Kate once again demonstrated her style during her visit to textile manufacturers in Suffolk and Kent. The princess toured two historic mills to celebrate the work of those who keep British handmade fabrics alive.
First, she visited Sudbury Silk Mill, a family business with over three centuries of history in the heart of Suffolk. There, she was welcomed by Jamie Lowther Pinkerton, and Kate had the opportunity to learn firsthand how silk fabrics are made.
Later, she moved to Cuxton, Kent, where the Marina Mill team was waiting for her. This workshop, also a family business, preserves the tradition of designing and printing fabrics by hand, using techniques that are now considered a treasure.
The princess didn’t just observe; she actively participated in the screen printing process, a gesture that delighted the workers.
As for her look, Kate opted for a Bella Freud ensemble in a Prince of Wales check, a perfect nod to British tradition on a day dedicated to craftsmanship.
She paired the suit with a black top, her classic Stuart Weitzman pumps, and gold jewelry by Daniella Draper, including diamond hoop earrings and a necklace with an initial.
A polished, practical style with that elegant touch that always accompanies her.
