It was made in the UK<\/a> and was described as \u201ca small reminder that rest is part of the ritual\u201d. Meghan\u2019s bookmark was made in collaboration with a New Forest-based workshop and featured a gold inscription of \u201cFell Asleep Here\u201d in the Duchess’s handwriting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However, while some fans seemed to enjoy the new bespoke product, others blasted it online for its quality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A user reshared a video on X from As Ever\u2019s Instagram<\/a> stories, showing a customer replacing their old paper bookmark with the As Ever one, which appeared to struggle to fully secure on the book page.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The user criticised the make of the product, saying: \u201cOmg! The As Ever bookmarks are so cheaply made!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Others appeared to follow suit, with one user writing in the comment section: \u201cSometimes I use junk mail as a bookmark . . . and it often has a finer aesthetic than As Ever. Just sayin\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Another one added, sharing a picture: \u201cLook at these I bought for $2.82 each. I bought several, to give to different friends with their initials. They have a magnet inside, which keeps them in place.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A third one commented: \u201cAs a book lover, I would never use such a thick bookmark. It\u2019s so short, it could easily move too. It\u2019s an awful design.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A fourth one said: \u201cAs expected.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Meghan\u2019s bookmark sold out in minutes after it launched on January 13.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It was said to be made using \u201csustainably sourced leather\u201d and described as \u201ca keepsake designed for those who linger, pause and return\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Duchess collaborated with Sbri, a \u201csmall UK-based female-owned workshop specialising in handcrafted, made-to-order keepsakes\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
