Now There's Only One Way to Get the Sold-Out Bag Meghan Markle Made Famous
In case you were wondering how influential Meghan Markle's style is, let's review the numbers. Earlier this month, Markle made her first royal appearance since the engagement announcement carrying a bag by Edinburgh-based brand Strathberry. According to the label, the bag sold out in 11 minutes across all international retailers, resulting in a 5000% traffic increase on Strathberry's website. Impressive right?
Now, the brand is taking its newfound attention and doing something to give back. Strathberry is auctioning off the last currently available bag to benefit the same charity Markle and Prince Harry were promoting that day: the Terrence Higgins Trust, which advocates for equality and justice for people living with HIV and AIDS. The auction begins today at 3 p.m. EST and runs through Sunday, December 17, and you can make bids on the brand's website.
If you're willing to wait, however, Strathberry is doing another round of production for the bag soon—keep your eyes peeled.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 12 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of senior news editor (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
