Queen Camilla's £10k church outfit features rare vintage Chanel bag

Camilla appeared to be wearing a silk scarf that she wore on Christmas Day, tucked into the neckline of the coat. The sumptuous white coat in question was by one of her favourite designers, Fiona Clare. The bespoke company encourages customers to head to the brand's studio for a consultation, so the fit is supremely crafted. Coats by Fiona Clare cost around £6,000 a piece. 

The designer previously told HELLO! in 2019 that dressing royalty is a true pinnacle moment in her career. "The day I received a call from Jacqui Meakin - HRH The Duchess of Cornwall's (as she was then known) dresser - was a jewel in the crown!"

The designer added, "I feel very proud to be one of her team and absolutely love creating for her; it is a wonderful feeling to see her in a photograph looking amazing."

Thanks to The Royal Fashion Police Instagram account, who totted up the total cost of Camilla's outfit (£11,695), we know that the royal also wore: the Russell and Bromley 'Dressage' knee-high black suede boots, which have a price tag of £445; the 'Estate' hat by Lock & Co, which comes in at £312; Ede & Ravenscroft faux fur leather gloves, which cost £71; and her beautiful black quilted 'Mini Top Handle' bag by Chanel, which cost around £3,350 at the time of purchase. 

Speaking of her elite piece of arm candy, Camilla's vintage Chanel bag is a truly exquisite item. It comes in the brand's classic black caviar leather and features silver hardware. Chanel is widely seen as an investment fashion brand, as their pieces increase in value over time, making them a significant hand-me-down item. Seen as a style 'treasure', people often pay a premium price to get their hands on a sought-after, special edition item like Camilla's. After all, owning a Chanel bag is a little bit like investing in history. Released in February 1955, the 'Classic Flap' bag was created by Coco Chanel to combine beauty and practicality perfectly.
