4 Royals gave the suede trend the royal seal of approval

The suede trend is taking over Winter 2026 and has become the most sought-after style, whether it’s a jacket, boot, or belt—but this season, suede bags are taking centre stage. After being spotted on global A-list style setters, the trend has gained fresh momentum, with world royals giving it their royal seal of approval. Embracing the rich texture of suede and its luxurious look, it’s the perfect way to elevate any wardrobe.

Queen Rania

Her Majesty Queen Rania, an iconic fashion figure, knows how to incorporate fashion into her own signature style. She doesn’t follow trends; she creates them. But this season, even Her Majesty couldn’t resist the charm of one of the It bags.

Spotted carrying THE ATTICO La Passeggiata tote in olive green, the bag is perfect for work meetings, exactly how the Queen was wearing it, paired with an olive-green Alaïa suit. Her Majesty was headed to meet the US Second Lady in full majestic glam. The tote design has a relaxed, asymmetric silhouette, and tubular handles give it a chic yet casual look that works from errands to more polished occasions. Was the bag worth the hype? Absolutely.

Princess of Wales

Her Royal Highness Catherine, Princess of Wales, has been spotted multiple times having her suede moment, sending this DeMellier bag viral. The Princess, known for her impact on the fashion industry, was seen wearing the mocha Small Hudson suede DeMellier bag. Its design is ideal for daily essentials, while the sumptuous suede finish and gold-plated hardware transition seamlessly from day to evening. True to her famously “Kate Middleton Effect”, the bag was sold out and is now available for preorder. 

Princess Rajwa Al Hussein

Her Royal Highness Princess Rajwa of Jordan has given her royal approval to the suede trend, fully embracing it. Known for her love of mixing luxury fashion with high-end street style, the Jordanian Princess was recently seen carrying the COS ‘Gallery’ Suede Handbag in black. The handbag combines minimalist ’90s-inspired design with everyday practicality, creating a timeless yet contemporary look, exactly the kind of aesthetic Her Highness is known for.

Queen Letizia of Spain 

Her Majesty Queen Letizia is one of the few royals who embraced the suede trend before it gained momentum. Whether carrying designs from Magrit, one of Spain’s most luxurious handbag brands, or from Massimo Dutti, the Queen, a global fashion icon, has long been a true suede devotee
