Ladies,
When I started collecting Hermes (especially the handbags) I started putting my other unused bags (except for Chanel) in a spare room to keep for a rainy day or simply because I loved them, but couldn't bear to part with them for some reason or another.
I've found a lovey non-profit organization called Dress for Success that does a wonderful thing: they collect clothing and accessories for disadvantaged women that helps them turn their lives around. They outfit them with professional clothing and assisting them in looking for jobs that will help them support themselves and their families. It sounds very simple, but has an amazing impact on women who think there is no hope and that they are stuck in poor circumstances.
I decided to take all my unused handbags and a few Hermes scarves that I no longer wear and donate them. Not only did I want to share the joy of your first Hermes scarf with another person, but it made me feel very good about letting go of something I no longer really need.
This one is in NYC, but I am sure there are organizations around the world that do something like this. If any of you would like to do the same, I am quite sure your efforts will be very warmly welcomed. Thank you for reading and sorry if I sound like I'm on a soapbox!
