Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall has given us all the style inspiration as she accessorised with a raffia bag for her latest royal engagement.

The 73-year-old royal attended a ribbon cutting ceremony at the new Tintagel bridge in Cornwall, England, on 20 July.

She was accompanied with husband Prince Charles, the Duke of Cornwall, for the event.

Camilla opted for a pale blue checked short-sleeve dress for the occasion, which she accessorised with a pair of tan pointed toe heels.

However, it was her raffia bag, which has attracted our attention.

The duchess completed her look with the Savannah Bay Mini Bamboo bag, which boasts a woven raffia body, a bamboo handle and a quirky suede tassel on the side.

The chic design is 100% natural, and costs £250 from Heidi Klein.

But this is not the first time she has completed her look with the bag.

Back in March 2019 Camilla was spotted holding the dainty design during her royal tour of Cuba.

The accessory is ideal for wearing with a dress and heels like the duchess, or for a more casual outing, as it can double up as a beach bag, according to the website.

Raffia bags are all the trend this summer, and vary in sizes from miniature to oversized designs.

For those who want to follow in the Duchess of Cornwall’s fashion footsteps can do so but for a fraction of a price, as there is a huge variety of similar bags available to buy from high street stores.

While some may prefer hand held bags, others may prefer versions with a long strap to wear over the shoulder.

So whatever your style preference there is something to suit everyone’s needs and budgets.
