Giving back is always on the forefront of my mind. I think it's important to support companies that are concerned with the way their goods are made and/or are advocates for a specific cause. Below are four brands that have mastered combining style and good deeds.
1. Amour Vert has very classic and simple garments that are sustainably made. Their dresses are effortless and so comfortable. For every tee that is purchased, a tree is planted in North America.
2. FEED, founded by Lauren Bush, supplies children all over the world with nutritious school lunches. Their tees are my personal favorite, but they have bags and accessories as well.
3. Warby Parker has the perfect eyewear for everyone. For each pair sold, they donate a pair to someone in need.
4. Memo Bottle: this sleek water bottle is flat and compact. It's a truly innovative design and interesting product. One dollar from every sale is donated to water.org to help provide clean and safe water use.
