Puma's Animal-Free & Proud!

Big news!!!

After lengthy discussions with PETA, Puma has pledged to NEVER use fur or exotic animal skins in any of their products.

The sportswear brand's decision is receiving praise worldwide and they were even awarded the Compassionate Retailer Award from the animal rights' organization.

PETA's EVP Tracy Reiman says Puma going animal-free is HUGE:

"Every snakeskin shoe or piece of fur trim comes with a high price—and it's paid by animals who are driven mad in cages on fur farms or nailed to trees and skinned alive. When a company of Puma's prestige takes a tough stance against animal abuse, the entire industry and other businesses worldwide sit up and take notice."

We couldn't agree more! Hopefully more companies will follow in their footsteps!

What do you think about Puma's choice? Does it make you want to support them more???

Tory Burch Teams Up With The Michael J. Fox Foundation For Parkinson's Awareness Month!

What do you get when you mix fashion, Tory Burch and the Michael J. Fox Foundation?

An amazing opportunity to help raise funds for Parkinson's research, that's what!

For the month of April, the designer has pledged to donate 20% of sales from select orange items to the actor's foundation. Those items include the Robinson Chain Mini Bag ($365), Simone Cardigan ($225), Robinson Coin Case ($95) and the Aaden Flats ($250).

Tory said was more than happy to help out such a worthy cause:

“It’s an honor to partner with the Michael J. Fox Foundation. Michael’s optimism and determination are truly an inspiration, and we are thrilled to help in our own small way.”

Michael jokingly added:

“It doesn’t hurt that we both love orange”

And so do we!

As if that wasn’t enough incentive to purchase, Google's co-founder Sergey Brin and his wife Anne Wojcicki will match every dollar raised by the sale until the end of the year.

Wow!

All of the items mention can be purchased at toryburch.com or the Madison Avenue store in New York City.
