Meghan Markle to Unveil Over 100 Products with New Brand American Riviera Orchard
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is venturing into the business world with the launch of her new brand, American Riviera Orchard, set to feature an eclectic mix of over 115 items. The brand’s diverse range will include unique offerings such as dog shampoo, chicken feed, and yoga accessories, showcasing the Duchess’s varied interests and lifestyle, told “The Mirror“.
In an announcement made earlier this month, Meghan shared glimpses of her upcoming brand, which later culminated in a formal request to trademark the brand’s elegant logo. The logo, adorned with the initials ‘ARO’ and the word ‘Montecito’ below in gold lettering, encapsulates the brand’s essence and its connection to the Duchess’s Montecito home.
The trademark application provides a detailed look into the wide array of products Meghan plans to introduce under the American Riviera Orchard banner. Among these are home and kitchen essentials, skincare lines, stationery, and pet products, revealing a comprehensive lifestyle brand.
A promotional clip on the brand’s Instagram page offered a sneak peek into Meghan’s vision for the brand, featuring the Duchess engaging in home activities and surrounded by floral arrangements. According to a source cited by Page Six, Meghan has poured over a year into developing the brand, focusing on themes and products that resonate deeply with her personal interests and values.
American Riviera Orchard marks Meghan’s return to the public sphere with a personal project, reminiscent of her pre-royal days when she managed her lifestyle blog, The Tig. The new brand promises to blend her passion for home, wellness, and sustainable living into a curated collection available to the public.
This business launch comes at a time when the Sussexes have been in contact with the royal family, extending their support to Princess Kate amidst her cancer treatment. In a recent statement, Harry and Meghan expressed their wishes for Kate’s health and privacy during this challenging time, underscoring the ongoing connections between the Sussexes and the royal family despite their independent ventures.
