Shabby Apple

November 14th, 2007

Most of you know that I like nothing better than a good excuse to indulge in high fashion.  My latest find is a company called Shabby Apple.

Dubbing themselves “Couture with a Conscience,” Shabby Apple is partnering with Unitus to give 5% of its net profits to microfinance projects.

According to their website,

For many women in the developing world, life is a constant struggle against poverty and hardship. Limited economic opportunity leads to a downward cycle of malnutrition, illiteracy and poor health - a cycle that traps each new generation. Through access to microfinance - financial services such as microcredit loans, insurance, savings and other products - women can overcome poverty and provide a better life for their children.

Every $100 donation provides at least 20 women with access to financial services - and the chance to live a life without poverty. Plus the dresses are super cute!

This flirty black satin holiday dress, “Sabrina,” is one of my favorites at just $98.

In addition to the dresses, Shabby Apple also carries a line of accessories, and you can expect to see Shabby Baby in February!

Now go do some guilt-free shopping!
