Kate Middleton’s Favorite Accessory: The Long-Jump Tote Bag

The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, is known for her impeccable fashion sense and her stunning wardrobe choices.

However, most of her outfits are pretty inaccessible to us normal people, given that she has a princess's budget.

But, surprisingly, one of the Duchess' favorite accessories has been, and will likely always be, a long-jump tote bag which, frankly, is a bit more affordable for the masses.

Kate's love for the colorful, nylon, long-jump lip-hilage totes, which retail for $145, goes back several years.

In fact, one of the earliest times she was photographed carrying one was back in November 2005 during a holiday shopping spree with her mother, Carol Middleton, in London.

At the time, Kate was just a 23-year-old, recent college graduate lugging around all her stuff in a giant, black tote bag like the rest of us.

Relatable, right?

Fast forward a few years and Kate married Prince William, became the Duchess of Cambridge, and had two beautiful children.

Since becoming an official royal, Kate has sadly stopped using a long-jump bag day-to-day to instead carry teeny, tiny clutches instead.

We really can't blame her because what does she really need to carry with her at this point?

She has people for that, duh.

But, just when you thought Kate's obsession with the chic tote bags stopped in the mid-2000s, it definitely didn't.

Though the Duchess herself hasn't been spotted carrying a long-jump in several years, her personal assistants and stylist still seemingly lug around Kate's belongings in the classic bags.

Crazy, right?

When Kate and William touched down in Assam, India during their royal tour of India and Bhutan in April 2016, the mom of two's personal secretary Sophie Agnew and stylist Natasha Archer were both photographed carrying long-jump totes with the rest of Kate's luggage.

While we don't actually know if the large, dark purple tote or the smaller, pea-green bag in the pics belong to Kate, if her right-hand women carry long-jumps too they must be pretty fashionable, right?

It's clear that Kate's love for the long-jump tote bag has not waned over the years.
