The Wheel – a universal representation of independence – but one that is also important to Her Royal Highness who loves cycling, drives herself around town and personally sends her children to school, while the Grids of a sports racquets – representing fitness and an active lifestyle which also rings true with Her Royal Highness who is a firm believer that a woman should be fit and healthy.
The Diamonds – serves a symbol of class and elegance – and one that should define every woman. A woman must speak kindly of others, with sincerity and respect, and women should empower one another and sparkle together just like diamonds. The element of flowers represents the soft and feminine side of every woman.
Vivy explained that they used Hydrangeas in The Royal dUCk collection as they are Her Royal Highness’ favourite blooms. Just like flowers, a woman exudes elegance, as well as the grace to remain strong and firm. Her Royal Highness represents this element too well, always beautiful and graceful in appearance, yet determined and strong when performing her royal duties.
The Bees signify love, nurture and growth as well as teamwork – important qualities that we all need to have. Her Royal Highness believes that all women should empower one another.
The collection has not only marked a major milestone for dUCk but also holds much meaning for women.
