BLOOMINGDALE'S
Continuing in its quest to help find a cure, Bloomingdale's is once again putting together a spectacular showcase for Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October. Significant partnerships with The Estée Lauder Companies and Polo Ralph Lauren will enhance offerings to customers and benefits to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) in 2009. Exclusive merchandise, exciting special events, new vendors and special custom publications are all part of the store's comprehensive plans. For more information, visit www.bcrfcure.org.
Every single item featured in Little Pink Book will generate a donation to BCRF. The same items are available in a virtual "Pink" boutique on-line, available at Bloomingdales.com/LittlePinkBook. All items shown, from designers like Levi's, DKNY, Betsey Johnson, Calvin Klein, Elie Tahari and Juicy Couture, and top beauty brands Estée Lauder, Clinique, Prescriptives, Donna Karan, Bobbi Brown, Jo Malone, La Mer and Lab Series, are available in Bloomingdale's stores nationwide.
Three items in particular are exclusively at Bloomingdale's, and of special note:
The Big Pink Umbrella ($12) has a chic, black exterior this year and Marchetto's pink take on the solar system inside. $6 from each purchase benefits BCRF.
The Little Pink Card, with one of Marchetto's signature illustrations, is the gift card that gives twice. 10% of the card's value at the time of purchase, plus 10% of spending that exceeds the gift card's value upon redemption, goes to the BCRF. Pink Cards are available from $10 to $10,000.
Polo Ralph Lauren Pink Pony water bottle ($20) was created exclusively for Bloomingdale's to benefit BCRF. The bottle, which features single wall stainless steel construction, a screw-top lid and a carabiner for portability, holds 24 oz. $10 from the sale of each bottle goes to BCRF to help fund clinical and translational research.
