What happens when a Duchess dips her toes into the unpredictable waters of fashion entrepreneurship? Apparently, you get a whole lot of excitement—and a dash of drama! Meghan Markle, famously known as the Duchess of Sussex, is shaking things up in the fashion world by investing in Cesta Collective, a handbag company that empowers female artisans in Rwanda. Yes, you read that right—Meghan isn’t just about royal duties and public appearances anymore; she’s all about supporting those who need it most, one handbag at a time.
You can’t help but marvel at the impact Meghan’s star power has on these brands. Cesta’s sales skyrocketed after she was spotted sporting one of their bags—seriously, it sold out in just 11 minutes! Talk about the Midas touch! And if that wasn’t enough, her affection for Kimaï, a lab-grown jewelry company, has also propelled them into the spotlight, proving that a little sparkle from the Duchess can go a long way.
However, it’s not all smooth sailing for the Duchess. With her own lifestyle brand, the dauntingly-named American Riviera Orchard, beset by trademark hiccups and a CEO search more tangled than last year’s Christmas lights—it’s clear the royal road can be a bumpy one.
So, as Meghan juggles her ambitious projects and strives to champion emerging designers, we can’t help but wonder: Can a handbag truly change the world? Maybe not alone, but it certainly can make quite a fashion statement! If you’re curious about how Meghan balances the challenges with the fashion magic, you might want to read on.
