May 14, 2023These Trainers Remain The Princess Of Wales’s Go
Jan 17, 2024Today the Princess of Wales is in Bath visiting the Dame Kelly Holmes Trust to mark Mental Health Awareness Week, a charity that supports young people through a number of wellbeing and mentoring programmes.
Kate activated summer mode for today's visit, wearing a sunshine yellow blazer with white tailored trousers. Kate's punchy yellow blazer is from one of her favourite British high street brands, LK Bennett, and she paired it with a white T-shirt in an elevated ribbed knit and high-waisted ivory trousers with a slim leg by Alexander McQueen (which she has worn previously), with a matching leather belt.

The Princess joined in with some of the activities and so opted for a pair of practical, sporty white trainers by Veja. Kate has been a fan of the Esplar leather and suede low-top sneakers, which are ethically made in Brazil, for some time. The rubber soles are harvested sustainably from the Amazonian rainforest and are also made with sugar cane and recycled EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate), while the inside lining is also made of organic cotton and recycled plastic bottles.

The French trainer brand has an impressive celebrity fan club, including Emma Watson and Emily Ratajkowski, who have helped the sustainable label become a household name since it launched in 2004. Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, also wore the trainers during the royal tour of Australia, opting for the Esplars in white with black detailing.

his royal endorsement unsurprisingly caused surge in demand, as online searches at the time increased by 113 per cent. Veja co-founder Sébastien Kopp explained to British Vogue at the time that the Meghan effect isn't an important part of Veja's success story – "I’m sorry but I don't know who she is. Sometimes it makes me sad that because a princess wears Veja people are interested in the project. But that's the way our society is."
