LONDON, Sept 12 (Reuters) - Britain's Duchess Meghan
returned to work on Thursday for the first time following the
birth of her first child with husband Prince Harry to launch a
new fashion range whose sales will help a charity supporting
unemployed women.
Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, has made a handful of public
appearances since son Archie was born in May but the launch of
the fashion collection, created in collaboration with well-known
British stores and fashion designers, marks her first official
engagement.
The sale of the "Smart Set Capsule Collection" will last for
at least two weeks and is designed to help Smart Works, a
charity that provides quality clothes and training for
unemployed women for job interviews.
For every item bought, one will be donated to the charity
which Meghan became the patron of earlier this year.
The items include a blazer and trousers from fashion chain
Jigsaw; a tote bag from department store John Lewis; a classic
dress from Marks & Spencer and a white shirt from fashion
designer Misha Nonoo, a friend of the U.S.-born Duchess.
"Since moving to the UK, it has been deeply important to me
to meet with communities and organisations on the ground doing
meaningful work and to try to do whatever I can to help them
amplify their impact," Meghan, 38, said in a statement.
"Thank you to the four brands who came together in
supporting Smart Works on this special project - placing purpose
over profit and community over competition."
