INSIDE MEGHAN’S WOKEDR OBE

From gender-neutral knitwear to shoes made from recycled bottles...

FANCY FOOTWEAR

WhaT better for a walk about on her tour of south africa last summer? But of course, these were no mere high street pumps.

The woke credentials of the £150 Brother Vellies huaraches shoes are right up Meghan’s street – the brand launched in 2013 as a way of spotlighting the work of artisans in ethiopia, Kenya and Morocco. each pair is handmade with sustainable leather that is a by-product of other industries.

scraps and offcuts are then used for other products such as Brother Minis, the brands kids’ shoes, which would doubtless be perfect for archie.

ONE STYLE FITS ALL

PerhaPs no surprises in Meghan’s choice of a haiti-born designer for an interview to mark the beginning of Black history Month. But to emphasise her all- encompassing attitude, Meghan’s asymmetric camel-coloured top was, in fact, unisex. Designer Victor Glemaud says he’s all about inclusivity, however, at £290, the price isn’t quite so accessible.

VERY FASHIONABLE FRIEND OF THE EARTH

MeGhan’s 2018 tour of australia, new Zealand and Fiji was peppered with ethical fashion choices.

Take her casual striped maxi dress for a stroll around australia’s Fraser Island.

It cost £166 from U.s. brand reformation, which prides itself on using sustainable materials rescued from unsold fabrics and repurposed vintage clothing.

Then, in new Zealand, Meghan went for a custom dress from a native designer with oodles of ethical credentials thrown in.

she wowed fans in her white tuxedo dress from Kiwi brand Maggie Marilyn, which uses organic cottons, ethically produced silks and recycled metals that are not harmful to the environment.

GOING GREEN AT A PRICE

FOR her final outing as a senior member of the Royal Family at March’s Commonwealth Day service, Meghan put on an elegant — and expensive — eco display. With her bespoke Emilia Wickstead dress, Meghan carried a £1,695 Demi bag by New York-based designer Gabriela Hearst. Hearst is a purveyor of ‘slow fashion’; 99 per cent of her textiles are sustainable, with a focus on zero waste, upcycling and eco-conscious processes. Think cardboard hangers, compostable plastic and humanely farmed leather.
