The Meghan effect! Demand for purple folder surges after Meghan Markle used it to hide her bump when she arrived in Australia

By -

Meghan Markle arrived Australia two days ago armed with two folders. At the time, it was considered unusual but after her pregnancy was announced, the reason for carrying the folder became clear.
The bright purple folder was a subtle trick the Duchess of Sussex used to hide her baby bump.
There has now been a sudden surge in the demand for the purple folder overnight. Office supplies store Officeworks has reported a 75 per cent increase in sales overnight and has sold out of the suddenly popular item.
A spokeswoman for Officeworks said:
Her unlikely accessory has sent stationery lovers into a frenzy, with the purple folder having almost sold out across Officeworks stores nationwide.
Data from Officeworks shows that as of yesterday, sales of the general folder category have increased by 32 per cent and sales of the infamous Aqua Drops range have increased by 75 per cent.
The folders were described as "the latest must-have accessory to conceal a baby (or food!) bump".

Isco’s transfer switch to Chelsea this January is off after the player demanded more money, reports say. Chelsea were all set to sign Isco in a £75million deal and had agreed to pay substantial add-ons. Isco and his agent were picking up signing on bonuses, driving up the value of the deal to £100m, but have now asked for more money after interest from Paris Saint-Germain. The Sun claim Chelsea believe Isco has no real desire to play for the club and are poised to pull the plug on the switch. Real are ready to offload Isco as the Spanish side are happy to cash in on a player no longer central to the club’s long-term plans. Mauricio Sarri is said to be disappointed with the sudden U-turn, as the Italian was planning to pair Isco with talisman Eden Hazard. Isco broke his silence on transfer rumours this week, insisting he had no plans to leave Madrid. ‘I’m very excited about the new year,’ Isco told Deportes Cuatro. ‘I’m not going to go in the winter market, I’m very happy, of course...
