Shopping with a Purpose: Heart of Haiti

September 16, 2011

Have you heard about Heart of Haiti items sold exclusively at Macy’s? 

Haiti is still recovering from the devastating earth quake last January.  Most of the people lost everything!

Macy’s has teamed up with some of the local Haitian artisans with Heart of Hait.  This helps the artisans to recover and provide income for their families with Macy’s selling their handmade items online and in Macy’s stores.  The artist receive 22% of the retail value of the items.  Isn’t this an awesome idea!  Before the quake they were only selling locally, now there items are known throughout the world!  Find out more about Heart of Haiti HERE.

I received a Heart of Haiti Horn Bracelet.  LOVES IT!  I have been rocking it everywhere. 

I wore it dressed up for Fashion’s Night Out.

And casual everyday.
They have many more beautiful handmade items. Here are a few.

I think these are great gift ideas while supporting a great cause.
For more, head over to Macy’s to check out the collection.

*I was given the Heart of Haiti Bone bracelet for review

    Such a great cause! Rachel Roy had a video on her website on the trip she took with Macy’s execs and Martha Stewart down to Haiti. They showed a bunch of great local artists!

    Have a great weekend!
