Meghan Markle often wears her black velvet slippers, worn across more than a decade: from her Suits days, through royal tours, and well into her post-royal life. Velvet loafers like these are so versatile because they strike a rare balance between softness and structure. They’re easy to slip on and comfortable enough to wear for hours on end.
While the actual pair Meghan wore are only available to buy outside of the UK, you don’t need to look far to recreate the same laid-back chic. We’ve found an affordable alternative from House of Bruar, a British label with strong royal credentials – and one Princess Catherine is frequently spotted wearing. Better still, they’re currently 50% off in the sale.
The House of Bruar velvet moccasins have a classic slipper silhouette with a softly pointed toe. Made from plush velvet, they feel luxurious without being flashy. They’re available in sizes 3, 4, 5 and 7, and while black is a timeless choice, the style also comes in rich navy and chocolate tones for those who prefer something a little softer.
Now priced at just £19.95, they’re an easy way to channel a well-loved royal look without the international shipping or designer price tag.
