Duchess Meghan often wears the woman-built sustainable, fair trade label which promotes a “fewer, better” lifestyle, and true Meghan fashion fans might even remember the beautiful $348 wrap coat she wore in South Africa.

The Cuyana hat is "handmade with love" by artisans in Ecuador, and comes in five neutral colours ranging from natural to black.
