OMG Friends! Check out these precious Lanvin Dolls . As several of you know I love Lanvin…now I just HAVE to figure out what excuse I need to buy these darlings! Below is Quoted by Refinery 29 …where i found this great find!
“A percentage of proceeds from the sales benefit Dessine l’Espoir, the charity Lanvin designer Alber Elbaz commissioned to fabricate them. Indeed, the hand-stitched and embroidered figures were made by HIV-positive women in Swaziland—employed by Dessine l’Espoir—ensuring these talented ladies a steady source of income that enhances their quality of life and the resources needed to feed their families. Dressed in actual miniature reproductions of Lanvin Petite outfits, the couture toys qualify as collector’s items, and you know Barbie would be jealous of that Daphne Guinness-worthy makeup, and oh la la, those pearls! The $400 poupées hit Lanvin stores in November!”
So its a win win…money goes to charity…and you get the chicest, ridiculously delicious dolls! COLLECTABLE! Made me smile!
Enjoy xox Mindy
