The Duchess of Sussex has released the second chapter of her holiday collection with her lifestyle brand As Ever, launching some brand new home products
Meghan Markle has launched the second chapter of her holiday collection with her brand As Ever, releasing new homeware products, Christmas treats and even a dog toy.
The Duchess of Sussex’s second holiday launch consists mostly of dinnerware and decor, with a selection of festive fragrances and a new range of hampers also on offer. Meghan shared the news of her new range on her brand’s Instagram account in a video showing the Duchess, dressed in a white dress, lighting candles, laying out chocolates and setting a Christmas table.
On offer in the second chapter of the holiday collection are two new products in collaboration with Los Angeles luxury chocolatier Compartes, including a gift box of five chocolate bars for $75 USD, or £56.
Also available is a bucket of chocolate covered popcorn for $65 (£48), as well as a new range of homewares for dressing your Christmas table. The brand has launched a selection of woven rattan coasters and place mats, alongside a white embroidered linen tablecloth for a whopping $398, or £297.
More homewares have also launched with the brand, including linen napkins, tea towels, a teacup and saucer set, a teapot, and a set of leather coasters. Numerous home scents have also been released, including room sprays, reed diffusers and candles. According to the As Ever website, the signature holiday scented candle “blends white pine, juniper berry, soft cashmere, and clove for a warm, festive fragrance that welcomes all.”
Meghan has also released an Italian leatherbound notebook, which features the phrase ‘a penny for your thoughts’ in Meghan’s personal penmanship. A new selection of luxury hampers are also available, each having a theme with their contents.
The most expensive offering is the Library Basket, which includes the leather notebook, set of leather coasters, a leather bookmark, a box of As Ever matches, two scented candles and a box of bespoke playing cards, which retails for $535 USD, or £399. Also newly available are the Candle Lover’s hamper, containing five scented candles, and the Afternoon Tea hamper, which includes various teas, chocolates, honeys and the signature As Ever fruit spread.
Another unusual item is also on offer in the holiday collection: a dog toy. The plush toy is designed in the shape and style of a jar of Meghan’s raspberry jam, and is available for $20, or £15. Meghan released the first chapter of her holiday collection in early October, after expressing her pride and gratitude in how her successful company has grown over the last 18 months.
Alongside a compilation video posted on Instagram, Meghan wrote in a lengthy caption: “When I was about eight years old I started my own business making handmade scrunchies I sewed on my grandmother’s Singer sewing machine and sold for $1 a piece. I sold Girl Scout cookies, had lemonade stands, worked in a frozen yogurt shop and had countless other jobs. My entrepreneurial spirit was always there.”
“As I shared years ago on The Tig (PS, love you ladies @thetiglets): ‘Behind every successful woman is herself’ – and that’s true… but there’s more: a community of love, a squad of support, an amazing team.”
“As I pinch myself looking at how this brand has grown, and as we introduce our holiday collection, I feel very proud, and grateful. A huge thanks to my team at As Ever. So proud of what we are creating together. Thanks for helping bring this vision to life.”
