Her Royal Highness's is inked with a tiny gold "M."

Le Sud Leather Weekender

Back in February, Markle jetted off to New York City for her baby shower, and she adopted the unofficial NYC dress code while she was here: all-black everything. That included her accessories, like Cuyana's gorgeous weekender bag.

This time, her bag included a shout-out to her husband, Prince Harry—a monogrammed "H." 

The exact style the duchess carried is no longer available, but Cuyana has a number of fabulous options for overnight and weekend trips.

Mini Chain Saddle Bag

A few months before that, in October, Markle carried Cuyana on yet another continent—this time, Australia.

The duchess was spotted carrying Cuyana's super-chic mini chain saddle bag in a gorgeous beige hue that made us want to toss aside our totes and top handles and replace them with delicate crossbodies immediately. 

Like her go-to weekender, this exact bag is sold out, but again, the brand has a bunch of gorgeous crossbody bags to pick up instead.
