Meghan Markle’s lifestyle brand has launched its first holiday collection ahead of the festive season with special homages to both her children and her husband, Prince Harry.
For the last few days, the Duchess of Sussex has been teasing a new range of products for As Ever, which she launched earlier this year.
“Every elegant gift and epicurean delight in our Holiday Collection shares the joyful, welcoming feeling the holidays bring to our founder’s family home, and invites you to bring that same warmth and beauty to yours,” the brand wrote in a news release.
“From the golden glimmer of raw honeycomb to the sweet aroma of spiced cider, every treat and treasure in the collection adds beauty and warmth to special occasions and cozy moments alike—because gathering is the greatest gift of all.”
Some of the new items Meghan has introduced in the latest drop include two scented candles, both retailing for $64.
The candles are named after significant dates in Meghan’s life. Signature Candle No. 519 is a nod to her May 19 wedding anniversary with Harry. It is described as “bright and refreshing, with quietly grounding notes of Moroccan mint leaf, white tea leaves, and a back note of woodsy cardamom.”
Signature Candle No. 084 pays homage to Meghan’s August 4 birthday. It is described as “elegant, effortless and warm.”
The brand is also getting into the holiday spirit with spice kits to help customers make their own cider or mulled wine in their own home. Each blend yields eight servings and sells for $16.
The holiday collection also allows customers to purchase special bundles meant for gifting, including the signature fruit spread gift set, consisting of the strawberry spread, raspberry spread and orange marmalade for $42.
Another option is the honey duo gift set for $62, which includes a jar each of the wildflower and orange blossom honeys.
Meghan is also ringing in the holiday season with a new champagne, likely meant to be used to help everyone toast to the upcoming new year. Retailing for $89 per bottle, the 2021 Vintage Napa Valley Brut is produced using the traditional méthode champenoise from pinot noir and chardonnay grapes. The sparkling offers “crisp notes of green apple, pear and citrus,” and is presented in a matte black bottle embossed with gold details.
The duchess first launched her As Ever brand in April, with her first round of products quickly selling out within one hour of being available for purchase.
