Excited to see our new charity project mentioned in the SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS blog this week! We designed two midnight blue silk clutch bags studded with SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS crystal stars specifically to benefit the amazing PUPPIES BEHIND BARS (PBB) organziation.
On their website PBB describes their mission:
"Puppies Behind Bars (PBB) trains prison inmates to raise service dogs for wounded war veterans and explosive detection canines for law enforcement. Puppies enter prison at the age of eight weeks and live with their inmate puppy-raisers for approximately 20 months. As the puppies mature into well-loved, well-behaved dogs, their raisers learn what it means to contribute to society rather than take from it. PBB programs bring the love and healing of dogs to hundreds of individuals every year. The dogs bring hope and pride to their raisers, and independence and security to those they serve."
Inge Christopher is donating 25% of the proceeds of the sale of each PBB handbag to this very worthwhile charity. Help us support PBB and get a beautiful clutch handbag that will take you from holiday parties to weddings and everywhere in between. Choose between our stylish PBB Minaudiere and our chic PBB Foldover Clutch.
Surprise! After more than 20 years selling handbags Inge Christopher debuted a line of jewelry today! This Mill Valley Bib Necklace- along with many other gorgeous pieces- will be available in September... I hope I can wait that long!
Just finalizing a new addition- dustbags in all of our bags featuring Swarovski ELEMENTS by the end of February! Got to keep those sparklers safe and sound...
New year, new blog! And the first exciting thing to tell you about is our 25th Anniversary! Inge Christopher has been in business for 25 years and we want to celebrate by giving to others. For the entire year we will donate 25% of the price of items purchased on ingechristopher.com to 10,000 Degrees. Go to 10000degrees.org to learn more about the important work they are doing to help students in need to access, pursue and complete higher education. So buy yourself a gorgeous clutch and help someone on the path to a college education!
