Tour Poll #3: Kate’s Accessories

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.

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.

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.
