Shopping for Good: Japan Relief

Designers are banding together in an effort to aid victims of the recent tragedy in Japan. Below is an overview of what a few of our favorite designers/retailers are doing (via stylist).

• Alexis Bittar is donating all proceeds made from sales on his website from March 21-25 to the Catholic Relief Fund
• Gilt City will match the profits from each donation made to the non-profit Global Giving
• H&M has closed down all stores in Tokyo and is donating 100,000 garments to the Japanese Red Cross
• Forever 21 is donating 100 percent of purchases made on their website until midnight on March 18
• Rebecca Minkoff is donating is $100 for every red handbag purchased on her site to the Red Cross

And remember, you don't need to buy anything to support the efforts, donations to the Red Cross are accepted at any time.
