She owns the coat in FIVE colours:
According to the bible of fashion, Women’s Wear Daily, Meghan owns this Line The Label coat in five different colours. White, burgundy, black, light grey and soft pink. The company will also stock the coat in hunter green as of next autumn.
Where to buy the coat:
The coat quickly sold out after the engagement announcement. Line’s president and co-founder, John Muscat told Women’s Wear Daily that the coat sold out “within minutes” of Meghan being photographed wearing it. The company are now working hard on recuts to meet demand, though it may take a little time: “we’re not a huge company and it’s the end of the season so we don’t stock a lot of these coats. They are all handmade”.

Muscat on Meghan wearing the coat in her engagement announcement photos:
I don’t know how you’re supposed to react to that. I was surprised that she chose to wear our coat for such an incredible announcement. I was really honored and touched that she did that. She’s bringing a little bit of Canada with her to London. She particularly loves this coat. She has it in every color so that makes a little sense. She wears it like a second skin. — WWD
