Angelina Jolie’s Jewelry Line, Style of Jolie, Will Donate 100% of Profits to Charity

Apr 4, 2013 @ 2:00 pm

Angelina Jolie’s jewelry line, Style of Jolie, has officially hit the market! Available at only one location in the U.S., Tivol in Kansas City, Missouri, the line is chock full of pieces containing stunning vivid green Colombian emeralds all set within 18k rose and yellow golds. Jolie co-designed the line with celebrity-loved jeweler Robert Procop, aiming to capture Jolie’s love for tablet shapes plus plenty of rounded curves. And it wouldn’t be a true Jolie project without an incredible charity element: 100% of the profits from the sale of the jewels benefit her orgnization Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, which has already built an eight-classroom primary school in Afghanistan. “Beyond enjoying the artistic satisfaction of designing these jewels, we are inspired by knowing our work is also serving the mutual goal of providing for children in need,” Jolie said in a statement. Prices available upon request; call Tivol at 816-531-5800 for more information.

Kobe Bryant Designed a Lakers-Inspired Watch for Hublot; Proceeds Support His Foundation

Mar 25, 2013 @ 2:45 pm

Kobe Bryant is a master of precise timing on the basketball court, and now he’s taking his knack for good timing one step further. Hublot hired the baller as its latest celebrity ambassador, and as part of the new partnership, Bryant created his own watch for the timepiece brand—and it is, shall we say, baller. The Limited-Edition King Power Black Mamba watch, a title inspired by his serpentine nickname, Black Mamba, features Los Angeles Lakers-inspired purple and gold accents and a black python band. “My basketball skills mimic the snake of that name’s ability to strike with 99% accuracy at maximum speed, in rapid succession,” Bryant told InStyle.com after revealing the design at a private dinner in Los Angeles last week. “I am obsessed with watches,” he continued. “A watch allows a stylish guy to express himself. This is the perfect watch for a daring guy who appreciates bold design, precision, and performance. And an L.A. Lakers fan, of course!” Only 250 of these were made—one is for Kobe, of course—and they are available for $25,000 at select Hublot boutiques (visit hublot.com for locations). A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Kobe & Vanessa Bryant Family Foundation

And we have the full list right here! From Out of Print Clothing, that donates one book for every book-inspired tee you buy, to Baby Teresa, a brand that donates one of their rompers each time they sell one, each has found new ways to give back. Find out more about each of the companies below. More

Target’s Next Designer Collaboration Has a Charitable Touch, Thanks to Lauren Bush Lauren’s FEED USA Partnership

Mar 11, 2013 @ 1:34 pm

Target is known for its amazing designer collaborations—Missoni, Prabal Gurung, Gwen Stefani, to name a few—and now, it’s adding a charity element to its next big partnership: FEED USA + Target. The retailer teamed up with Lauren Bush Lauren’s FEED organization to create 50 limited-edition pieces set to hit shelves this June, including home goods, stationery, apparel, and accessories with prices ranging from $3 to $400. Most importantly, the Target line will incorporate the main element that made the FEED charity so popular: Each sale will directly feed children. Sales from the Target line will benefit Feeding America, a national hunger-relief charity, and even better, each product will features a number on it showing exactly how many meals it provides. “Through product sales, we hope to provide 10 million meals to Americans in need, which would make it the largest U.S. initiative in FEED’s history,” Lauren said in a statement. “I am proud that we will be able to empower guests to make a measurable impact through the purchase of the FEED USA + Target collection.” Support the cause by Tweeting the hashtag #FEEDUSA and by shopping the collection, in stores and on target.com starting June 30th.
