Saldana was seen showcasing the new Mini Linear Bucket Bag from Cuyana, a leather bag brand favored by Meghan Markle and Eva Mendes. While Markle and Mendes have previously endorsed the brand's tote bags, which have been praised for being buttery soft and sophisticated yet casual, Saldana opted for a smaller, more trendy option.
Despite Meghan Markle's aspirations, her bid to represent the renowned label was met with a different choice, signaling a shift in the brand's strategy. This disappointment for Markle comes as she faces challenges with her own fashion endeavors. Her recent launch of a new website and Instagram page was followed by setbacks, including the need to slow down due to various factors, including public perception amidst family challenges and concerns about timing.
Critics argue that Markle's approach to her commercial ventures lacks adequate research and preparation, with her projects often appearing hastily conceived and poorly executed. While Markle initially aimed to establish successful enterprises, such as her lifestyle website and other endeavors, these efforts have faced criticism and skepticism, with some suggesting they may ultimately fade into obscurity.
