The British public is a hard public to win over. We judge harshly first and are cold and guarded first. But once, you have earned a spot in our heart, you have earned one in our home; and this is exactly what Catherine has done with 2 decades in the spotlight.

For a Commoner marrying the Heir of the most high profile Monarchy in the world, the task of adapting was a matter of survival. Yet, she looks, sounds and acts with more elegance, more dignity and more alacrity than Blood Royals themselves. And yet, this kind and honest young woman, who has never put a foot wrong in 20 years, was still viciously crucified this week by the world press; led by the British press and by haters online, all the while recovering from major surgery

If the worse crime Catherine has ever done, after spotlessly behaving for 2 decades is editing her OWN mother's day picture, with her OWN children and taken by her OWN husband, so she could post it on her OWN social media to surprise the world on Mother's day with her health improvement and say "thank you" to us for our support; a "thank you" the world violently spit back in her face out of rabid jealousy and bitterness; then I would like to hand her her sainthood in the house of Windsor: she is truly perfection in a very imperfect world judging her and in a very imperfect Royal family watching her

As bad as her vicious enemies try to break her, Catherine always comes back on top. Life challenges taught her to make the sweetest lemonade out of the most bitter lemons

Today, after all the targeted hate campaigns, she still comes on top as the Nation favorite and most loved Royal, in both the YouGov poll in the UK and Ipsos poll in the US

Her Influence has only become even more massive, worldwide. Catherine is cultural Icon of our time. The name "Kate Middleton" is now a very marketable brand that stands on its own and even, has the power of affecting Stocks

The Adobe stocks were trending at 552.45 on Monday morning. After rumours trended on X that she used adobe clouds to edit her picture, by monday evening, adobe stocks were trending at 561.42, adding $3 Billion in value to adobe stock in half a day

This morning, they were up to 579.14

Catherine's name alone is now a powerful Royal Warrant on its own

Her first official return picture on X broke the internet for almost a week straight and was viewed 82 million times in 48 hours on X alone. The biggest account on X, elon Musk with 175 mil followers got on a highest viewed tweet this year of 66mill views

Her Haters did not hurt her, they made her stronger. Bullied her whole life, first by female classmates at age 12 in school, then harrassed nationally by the british press and paparazzi in her 20s for being prince William's girlfriend, to now being viciously targeted internationally by the world press and haters in her 40s as prince William's wife, Catherine is very familiar with mental abuse and bullying. Yet, she has never embraced the victim mentality, she is a victor. She is confident enough to publicly take accountability for her own mistakes, and confident enough to calmy get on with it; In that, she is British to her core

The commoner they snobbed and despised has now taken over the House of Windsor, Her soft power unmatched; She has now inserted the generations of Coal miners and working class brits, who worked slave wages to build this country into the veins of the most privileged royal family in the world. Her son, Prince George is the first Heir in history with working class and coal miners ancestry in his veins. And in that Carole middleton, who was born in a condemned council flat in southhall and still became a self made millionaire; the one the world mocked and bullied for decades for being too low class for Royalty; The one who is currently in windsor caring for William, Catherine and their children with unwaverring love and loyalty; she at last won the last laugh

The Kate Effect

Beulah London: For vulnerable and trafficked women. Our aim is to enable them to live in freedom. 

Over 66,297 HOURS OF EMPLOYMENT

Ever since Beulah Founders Natasha and Lavinia embarked on a volunteer trip to India and witnessed the devastating reality of modern slavery, their mission has been to empower vulnerable women through the business of fashion.

A LETTER FROM THE FOUNDERS

Beulah’s story began in 2009 with a trip to Delhi, where we spent two months working in a rehabilitation centre teaching sewing skills to women who had been rescued from the sex trade. With this new skill came an opportunity to generate an income and build independence. It was here that we first understood the importance of providing sustainable employment to victims of trafficking to enable them to break free from cycles of abuse, exploitation and poverty.

Compelled to fight modern slavery and inspired by the fine fabrics and beautiful designs of the east, we founded Beulah, an ethical luxury womenswear brand with a social mandate: to empower vulnerable women through the business of fashion. Incorporating crafts such as hand-weaving and embroidery into Beulah’s collections provides sustainable livelihoods for vulnerable and previously trafficked women who either already possess the skills, or to whom we provide the training and tools to develop new skills. Our London-based design team carefully creates collections of timeless pieces with distinctive feminine silhouettes, showcasing our Impact Partners' craft techniques. Beulah customers feel beautiful and empowered, knowing that their choice of clothing has changed lives. We use fashion as a force for good. From supporting and nurturing ourImpact Partners, to working closely with our suppliers to ensure that human and environmental conditions are the best they can be, we are proving that it is possible to eradicate slavery and operate an ethical, sustainable fashion brand.

2020 marks Beulah’s ten year anniversary. Our first ten years has shown the incredible difference we are able to make when we come together in the fight against slavery. We are thankful to each and every person who has chosen to join us in our cause. Together with the trailblazing women who buy and wear Beulah, we’re raising the voices of marginalised and vulnerable women around the world and putting an end to slavery. 

We hope you feel inspired to make Beulah a part of your story. 

With love, Natasha & Lavinia

We're creating a sustainable, commercial, and creative vehicle that will provide an alternative livelihood to these women. We do this by providing meaningful employment to women who craft our products, and we also donate 10% of our profits to charitable causes.

co-founders Natasha Rufus Isaacs and Lavinia Brennan as they get personal, answer questions, and let us into their world of fashion, work, motherhood, and more...

NATASHA: We met a couple of times through our families, as our grandmothers were good friends and now our mums are great friends. We spent a week skiing together in Zermatt, Switzerland and decided to travel to India together later that year. Which is where Beulah all began….

LAVINIA: The brand was born out of our travels to Delhi. We spent time working with women rescued from sex trafficking, teaching them sewing skills that enabled them to create products and generate an income. We got to witness firsthand how sustainable employment can break the cycle of poverty and re-exploitation.NATASHA: A vet! I was obsessed with animals. But I was useless at Science, so it was never a go-er.

LAVINIA:  I always had a passion for beautiful clothes and as a young girl you would often find me in my mother or granny's wardrobe dressing up in pieces that were about 8 sizes too big for me!I'm not sure I ever imagined myself in the industry but that love for beautiful creations, whether it be art or fashion, has always stayed with me - like Nats, I studied History of Art at University and probably would have pursued a career in that had we not started Beulah. How Beulah came about was rather serendipitous and completely unexpected - both of us with a shared passion to do something meaningful, in the right place at the right timeNATASHA: Not to worry so much and don’t be afraid to fail. It’s these circumstances that will shape you. 

LAVINIA: I think the biggest lesson I have learnt these past few years is to not be afraid of failure or change. It's important to have the courage to dream big and if it doesn't quite work out how you planned, it was not quite meant to be, you just need to be able to pick yourself up and have the courage to start again/to see things differently. Something my mother has always said as well which I only value now that I am older - "in a world where you can be anything, be kind".

NATASHA: Raising a young family and running a business – it’s hard but incredibly rewarding. NATASHA: It has made me work much smarter, as time is so precious.

WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM BEULAH IN THE NEXT YEAR?

NATASHA: We’ve just launched a very special capsule with Ginnie Chadwyck-Healey, some beautiful styles to take you from every day to occasion. We’ll also be launching our AW25 new season quite soon!

LAVINIA: Next summer we are planning a more curated bridal offering of classic Beulah styles aimed specifically at the Bride…watch this space.
