  • The coat Meghan Markle wore during her engagement announcement has been renamed the "Meghan."
  • It's designed by Canadian label LINE and was originally called the Mara Wrap Coat.
  • It's currently sold out, but there are still similar options available elsewhere.

It's common knowledge that anything Kate Middleton wears sells out almost instantly, and now it seems that Meghan Markle is having the same effect on the fashion industry.

Markle wore the white Mara Wrap Coat by Canadian label LINE during the announcement of her engagement to Prince Harry on Monday, and instantly made the garment the must-have coat of the winter season.

It drew so much attention that LINE's website actually crashed due to so much traffic.

LINE's co-founder John Muscat was baffled by the popularity, especially since he had no idea Markle was going to wear his design for the big announcement.

"I did not know it was going to happen," Muscat told Elle. "I was really surprised she wore that particular coat for the announcement... I think it’s very touching of her to take that moment and to share it with a Canadian brand."

Muscat was so touched by the sentiment that the now-iconic coat has been renamed the "Meghan."

"She’s obviously the woman of the moment, and this is an announcement people have been anticipating," he told Elle.

Of course, the coat is completely sold-out at the moment, but we've found some other alternatives that are a close match to Markle's style.
