Kate and Meghan love this elegant shoe brand, and it's perfect for wedding season

As coveted as a royal warrant can be for a brand, it’s not the only way to receive the seal of approval from the monarchy. The Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Sussex have become symbols of elegant style internationally and, in turn, the brands that they step out wearing often achieve sell-out demand.

Royal engagements can require standing on one’s feet for long periods of time, so choosing footwear becomes arguably the most important part of any outfit — especially for the person wearing it. Kate and Meghan are both fans of a sleek high heel, and there’s one brand in particular that the two share a fondness of: British shoe designer Jennifer Chamandi.

Chamandi worked as a senior banker before pivoting to her passion for creating beautiful footwear. In 2016, she launched her namesake brand, which sought to offer elevated, elegant footwear for the modern woman. You can expend to find delicate mesh flats with pointed capped-toes, playful pastel heels embellished with origami-style bows, and feminine block-heel slingbacks while perusing her collection.

Her signature, the ‘Eye of the Needle’ detail, can be found in the heels of her designs, and in the almost-decade since launching, Chamandi’s heels have gone on to be worn by royals and C-suite women alike. The London-based brand has also expanded into a curated selection of contemporary-classic handbags which mirror the sleek sophistication of its sister shoe line.

The Princess of Wales has been spotted wearing Jennifer Chamandi on multiple occasions, favouring the styles particularly for Royal Ascot. The brand has racked up a roster of celebrity clientele in the almost-decade since its inception, from Gwyneth Paltrow to Kelly Rutherford and Salma Hayek. The designer’s two-tone Lorenzo heels have become particularly popular with the royals, with Meghan and Kate both having been photographed in the black and nude colourways.

Beyond royal engagements, the styles make for an ideal accompaniment to formal events or weddings, and will serve your workwear wardrobe equally well. Below, shop our favourite Jennifer Chamandi styles to shop now.
