The label, founded by former Vogue stylist Pip Durell in 2017, packages its clothes in cotton pouches rather than single use plastic to boost its sustainability ethos.
Taking inspiration from menswear the classic boyfriend shirt is described as an “easy, throw-on” piece and has amassed exclusively five star reviews from its customers.
It is available to pre-order in all sizes on the brand’s website.
Meghan was seen wearing it in behind the scenes footage from her outing to the Smart Works shoot in London which was shared on the official Sussex Royal Instagram account on Wednesday.

Following its appearance on the royal WNU posted a tribute to the Duchess on its own Instagram account.
Captioning a snap of Meghan on set, the brand said: “So incredibly honoured that The Duchess of Sussex chose to wear her WNU linen yesterday in London for a day with the incredible @smartworkscharity . Endlessly effortless and elegant, we are blown away.”
Meghan wore the shirt in the behind the scenes video where she teased a first look at her new clothing collection for charity Smart Works which will hit the shelves in autumn.
Her sustainable fashion choice comes as Meghan and Prince Harry have come under firefor taking four private jets in 11 days while flying to Ibiza for Meghan's birthday and then to Elton John's £15million home in Nice.
The gas-guzzling trips have seen critics call the Sussexes hyprocrites after Prince Harry recently talked about saving the planet and climate change at Google Camp.
Elton revealed he paid for the private Cessna jets to and from his home - which would have cost around £12,000 - for the "couple's protection".

However, it is estimated the journeys would have generated seven times the emissions per person when compared to a commercial flight.
Stars such as Ellen DeGeneres, Pink and Jameela Jamil have since come out defending the couple for being "compassionate" individuals, and called for "bullying" to stop.
