Official supplier to the crown

If the tribute attracts attention, it is not the first time that the wife of King Charles III has chosen to wear a piece of Launer leather goods.

Official supplier to the crown since 1968, the British manufacturer even received Camilla Parker Bowls during a visit to its workshop in January 2020. However, since the funeral of her mother-in-law, she has clearly shown her intention to take up the torch, by invariably illustrating the weeks following the ceremony with its model: the Tosca.

Minimalist and rigid, devoid of handle, and only adorned with the logo of the brand, a golden buckle, this leather minaudière marketed at the price of 2190€ is presented by Launer as being the favorite of the Duchess of Cornwall.

An elongated handle, compartments, silk lining and the famous logo in the form of a cross link: the accessory, invariably hanging on the arm of the Queen of England, had become inseparable from her silhouette.

All her life, the sovereign has been faithful to this model of bag designed specifically for her by the London manufacturer.

This tailor-made design has not failed to fuel rumors about the size of his personal collection, which would amount to 200 pieces for some, but which in reality only includes around fifteen models at most. according to Launer.

Still, after her death, the fate of the noble leather goods heritage remains mysterious, the details of the Queen's will being kept secret.
