Fashionista! Duchess Meghan (née Markle) has just finished another jaw-dropping project and, on Thursday, September 12, she unveiled it to the world! Meghan, 38, has officially launched her new fashion line in collaboration with Smart Works called the “Smart Set Capsule Collection” — and it’s already selling out online.

As soon as her fashion line was made available, buyers rushed to grab the John Lewis and Partners leather Smart Set Tote Bag that was retailing for £109 (or around $135). “The first release of the Smart Set Tote has sold out online, with a second release coming shortly,” a representative for the company recently said in a statement. “However, we have plenty of stock in our shops across the country.”

Taking to Instagram on Thursday, September 12, Meghan revealed why her fashion line is so important to her.

“Since moving to the U.K., it has been deeply important to me to meet with communities and organizations on the ground doing meaningful work and to try to do whatever I can to help them amplify their impact,” she said.

“It was just last September that we launched the Together cookbook with the women of the Hubb Kitchen in Grenfell. Now, one year later, I am excited to celebrate the launch of another initiative of women supporting women, and communities working together for the greater good,” she continued.

The duchess also gushed about how great it’s been for her to work with other companies to make her dream a reality. “Thank you to the four brands who came together in supporting Smart Works on this special project,” she said. “In convening several companies rather than one, we’ve demonstrated how we can work collectively to empower each other — another layer to this communal success story, that I am so proud to be a part of.”

The post also gave a little more information about Meghan’s new collection. “The collection — which features a shirt, trousers, blazer, dress and tote bag — will be on sale for two weeks starting today, with the objective of selling enough units to give Smart Works the essentials they need to help dress clients for the coming year!” it reads.

However, the best part about Meghan’s new fashion line is that it donates an item to any woman in need with every purchase that’s made on the website. Therefore, unemployed women will have the proper essentials that they need to get back into the workforce.

“The reason I was drawn to Smart Works is that it reframes the idea of charity as a community, which for me, is incredibly important,” guest editor Meghan gushed in the September issue of British Vogue. “It’s a network of women supporting and empowering other women in their professional pursuits.”
