Mother’s Day is celebrated on May 10 in the US. The collection includes the candles on their own, two sets called the Sweetest Mom Set and the Mother’s Day Edit and the cheapest item, which is a box of chocolates, which retails at £37.
They’re part of a limited-edition collaboration with Los Angeles-based chocolatier Compartés
The box includes ten chocolates with caramel centres and flower sprinkles, with each one weighing 28 grams.
Fans were not impressed with the hefty price tag and took to social media to express their views.
One user wrote on Reddit: “So, let’s look at what you get in her new box of chocolates for Mother’s Day. It’s a 6 ounce box of 10 small caramel-filled dark chocolates with safflower petals for $58. That’s $10 per ounce, folks. Mothers everywhere deserve SO much better.”
Another person agreed: “I get better value and taste from NO NAME cheap jams/spreads.”
A third user said: “I bought luxury chocolate for my friend and her family from, IIRC, the oldest chocolatier in the US or something along those lines. The packaging was absolutely gorgeous. I did not pay as much pay as much as Markle is charging for a single item, and the entire family absolutely loved the chocolates.”
While a fourth person commented, “I just ordered 25 boxes of handmade chocolates from a decently known chocolatier. 9 handmade custom colored chocolates per box for $30/box.”
A fifth one joked: “I’d rather spend 58 quid on Reeces peanut butter cups and knock myself sick.”
The brand said on the website: “A limited-edition collaboration with Los Angeles-based chocolatier Compartés created just in time for Mother’s Day.
“Soft and decadent caramel centres are layered with flower sprinkles, adding a beautiful layer to the rich dark chocolate.
“Made for gifting or keeping close, they’re easy to return to, one piece at a time. A delightful treat for yourself or someone you love.”
