“Starlight, starbright, let’s see who we can help tonight…” Fashion is a beautiful thing, but it’s even more lovely when the designs are aimed to help the less fortunate. In the case of this Inge Christopher PBB Foldover Clutch, the charitable recipients are four-fold. The company donates 25% of the proceeds from each sale to Puppies Behind Bars, a wonderful non-profit organization that trains prison inmates to raise service dogs for wounded veterans and explosive detection canines for law enforcement purposes.  It’s a win-win-win-win situation for all involved. The midnight blue silk charmeuse clutch is accented with sparkling Swarovski Elements Crystal Rocks in the shape of stars. A framed compartment and other pockets for your needs make this a useful option. A chain handle can also be attached for versatility. Let this bag shine the way for so many in need.
