A Montecito House Becomes the Model for a December Countdown

· 1 min read

Meghan Markle's As Ever has made an Advent calendar with the chocolatier Compartés, and the design takes its cue from her Montecito home. The edition is limited, so it is a seasonal piece with a fixed number of copies. Few houses on the California coast end up as the inspiration for a product meant to sit on other people's tables through the holidays. Here, the home sets the look of the box that counts down the days to Christmas.

With reporting from Veranda.
