We know that, like her husband Prince William, Kate Middleton is committed to promoting a more eco-friendly life and following a sustainable attitude – so it’s no surprise that she’s got plenty of use out of an iconic bag she was first seen carrying back in 2005.

The Le Pliage Tote is a popular bag with people across the world – and the Princess of Wales has been proudly sporting hers since her days at the University of St Andrews.

If you’re looking for an accessory that you can proudly take with you from the office to dinner – but you’re not quite sure about the hefty cost of Princess Kate’s Le Pliage tote – you’re in luck.

The Le Pliage Tote is beloved by women everywhere because it has that rare quality of merging fashion with function.

Considered one of the best laptop-ready tote bags on the market, it’s made to withstand a busy schedule, made from a lightweight nylon material and features sturdy leather straps plus a durable zipper across the top.

Taking inspiration from Origami, the Le Pilage is designed to be lightweight and foldable - perfect for slipping into your handbag or tucking away when not needed.

It also comes in a range of colours and even sizes, with the likes of Jennifer Lopez preferring to opt for the smaller Le Pliage (no laptops or work essentials in this one).
