Meghan Markle and her dazzling handbag in the business world

Meghan Markle is not just about charity and being Prince Harry’s wife—she’s got a serious business brain too. Here’s the Duchess of Sussex’s latest obsession: a chic bucket bag from Cesta Collective. But it wasn’t just a fling with fashion! Meghan Markle liked the accessory so much, she decided to invest in the brand that made it. 

It all started when the mother of two was scrolling through the web, hunting for a new fashionable piece. She stumbled upon Cesta Collective, and after rocking one of their bags on a dinner date with Prince Harry, the handbag flew off the shelves. The brand’s founders, Erin Ryder and Courtney Weinblatt Fasciano, quickly turned Meghan Markle’s admiration into a business partnership with the Duchess investing in a minority stake. 

“We knew there had to be some reason that these were selling so quickly, so Courtney did some internet sleuthing to find out. We had more sales in one day than we’ve ever had.”

With Meghan Markle’s savvy eye and global influence, it’s clear that she’s both a super mom and a real fashion influencer.
