Greek heritage behind Meghan Markle’s sold-out Australian handbag

·

Meghan Markle’s Bondi Beach appearance during the final day of the royal couple’s Australian visit drew attention to a suede “Athos” shopper bag from Australian brand Scanlan Theodore, noted for its “quiet luxury” aesthetic.

The Melbourne-founded label, created by Gary Theodore, has Greek heritage at its core, with its founder referencing his “Greek heritage” in the brand’s identity.

The company has also shot campaigns in Athens and draws inspiration from Greek light, the Mediterranean landscape and ancient Greek ideals of moderation and simplicity.

The bag, now sold out, formed part of Markle’s relaxed Bondi look, paired with Australian-designed jeans and a striped shirt, alongside sneakers and gold accessories.
