What would you wear if you had access to every luxury designer under the sun? If you'd rattle off names such as Dior, Louis Vuitton, Aquazzura, Celine, Khaite, and Bottega Veneta, then you have a lot in common with Meghan Markle. She frequently wears all of these heavy-hitting brands, but they're not the only labels she stocks in her closet. She also mixes in lesser-known brands, which are the subject of this story.

You might be able to recognize a Celine logo from a mile away, but would you be able to spot a Cesta Collective bag as easily? If not, allow me to introduce you to the ethically made brand. "Cesta bags are made by hand from start to finish," the brand explains on its website. "Each basket is handcrafted of locally sourced, renewable resources, by talented female artisans in Rwanda, Africa—whom we are proud to pay 500 to 700% times the national average salary of Rwanda." Scroll down to shop Cesta Collective and the six other under-the-radar brands that Meghan Markle wears.

Associate Director, Fashion News

Erin got her start as aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
