Meghan Markle's Most Iconic Coat Is Still For Sale

Of all the coats Meghan Markle has owned, one has proved more durable than any tailored jacket or ceremonial cape: a soft camel wrap coat from the Toronto label Sentaler, cinched at the waist with a self-tie belt and finished with the brand’s signature ribbed cuffs. She was wearing Sentaler before she was a royal, wore it for her first Christmas with the Windsors, and was still reaching for it nearly a decade later at the Invictus Games.

That kind of longevity is rare in royal fashion coverage, where a look is often prized for being new rather than familiar. The Sentaler wrap coat has become something closer to a uniform, a piece Meghan returns to across continents and occasions because it simply works. And unlike so many royal-adjacent pieces that vanish into “sold out” purgatory the moment a photograph circulates, the style itself remains part of Sentaler’s current collection, sold directly through the brand’s own website.

A Toronto discovery, years before the crown

Meghan’s relationship with Sentaler predates Prince Harry entirely. She lived in Toronto for seven years while filming Suits, the legal drama that made her a recognisable face long before Kensington Palace did, and it was there that she first encountered the city’s growing roster of outerwear labels. Sentaler, founded in Toronto in 2009, was already building a reputation among Canadian women for coats that solved a specific problem: something warm enough for a Toronto winter that did not sacrifice a tailored silhouette for practicality. Meghan became a regular customer well before any royal photographer knew her name, which is part of what makes her continued loyalty to the brand feel genuine rather than curated.

Bojana Sentaler’s Peruvian epiphany

The brand’s founder, Bojana Sentaler, did not set out to become a favourite of the British royal family. Born in Belgrade and raised in Toronto from the age of eight, she studied marketing and finance at York University’s Schulich School of Business and spent her twenties in corporate beauty marketing before deciding the work left no room for her own creative instincts. In 2009, a trip to Peru changed the course of her career. She encountered alpaca fibre for the first time, was struck by its softness and its natural thermal properties, and spent months researching how it was sourced and treated before designing seven coats she herself wanted to wear but could not find on the market. Those seven pieces became the first Sentaler collection, made from baby alpaca and finished with the ribbed sleeve detail that, after early clients asked for more of it, became the label’s signature.

Christmas Day, 2017: the coat’s defining moment

Meghan’s most consequential outing in a Sentaler coat came on Christmas Day 2017, when she joined the royal family for the traditional walk to church at St Mary Magdalene on the Sandringham Estate, only weeks after her engagement to Prince Harry had been announced. She wore the camel Baby Alpaca Long Wide Collar Wrap Coat, its ribbed cuffs and oversized collar instantly recognisable to anyone who had followed her pre-royal wardrobe. It was her first public appearance with the wider royal family at their most sacred family tradition, and Bojana Sentaler has said she learned her design was being worn at Sandringham via social media while travelling with her own family, a small, human detail behind a moment that made headlines around the world. The coat reportedly sold out within hours.

A working royal’s road-tested wardrobe staple

What separates Meghan’s Sentaler habit from a single memorable photograph is repetition. She returned to Sentaler pieces across her working royal years and into her post-royal life, treating the label less as an occasional statement and more as a dependable base layer for a life that moved constantly between London, Toronto and, eventually, California. Camel wrap coats, cape silhouettes and, later, a structured trench all made appearances, each carrying the same ribbed cuff and unfussy tailoring that had drawn her to the brand in the first place. For a woman whose wardrobe was scrutinised at a scale few civilians ever experience, a coat she trusted to photograph well in almost any setting was a genuinely useful asset, not merely a style choice.

Vancouver, February 2024: gearing up for Invictus

Nearly seven years after that first Sandringham Christmas, Meghan wore a camel Sentaler cape coat with a self-tie belt during a visit to a curling rink in Vancouver, on the final day of a countdown trip marking one year until the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025. She paired the coat with black skinny jeans, riding boots and camel-toned gloves, a relaxed, off-duty styling that suited the informal nature of the visit far more than a ceremonial outfit would have. It was a reminder that, freed from the strictures of working royal dress codes, Meghan’s instinct was still to reach for the label that had outfitted her since her Toronto years.

The ivory trench at the Invictus Games opening ceremony

The most recent chapter came on 8 February 2025, when Meghan wore an ivory double-breasted Sentaler trench to the opening ceremony of the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025 at BC Place, paired with a black top and nude heels. It was a different silhouette and a different colour from the camel wrap coat that made her famous in 2017, but unmistakably the same design language: clean lines, a generous collar and the ribbed cuff detail that has become as much a signature of Meghan’s wardrobe as it is of Sentaler’s. Nearly eight years after her first Sentaler outing, the brand was still her instinctive choice for a major public occasion.

Is the Sentaler wrap coat still for sale?

Yes. Sentaler is very much a going concern, and the wrap coat silhouette Meghan made famous remains a mainstay of the brand’s current collection, sold directly through sentaler.com. The exact camel Long Wide Collar Wrap Coat she wore in 2017 retails for roughly £1,360 (CAD 2,550) when in stock, though its most popular camel colourways sell out quickly and cycle through restocks by size. At the time of writing, the shorter Cropped Wide Collar Wrap Coat in camel, which carries the same ribbed cuffs and self-tie belt, was listed at roughly £1,010 (CAD 1,890) with at least one size available to order. Given how quickly Sentaler’s camel pieces move, shoppers hoping to buy the coat are best served checking current stock directly on the brand’s own site rather than relying on resale listings.

A coat built to last

There is a quiet lesson in Meghan’s decade-long loyalty to a single coat silhouette: the best pieces in a wardrobe are not always the most photographed, but the ones reached for again and again, in Toronto, at Sandringham, in Vancouver. The Sentaler wrap coat has followed Meghan through nearly every chapter of her adult life, which is a rarer endorsement than any red-carpet debut. That it remains genuinely shoppable, rather than a relic confined to auction sites and fan forums, only adds to its appeal for anyone hoping to borrow a little of that same easy elegance.
