Sunglasses Lean Westward, Toward Many Cool Charities

Edited by

There’s a sunglass company that’s doing a whole lot of good. Westward Leaning is supporting a slew of seriously awesome charities that benefit so many aspects of humanity. From aiding science education to elderly jazz musicians, to stopping drug wars and protecting national parks, each sunglass serves a purpose. All the frames are the same, but the little side insets change with the charity it supports. Turquoise helps Native Americans. Brass helps the big bands in New Orleans. Each is sustainably sourced and carefully considered to look good.

Watch Coco Rocha Jig for the Homeless

Edited by

Coco Rocha jiggied her money maker for the homeless. At Artwalk‘s auction for the Coalition for the Homeless, Coco told the audience of heavy-wallet-weights that if they continued to donate after the auction was over, she’d get up and do her famous Irish Jig. Unlike the pleas of hosts Alec Baldwin and Richard Gere, this offer spurred rapid fire donations. Within 60 seconds, the “Emergency Feeding Fund” was up to $35,000! That’s $583 a second! See the Coco Rocha’s Jig here.

Her dedication to using only the finest materials for her exquisitely crafted  line shows: there’s no doubt her collection will be a must have come this fall. We caught up with Amanda to talk about what goes into developing each bag, her philanthropic mindset and why manufacturing in New York City is important to her.
