Ralph Lauren Supports Female Artisans in Developing Worlds

If you're visiting the Hamptons this weekend, do your part in supporting female artisans in developing worlds. On August 8, Rugby Ralph Lauren will host an exclusive shopping event in conjunction with Nest, a non-profit organization that has provided microloans and mentors to women artists since the 1970s.

Rugby's East Hampton store, located at 32 Main Street, offers casual pieces with a youthful twist. Since its 2004 launch, Rugby has provided timeless pieces. Customers can buy their favorite clothing items and purchase handmade merchandise as well as crafts from Nest designers.
For a $25 donation, guests will enjoy hors d'oeuvres and organic cocktails. Rugby Ralph Lauren will donate 10% of all sales and donations to help Nest continue their commitment to women around the world.
This event is a great opportunity to support a charity that builds up families one woman at a time. Nest realizes that when women are empowered, stability spreads to the rest of the household. Make plans to attend this weekend's event or donate to Nest on-line. To see how your donation will help women in Israel, Mexico and Tanzania, read personal stories from Nest on its blog.
Women, start making your Moves today!
