Downton Abbey [1] fans who paid close attention to the show's fashion [2] won't be too surprised to learn that Michelle Dockery, aka Lady Mary Crawley, has decided to prove her style prowess IRL. The actress teamed up with the British brand Aspinal of London to create a range of totes for both men and women, including a structured feminine piece named The Dockery Snap Bag ($870). The new line of accessories are polished and practical, and it's likely Kate Middleton, among other royals, have already begun eyeing it.
The duchess actually met Michelle during a Downton Abbey set visit [3] last year, and, coincidentally, has carried Aspinal of London bags in the past. Basically, we're saying that should she scoop up one of Michelle's totes, it would be fate — or pretty close to it. Scroll on to see a snap from when the two stylish ladies met, then shop the Dockery bags below.
