Meghan Markle introduces her new brand dubbed As Ever as the Duchess of Sussex curates a collection of home and pantry goods. The brand releases jams and crepes, all of which contribute to the notion of a comfortable and cozy lifestyle. There is a sense of her Montecito sensibilities as the launch pairs elevated packaging with the homey concept.
The brand's logo also gives a slight nod to the Duke and Duchess's home in Montecito. The inaugural collection features a raspberry jam, wildflower honey, flower petal garnishes, and some French-style crepe shortbread cookie mixes. The spotlight hits the raspberry jam as Markle notes that it is the 'cornerstone' of the brand. All of the products are in a keepsake packaging to focus on sustainability and high quality.
