Meghan Markle's surprisingly affordable fashion statement: the $12 bag that turned heads

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is renowned for her distinctive style and predilection for luxury brands. Nonetheless, her choice of accessories continues to raise eyebrows. Recently, the bag sported by Prince Harry's wife caught the paparazzi's attention.

Meghan Markle's elegant style is a cornerstone of her identity as the Duchess of Sussex. The wife of Prince Harry has frequently been featured on fashion magazine covers, where she's lauded as an icon of style and opulence.

Since Meghan and her husband stepped back from their duties as senior members of the royal family and relocated to the United States permanently, the Duchess' style has undergone a noticeable transformation. Remarkably, the 42-year-old seems to be aiming for a more relatable and down-to-earth profile.

The bag she donned during a recent outing at the Atlanta airport serves as a proof of this change. It caught the interest of both paparazzi and internet users.

An investigation by British tabloid "The Mirror" revealed that Meghan purchased the bag from a tiny boutique, A&B, while vacationing on Bequia Island in the Caribbean.

This unique accessory was designed by a local craftsman. The Caribbean Flour & Feed Sack bag, featuring a vibrant, casual style, diverges from the "old" Markle's look. Aligning with the fashionable and pressing need for eco-friendly items, it's made from recycled materials.

However, the cost of this accessory is astounding. It was sold online for approximately $12. Unfortunately for those wishing to emulate the Duchess's style, the bag is currently out of stock.
