Pippa Middleton has a new bag—the “Romina” by Aruna Seth—and we got the inside scoop on the style straight from the London accessories designer. “Pippa and Kate both love black suede, so you can see why the Romina fits in seamlessly into Pippa’s wardrobe,” Seth told InStyle.com exclusively. And with the comfortable shoulder strap and multiple interior compartments, it’s easy to see why Miss Middleton scooped it up. “It’s the ultimate everyday bag,” added Seth, who also designed the butterfly crystal pumps Pippa wore to the Royal Wedding reception. “For Pippa this works since she’s a busy woman on the go.” Shop the style for $920 at arunaseth.com.
