It’s no secret that Princess Kate is one of the best dressed Royals of our generation. Her wardrobe seems to be filled with stylish, classic pieces that stand the test of time. One of Catherine’s go-to staples that embodies this is her Penelope Chilvers Long Tassel Boots, which she’s been sporting for more than 20 years.

Most recently, the Princess of Wales donned them in her birthday video in which she was seen wandering through the British countryside – she wore her cherished Conker-hued pair to complement the rural aesthetic. Whilst her brown version costs £485, its black hue has been reduced by a whopping 50%, bringing the cost down to £242.

Crafted from sustainably sourced Spanish leather, the boots are designed in London and manufactured in Europe, ensuring they’ll endure years of regular use. The Long Tassel Boots are available in European sizes ranging from 35 to 42, including half sizes – though, unsurprisingly, sizes are starting to go out of stock thanks to the sale price.

One of the most desirable features of the Penelope Chilvers boots is their availability in two leg lengths – regular and tall – as well as standard and ‘generous’ calf widths, ensuring customers can achieve an ideal fit. The boots have a streamlined design that hugs close to the ankle for a more elegant, feminine appearance.

The boots feature a scallop trim on the zip panel, and the zip pull is adorned with a leather tassel, hence their name. The Long Tassel Boots are partially lined with deerskin for added warmth and have a rubber tread sole for added grip, which makes them able to even withstand icy conditions, making them an ideal practical choice for winter, reports the Mirror.

Similar styles without quite so much an eyewatering price tag can be found at Duo Boots, which also offers a wide range of calf sizes. Alongside the shoe size – with UK2 to UK10 available – shoppers can choose from calf widths ranging from 30cm to 50cm, increasing in 2-3cm increments, providing ample options for a perfect fit.

Jones Bootmaker also boasts a fantastic selection of wide calf boots, many of which are currently on sale with discounts up to £130. Their collection includes everything from heeled leather boots to suede flat-soled ones, ensuring there’s a style to complement any wardrobe.

However, given that Princess Kate’s Long Tassel Boots have been her staple for over two decades, it’s safe to say these are a worthwhile investment that will stand the test of time. And with a current discount of 50%, they offer even better value for money.
