Meghan has worn a pair of Brother Vellies “Huaraches” flats numerous times, including at a polo match while on maternity leave in 2019, during her royal visit to South Africa, and in summer 2022. Brother Vellies, founded by Aurora James, wrote in a post in summer 2022, “Meghan has been wearing our Huaraches since 2019, which is entirely what Vrother Vellies is about. Long term wardrobe additions that are thoughtfully made and become a part of your style dna. A big thank you to Meghan for the ongoing support of us and our artisans!”
When she first wore the shoes, James said, “When women support fashion that is actually made in the country where it comes from, that’s a big thing. We’re sold out, and other companies are selling huaraches too. That will benefit the artisans in Mexico.”
