Meghan Markle teams £1,000 Hermes scarf and £570 sandals with £9 shopping bag made from Caribbean upcycled feed and flour sacks on the island of Bequia

Meghan Markle opted for a stylish low-key ensemble as she and Prince Harry returned from a romantic weekend getaway in the Caribbean.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were spotted arriving in Atlanta on a private flight on Monday following their brief holiday to the tiny island of Canouan in St Vincent and the Grenadines.

Photos captured Meghan, 42, and Harry, 39, disembarking the plane and leaving the tarmac where they were greeted by staff and U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents.

Looking typically chic, Meghan sported a black long-sleeve maxi dress which she teamed with her £570 Hermes Oran Sandals in Gold and her £1,000 Hermes Brides de gala scarf.

She completed her look with a new addition to her wardrobe, a £9 Caribbean Flour & Feed Sack shopping bag. The upcycled accessory is made by Alethea John and her mother Bernice John, who run A&B Boutique on the island of Bequia, the largest of the Grenadine islands.

The tote – emblazoned with the words ‘Cream of the Islands’ – feature a shoulder strap and colourful detailing across the top of the bag.

They are also sold on the website Seven Council Fires Native Art, which is ‘non-profit created to empower and promote Native American artists and crafters and to preserve Native arts traditions through selling opportunities, education, events and projects,’ according to its site. 

Showcasing the tote on the site, a caption reads: ‘Thank you so much for your purchase of these authentic Caribbean upcycled feed and flour sack shopping bags made by Alethea John and her mother Bernice John.

‘Alethea has a little shop, the A&B Boutique, on the island of Bequia that has been hit hard by significantly reduced tourism due to Covid. Your purchase is truly appreciated!’

There are daily flights and ferries to Bequia from Canouan – where Meghan and Harry were spotted strolling hand-in-hand along the paved promenade next to a sun-splashed marina.

Meghan teamed her shopping bag with sunglasses and a sunhat, while sporting a messy bun. 

Equipped with his weekender bag, Harry was also dressed casually in a white polo shirt, olive pants, and shoes, and topped off his post-holiday look with a black cap. 

Meghan’s Hermes scarf design, which shows two bridles side by side, was sported by the late Queen on various occasions, with Her Majesty owning the scarf in various colours.

The Brides de gala scarf is Hermes’ best selling scarf of all time and is one of the most emblematic Hermès designs

The Duchess of Sussex, 42, was pictured with the £1,000 Hermes Brides de gala scarf. The Queen is pictured wearing the same scarf design in 1982

The late monarch sported it to her Diamond Jubilee in 2012 and at the Royal Windsor Horse Show in 1982.

While the Queen’s scarf was navy, Meghan appeared to opt for a more modern version in dual grey and blue tones. 

The Brides de gala scarf is Hermes’ best selling scarf of all time and  is one of the most emblematic Hermès designs. 

It was first designed in 1957,  when Robert Dumas was working with designer Hugo Grygkar. 

According to the Hermes website, he placed two ‘sumptuous’ bridles side by side on the ground and was immediately struck by the perfect composition they formed, and the scarf design was born. 

In Meghan’s scarf, a reinterpretation of the original,  one of the two bridles is redrawn to give the impression of the glued and stitched technique used by the house’s leatherworking artisans. The scarf is a cashmere and silk mix.

It is unclear if Harry and Meghan have travelled to Atlanta – where close friend Tyler Perry is known to have his own massive studio lot – for work or leisure. 

The couple’s two young children were not seen returning with their parents and appeared to not have joined them on their trip. 

Harry and Meghan enjoyed several days of quiet on the Caribbean island after a busy few weeks that saw them in Germany for the Invictus Games and then New York for Archewell’s first in-person event marking World Mental Health Day. 

Over the weekend, DailyMail.com spotted the pair strolling hand-in-hand along the paved promenade next to a sun-splashed marina, looking like any young couple enjoying a Caribbean vacation.

A photo taken by a passer-by on Friday shows the pair leaving a gourmet food store inside the Sandy Lane Yacht Club and Marina in Glossy Bay.

Meghan was seen wearing a simple ivory maxi-dress and a ribboned Panama hat while husband Harry was casual in navy shorts and a white t-shirt and flip flops.

The pair were without children Prince Archie, four, and two-year-old Princess Lilibet, and were ‘affectionate’ with each other according to the onlooker.

The source told DailyMail.com: ‘They looked happy. As Harry walked out of the shop, he slightly bumped into one of the barrels [outside] and they both giggled and Meghan reached for his hand. They just looked very happy to be having a holiday together.’

Meghan and Harry had been shopping at Faye – an upmarket grocery store that bills itself as offering an ‘exclusive selection of fresh seasonal organic products, from vegetables to cheeses, sweets, seafood and exclusive meat cuts’ imported from France.

After browsing the shelves, the couple enjoyed a stroll along the promenade before boarding a luxury tender that whisked them away towards Canouan’s north shore.

The tiny Caribbean island is just three miles wide but has a reputation for being the place where ‘billionaires go to escape millionaires’ due to its gorgeous sandy beaches and a handful of upscale resorts.
