Meghan Markle's 'As Ever' Range Sparks Debate: Luxury Lifestyle Products Pricey But Highly Sought After

Daily Record

Meghan Markle continues to make waves, and this time it's with the launch of her highly anticipated lifestyle brand, As Ever. The collection, featuring a curated selection of everyday essentials, has immediately captured the attention (and wallets) of fans, but also ignited a debate about luxury pricing and exclusivity.

The As Ever line, which launched to considerable fanfare, includes items like cashmere sweaters, silk scarves, and a selection of stationery – all promising a touch of Meghan’s signature elegance and understated style. What’s truly piqued the interest of many is the limited availability and, let's be honest, the premium price tags attached to each item. A simple notebook can set you back a significant sum, and the cashmere pieces are firmly in the investment dressing category.

The Price Point: Is It Worth It?

The pricing strategy has unsurprisingly drawn mixed reactions. While many loyal Meghan supporters are eager to snap up a piece of the ‘Meghan lifestyle’, others have questioned the value for money. Social media is buzzing with discussions about whether the prices are justified, particularly given the current economic climate. Some argue that the high cost reflects the quality of the materials and craftsmanship, while others believe it’s simply capitalizing on Meghan's star power.

“I’m a huge fan of Meghan, but I’m not sure I can justify spending that much on a notebook,” commented one Twitter user. “It’s beautiful, but there are plenty of other lovely notebooks out there for a fraction of the price.”

Limited Availability Fuels Demand

Adding to the frenzy is the deliberately limited availability of the As Ever products. This scarcity has created a sense of urgency and exclusivity, driving demand even higher. The brand has adopted a ‘drop’ model, releasing items in limited quantities, which only further fuels the desire amongst fans. Analysts suggest this strategy is designed to create a buzz and maintain a sense of desirability.

Beyond the Price Tag: What's the Appeal?

Despite the controversy surrounding the pricing, there’s no denying the appeal of the As Ever brand. Meghan’s personal style and her reputation for promoting conscious consumerism resonate with a large audience. The brand’s focus on timeless, high-quality pieces aligns with a growing trend towards investing in fewer, better-made items.

The launch of As Ever is more than just a product release; it's a statement about Meghan’s evolving brand and her continued influence in the fashion and lifestyle space. Whether you agree with the pricing or not, one thing is clear: Meghan Markle continues to command attention and generate conversation.

What's Next for As Ever?

The brand is expected to release further collections in the coming months, and all eyes will be on whether they maintain the current pricing strategy or adjust to address consumer feedback. One thing's for sure, the As Ever launch has firmly cemented Meghan Markle’s position as a major player in the luxury market.
