It's National Women's Business Week this week. Or at least, officially. Because in my mind, every week women should be in business.
One of the big supporters of this week is uber designer, mom, and friend-to-women everywhere Tory Burch, and she's asked us to share with you some of the cool stuff she's doing right now.
[don't miss a fun giveaway after the jump] Her amazing dot-org, The Tory Burch Foundation was set up to help women in this country with business opportunities through needed microloans. It's a great org to consider supporting on its own. Or, you know, through shopping.
And so this week, 100% of the profits from some of the designer products at Tory's shop are going directly to the foundation. You'll find a cool charm bracelet, a pretty scarf, totes and tees featuring her trademark sunflower design, and my favorite, the world charm necklace (at right). It's not cheap, but if you were jonesing for Tory's fun studded cuff anyway, this is the perfect opportunity to grab yourself one.
See? That's us supporting women in business. Who are supporting other women in business. Who are supporting their families and their communities. Awesome how that works, isn't it. -Liz
See all the Tory Burch products with profits going to the The Tory Burch Foundation on her website.
EXTRA-COOL: WIN IT! We've got the Tory Burch Foundation CD to giveaway, filled with a compilation of amazing artists like of Wyclef Jean, The Smiths, and Santana + Citizen Cope. Just leave a comment here before by WEDS OCT 20 midnight PT, with the name of one woman-owned business that inspires you. Not your own...someone else's.
We'll draw one winner at random. And even if it's not you, what a cool chance to pimp out the companies you adore.
