Meghan Markle launches luxury Advent calendar with Compartés

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has launched a limited-edition luxury Advent calendar through her lifestyle brand, As Ever. The product is a collaboration with the Los Angeles-based artisanal chocolatier Compartés.

The midnight blue box is inspired by the Duchess's home and garden in Montecito, featuring designs such as a house under the snow, palm trees, and snowflakes. The collection includes 24 chocolates with flavors inspired by products sold on her website, such as strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, and orange jams. The packaging also features hand-painted numbers in the Duchess's handwriting with a gold finish.

The Advent calendar is priced at 131 euros and is available for pre-order in limited quantities. The early release of the product has drawn attention to the high-end pricing strategy of the As Ever brand.
