Whenever the Duchess of Sussex makes a public appearance, whatever she wears very often quickly sells out. Worldwide consumers either rush to nearby stores or to the stores’ online websites to place an order; simply because they adore the Duchess’ look. Many consumers also purchase items because they share the Duchess’ beliefs in the causes the brands she chooses to represent:

• Empowerment of a small business, particularly those owned and operated by women
• Fair and equal treatment of workers
• Sustainability
