Meghan Markle’s Fashion Choices Cause Louis Vuitton Sales to Plummet

In the world of fashion, a public appearance by a high-profile individual can make or break a brand.

Unfortunately for Louis Vuitton, the brand has recently fallen victim to the sartorial curse of Meghan Markle.

It all began weeks ago when Meghan participated in the Ripple of Hope awards ceremony, opting to wear a custom-made form-fitting white Louis Vuitton gown that featured a racy thigh-high split.

However, instead of boosting sales for the luxury brand, the gown has had quite the opposite effect.

According to reports, Louis Vuitton has added a 50% discount to the gown in question, but it has yet to attract any buyers.

In fact, some customers have even begun to boycott the brand, citing discomfort with wearing something that reminds them of Meghan Markle.

The brand is now left with no choice but to try and sell the gown in third world countries where Meghan's influence may be less prominent.

On the other hand, there is Catherine, whose public appearances have the opposite effect on fashion brands.

When Catherine attended the Royal Concert in a coat from high street favourite Hobbs, the coat sold out within hours.

In fact, this is not the first time that Catherine has helped boost sales for a brand.

Hobbs has had to speed up production to meet customer demand and has seen a significant increase in revenue since Catherine wore the coat.

Louis Vuitton can only dream of the same sales boost that Hobbs had experienced.

Unfortunately for the luxury brand, Meghan has been a regular customer, spending millions of dollars on Louis Vuitton clothing.

However, instead of boosting sales, her patronage has caused the company to lose millions of dollars.

In contrast, Charlotte, like her mother Catherine, is welcomed by Hobbs.

The young princess, who's only seven years old, is swiftly following in her mother's sartorial footsteps.

In the family's Christmas card, Charlotte was photographed in a sweet denim playsuit from London brand Hobbs.

It seems that it's not just what you wear, but who wears it that matters in the fashion world.

While Catherine and Charlotte's fashion choices boost sales and attract positive attention, Meghan's fashion choices have had the opposite effect.

A source of tension between the Princess of Wales and Meghan was their shared love of a high-end fashion brand and who got first dibs on the luxury designs.

Meghan Markle was reportedly upset when Kate Middleton's wardrobe was prioritised over hers.

Markle loved British designer Erdem Morgulou's dresses, but when she became a member of the royal family, Kate was given priority.

Prince Harry writes in his book that Meghan wore Edmund's red swebbler dress from the Invictus Games in Toronto in September 2017.

However, when the now Princess of Wales continued to wear the dress by the designer, Meghan couldn't wear them until Commonwealth Day in March 2019.

Camilla Tominey is shedding new light on Prince Harry's claims about why Kate and Meghan didn't get on from the get-go.

Suffice to say the notion of a soon-to-be sister-in-law receiving preferential treatment did not, it is claimed, go down well with Meghan, especially as she wasn't even the Queen.

Meghan always pointedly insisted on calling the Princess of Wales Kate, even though the rest of the family referred to her as Catherine.

According to Tominey, Meghan also felt resentment towards Kate's parents, Carol and Mike Middleton, over her mistaken belief they were cashing in on the royal connections to get special treatment.

Meghan believed Kate's mum and dad had free use of the Windsor Suite, the VIP lounge at Heathrow, and then insisted that her mother Doria use it when travelling to the UK, allegedly citing a risk to her safety.
