The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has launched the first Christmas line for her As Ever brand, which includes candles, honey, premium wine, and fruit jam sets.
On Instagram, the Duchess showed how she prepares meals and decorates her home for the holidays using her own products. The collection includes two signature candles: No. 519, dedicated to her wedding on May 19, 2018, with a scent of Moroccan mint, cardamom and tea leaves, and No. 084, in honor of her birthday on August 4, with notes of water lotus, sandalwood and California poppy, which, according to Meghan, conveys “the warmth of a family home”.
The holiday line also includes a vintage Napa Valley Brut made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, a $32 Sage Honeycomb Honey, and a $42 Signature Fruit Spread Gift Set that includes strawberry, raspberry, and orange marmalade.
This year, the brand has changed its packaging approach: instead of large individual cases, all products now come in branded boxes. In the past, excessive packaging has drawn criticism for impracticality and environmental concerns.
