It's no secret that whatever Duchess Kate is seen wearing - whether high street or designer, dress, bag, shoe or fascinator - it is guaranteed to become an instant sell-out.

Admirers of the blue tweed Rebecca Taylor suit that Kate wore to a reception in London last week, may have noticed that this too suffered such a fate - having been available to buy online at US store Bergdorf Goodman that morning, but selling out by the end of the day.

Well now the smart people behind the Rebecca Taylor brand have decided to reissue the past season suit in order to cater for all the royal copycats (or copy-Kates), with both the skirt and jacket reappearing on the designer's official website earlier today (with a special notice flagging it up on the homepage, no less.)

Hmm. We're on the fence with this one, but what do you think? Hurrah to a brand recognising what the public wants and giving it to them? Or boo to a brand cashing in on a opportunity to sell old season stock at full price?
