On the morning of 1 December last year staff at Canadian fashion house Mackage came into work to find a single item had inexplicably¹ sold out overnight². Every one of its 750 euroes(1,013 dollars) double-breasted military maxi coats had walked off the shelves in over twenty countries on three continents. The reason? Meghan Markle. Prince Harry's fiancée had worn the coat five hours earlier, five thousand miles away in her first public walkabout in Nottingham, England. Within minutes the world wanted Mackage maxi coats.
