Yes. It's quite amazing what she has been able to already do for smaller brands. Some pretty amazing stories from those companies just during the engagement. And as I consumer I do appreciate her putting more options forward, although my wallet has a different opinion.
My bank account was like "are we sure" when I got Strathberrys ??? Although I am glad I got two when I did because they have REALLY increased the price
I think the story of the Welsh jeans is really great. They are on my list as well.
IMO Meghan has brought some really, really local brands to the international spotlight in a way few royals have for the BRF.
Hmm, that's interesting about Strathberry. But I suppose supply and demand is the normal part of business. I believe Strathberry auctioned off the last bag that's like Meghan's Nottingham bag from that lot for charity. Not sure if they've subsequently restocked, but it was a nice gesture from them. I usually don't like buying bags until I've seen them in person, and I haven't had time to go track them down at Saks yet (which I believe is the only retailer in US for them?).
I do like these nice stories. Very uplifting. Especially when you hear about smaller businesses that really needs that boost. I loved her Burberry pants that sold out too, but that's probably a much smaller boost to their bottom line percentage wise.
Yes, that! I couldn't figure out what was wrong with that dress for me and this is the reason. It's a great dress, but not for TTC.
