We are back with our third and final Royal Tour poll, this one looking at accessories: bags, shoes, jewelry and a few miscellaneous items. Many of the items will look familiar, there are also few new pieces in the mix we think everyone will enjoy seeing again. The post is broken into four polls; one on handbags, another for shoes, a third for jewelry and a final mini-poll on things that stand on their own.
Bags:
Our first item is the clutch carried for the couple’s arrival in Singapore when Kate was in the pink Jenny Packham dress, it was also carried for the Solomon Islands arrival, accessorizing the Jonathan Saunders Evelyn. Some believe this is a Jimmy Choo Cosma bag.
With her Erdem dress at the Eden Hall reception in Singapore Kate carried another UFO (Unidentified Fashion Object) clutch.
We saw the return of the Anya Hindmarch Bespoke Maud, it was seen at the State Dinner in Singapore, Kate was wearing her Prabal Gurung dress for that event.
The Wilbur and Gussie ‘Charlie’ also made another appearance, it was carried to the State Dinner in Malaysia, accessorizing Kate’s Alexander McQueen gown.
We saw the Russell and Bromley ‘Muse’ return in Singapore, accessorizing the white broderie anglaise McQueen suit.
LK Bennett’s Natalie was back for the tour, including Kate & William’s visit to the Mosque in Malaysia, as well as the British-Malaysia Chamber of Commerce luncheon.
During the trip to Sabah in Malaysia we saw Kate with one of her many Longchamp Le Pliage totes on the helicopter.
Shoes:
Kate started the tour in her LK Bennett Taupe Sledge pumps, seen in Singapore.
Kate’s Stuart Weitzman Corkswoon wedge was seen on multiple occasions, including the couple’s day in Singapore.
There was an addition to the ‘Sledge family,’ we saw Kate wear the Sledge in Off White.
The LK Bennett Harper was back, worn with the Erdem dress to the reception at British High Commissioner’s residence in Singapore, more in this post.
For the formal dinner in Malaysia Kate brought out a new pair of Jimmy Choo heels, the Dart. (With thanks to WKW Facebook friend Sarah for identifying these.)
Kate’s black Prada heels returned, worn with the creamy white and purple Prabal Gurung dress for the State Dinner in Singapore.
For the day in Borneo’s rainforest, Kate opted to wear her Brasher Hillmaster GTX boots.
The Stuart Weitzman Minx returned.
We briefly saw Kate wear her trusty Pied a Terre Imperia wedges when departing Kota Kinabalu and journeying to the Solomon Islands.
And that covers the footwear.
JEWELRY:
Annoushka Pearl Drops set in 18K gold. “Created in 18ct yellow gold and pearl, these Pearl Earring Drops look stunning on our Eclipse 18ct yellow gold and diamond Porcupine Hoop Earrings.”
Diamond Drops with Aqua-ish/Blue-ish prong set center stone, possibly a custom version of the Kiki McDonough earrings shown below.
Once again we saw the diamond and sapphire earrings that were re-fashioned from a pair of Princess Diana’s, below we show them (barely) during the couple’s time at Gardens by the Bay in Singapore.
For the State Dinner in Malaysia the Duchess wore pieces by Catherine Zoraida, including the artisan’s Double Leaf Earrings.
Kate also wore the Scales (Spread Your Wings)Bracelet by Ms Zoraida.
Also new to the mix, Kate’s Red Sponge Coral earrings by Serretta, worn with the TAV pacific dress for the Governor General’s dinner in
Kate reprised her Kiki McDonough Citrine Drop earrings to go with the yellow Jaeger dress worn throughout the day in Honiara, Solomon Islands.
We saw another new pair of earrings on the tour, Kate wore the Azuni Disc Studs with Drop Stone from the company’s Athena collection.
That concludes our look at jewelry.
Miscellaneous Accessories: A few items stood out as meriting another look, either because they were unusual, or their inclusion in another category really didn’t make sense.
The parasol carried after the wreath laying at the Kranji War Memorial in Singapore, as William and Kate toured the Cemetery following the ceremony.
The Jane Taylor bespoke hat worn for the Solomon Islands arrival with the Jonathan Saunders Evelyn dress.
Kate’s elegant pearl hair accessories wowed many of her fashion followers.
At the gala dinner in Tuvalu Kate was given a traditional skirt to wear atop her ALICE by Temperley Beatrice dress.
Kate wearing a traditional Tuvaluan Fou, a floral head dressing, at Funafuti.
We’ll be back shortly with a look at Kate’s outing to a friend’s wedding today, a giveaway and an app update, there is another one that is now available.

ID INCORRECT: I'm more convinced that Kate's Hiking boot choice was the Brasher New Hillmaster II GTX http://www.brasher.co.uk/catalogue/products/hillmaster-r-ii-gtx-r-b-10005cbk Please update me!

Like most of the jewellry and accessorise - difficult to choose between them.
I voted for the citrine drop earrings because I have a pair myself and I love wearing them. However, I think I like the green amethyst and diamond earrings a touch more - wish my husband will get me a pair (or similar).
Well done to the Duchess on her choice of jewellry and accessories.

As far as the lavender satin clutch she carried with her Erdem dress, I'd think it's a bespoke McQueen skull clutch-- she often has the skull removed (as seen with the red clutch she carried for the Diamond Jubilee Pageant). It's the right size and shape!

I want a pair of those Brasher Hillmaster GTX boots. They look like you could wear them for miles without killing your feet and still look put together when you reach your destination.
