The mother of two told the New York Times that she purchased a stake in Cesta Collective, a company that has been selling these handbags since 2018.<\/p>\n

These handbags are woven by women in Rwanda and then sent to Italy to enhance their quality. Meghan Markle revealed that 2023 was the first time she carried a Cesta Collective handbag, during an outing with her husband Prince Harry, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Cameron Diaz.<\/p>\n

She shared that she discovered these handbags online, as she spends a significant amount of time on the internet looking for new trends and innovations from around the world. <\/p>\n

According to Meghan Markle, what motivated her to invest in Cesta Collective was its alignment with her goal of empowering or supporting female artisans to improve their livelihoods and ensure they receive fair wages.<\/p>\n

She stated, “With Cesta Collective, I have begun to understand the number of women whose lives have been transformed through their work, and that is something very valuable to me.”<\/p>\n
