– long story:
The story of the loyalty between Queen Elizabeth and Launer bags began at the end of the 1960s. She has always preferred black bags, which she rarely replaces with a white or cream bag. In 1968, the house was asked to present the Queen with a design for a bag that only she would wear. Since then, the Queen receives regarding 5 new bags from the brand every year, specially designed to suit her sizes.
She always preferred classic designs with a handle that was a little longer than usual, rather than a bag devoid of any zippers or shoulder straps. The Queen always requested that the bag have a larger than usual pocket in the back, as well as an inner coin pocket and a small mirror.
