Mario Hernandez crafts special bag for visiting Duchess of Cornwall

04/11/2014
Mario Hernandez, the Colombian leathergoods designer who owns 60 stores in Central America and the Caribbean, presented the Duchess of Cornwall with a bespoke snakeskin bag as she arrived in his home country at the beginning of an official tour.

Camilla and Prince Charles have accepted the invitation of President Juan Manuel Santos Calderón, and hope their visit will boost relations with the country. The tour will also take in sites in Mexico.

Olga Lucia de Hernandez, Mr Hernandez's wife and business partner, said they had designed Camilla’s evening bag with her official engagements in mind, and had also presented a more casual bag that they hope she will take back to the UK for Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge.
