The full range of the Duchess of Sussex’s new Smart Set capsule collection has been unveiled.
Meghan’s high street range of four pieces of clothing and one accessory, created by Jigsaw, John Lewis & Partners, Marks & Spencer and her designer friend Misha Nonoo, in aid of the charity Smart Works, are available to buy from Thursday.
Sizes range from 6-24 and the collection will be available for at least two weeks.
For every garment purchased the retailer will donate one garment to Smart Works.
Here are the five pieces:
– The crepe dress – £19.50
The Smart Set Crepe Shift Dress, which costs £19.50 from Marks & Spencer, is available in vibrant blue and classic black, and in regular and petite sizes.
The Smart Set Blazer by Jigsaw, which costs £199, is tailored for a feminine fit and fully lined.
– The trousers – £120
The slim-fit, black sleek tapered trousers match the jacket.
They are described as having “an impeccable finish inside and out” and “are perfect to pair with other sartorial pieces to create a well-tailored suit”.
– The shirt – £125
Created by and available from Misha Nonoo, this piece is described as the “perfect crisp white shirt”.
The husband shirt costs £125.
– The handbag – £109
John Lewis is selling the Leather Smart Set Tote Bag, available in tan or black, for £109.
Both have already sold out online, having been snapped up within hours of being unveiled.
The “generously-sized bag” has an open-top design with “plenty of room to fit whatever you need to get you through the working day”.
It has a large exterior slip pocket and two phone-sized slip pockets, one card slot and a zipped pocket inside, and two shoulder straps and a detachable and adjustable crossbody strap.
Each retailer will only stock its own Smart Set piece, rather than the full collection, although John Lewis will also sell the Jigsaw suit.
The collection quickly won praise from fans of Meghan’s style.

Meghansfashion.com described the tote bag as “gorgeous”.
A quote from the duchess – “Not a handout, a hand held” – accompanies the description of the items on the John Lewis and M&S websites.
The Smart Works charity provides training and interview clothes for unemployed women in need.
Meghan is its patron and has a long-standing commitment to supporting women’s empowerment.
