Chronicling the Chic, Classic and Casual Style Duchess of Sussex (the former Meghan Markle)

November 28, 2022

Meghan Supports Smart Works & Cuyana Collab

Meghan has long been a fan of California-based brand Cuyana – the gorgeous, timeless pieces built on the philosophy of fewer, better – and an exciting partnership with the brand and the UK-based charity Smart Works is something Meghan was eager to get behind. Cuyana is partnering with Smart Works and their Patron, Meghan, to donate 500 of their beloved Classic Structured Totes.

Cuyana is a well-known brand to fans of Meghan’s style, but it’s also widely popular in the fashion-community at large. Throughout the past decade, Cuyana has made its mark as a leader within the tote category. The brand’s best-selling assortment has supported women’s lifestyle needs time and time again, with offerings that perfectly balance beauty and functionality, and deliver upon its core tenants of design, quality, and sustainability.

Meghan spoke of the collaboration:

“Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing the magic of Smart Works – womens’ confidence and lives transformed.” said Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex. “Smart Works invests in women so they know they can thrive in any workplace, and Cuyana is a company that is by women and for women, so this feels like the perfect fit. Similar to the Smart Set collection we created many years ago for Smart Works, this collaboration will support women in the UK as they mobilize back into the workforce. I am proud to bring these two together to further our shared mission of uplifting and empowering women all around the globe.”

Cuyana’s CEO, Karla Gallardo, also spoke of the excitement with the collaboration:

“We’re thrilled to partner with Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex and Smart Works, because for over a decade we have designed totes with both beauty and functionality in mind, to ensure that the collection is equipped to carry women throughout all stages of life. Giving back has always been at the core of our business – whether it is supporting communities of women, artisans, or our planet. This Giving Tuesday, we’re so grateful to The Duchess and Smart Works for helping us advance this mission.”

If you’re thinking that this piece selected for this  looks familiar… maybe you had seen Meghan in it before… you are correct. The Classic Structured Tote is a piece Meghan has worn in the past.

The Classic Structured Totes are made from Italian leather in a woman-owned factory in Turkey, a country where artisans have produced quality leather goods since the 15th century. The bag also is LWG Gold certified, ensuring the leather is tanned responsibly against measures like traceability, resource consumption, and effluent treatment.

Meghan loves MANY of Cuyana’s pieces – here are only some of the pieces she has from the brand:
