TOMS Spring Summer 2015

TOMS has become synoymous with social enterprise. Their business model of one for one began as an ispiring cause that had people rushing to get their signature shoes-they have now expanded and are continuing their message of one for one but are doing so in a very fashion conscious way.

I was fortunate enough to be invited to see some of the amazing shoes and accessories that will be unveiled for the upcoming Spring and Summer season, as well as enjoy some yummy coffee.

That's right, TOMS has expanded to the beverage that fuels us all. If you have been following TOMS on instagram or twitter you will already know that TOMS has been offering coffee in the USA for some time now and they are now bringing it North of the border. TOMS is offering a wide variety of beans and roasts to suit everyone's taste and are ding so from crop to cup, ensuring ethical production, harvest and delivery to the

consumer. They have continued their tradition of one for one, and for every bag of coffee sold TOMS, through their partners, will provide one week of clean water to a person in need and even better you can track your impact at TOMS.COM/WATERGIVE.

I was completely blown away by the shoes for SS15. TOMS has stayed true to its iconic style, using natural and organic materials with a global design-I am in love for this spring. With the 70s trend in full swing for Spring 2015, you can grab a pair of espradilles or wedges and know that your purchase will help a child in need.

Often I have heard, and TOMS is frequently asked, "What shoes are donated?" and it's a valid question, when you buy a pair of wednes, are wedges donated? I was delighted to see the shoes that are donated. TOMS has 4 designs to meet the needs of the recipiet, from the canvas version you may have purchased to a pair of runners, waterproof shoes and even winter boots! The shoes are black so they can be used for formal events, such as with a school uniform, and stay clean.

Finally TOMS is wanting you to see the change! TOMS is now doing both sunglasses and prescription eyewear. Offering a wide range of styles made in high quality materials, both the glasses and sunglasses are on point and keep with TOMS mandate of one for one. For every eyewear purchase made, TOMS will meet the needs of the recipient providing them with eyewear, surgery or medication. You can feel good that your stylish shades are iving the gift of sight to someone in need.

Now here is the very exciting part, on top of all of this growth TOMS is having right now there is some even more exciting news that I CANNOT WAIT to share with everyone. Check back on the Blog at the end of the month for what I think is one of the greatest One for One mandates TOMS is taking on, a cause very close to my heart.
