Week 3 EOC: Making Money For Good

A company that is in the business of making money for good is FIGS. FIGS is a company that makes luxury neckwear and for every tie or pocket square they sell, a child in need of a school uniform will have one specially made for them. Founder Heather Hasson believes fashion can not only make you look good but also give someone the confidence they need in order to pursue an education or anything in life. “Uniting an impassioned interest for ties and pocket squares with the desire to promote global education, FIGS founder Heather Hasson breathes social consciousness into classic style. Mused by a mélange of experience tracing the plains of northern Kenya to the avant-garde ateliers of New York and Rome, Miss Hasson fuses her love of fashion with the promise of building confidence through education, one awesome tie at a time.”

All of her ties are hand sewn and made with the finest materials that resembles true craftsmanship.

“FIGS ties are hand sewn in New York and Los Angeles, as well as by our master tailors across the globe. We dedicate our attention and commitment to crafting products that inspire good taste and global education through impeccable fashion.”

Children all around the world need and want an education. Not everyone can arrive to an institution wearing rags or perhaps nothing to be taken seriously. Over 120 million children have no access to the basic necessities to go to school.  After Hasson’s voyages to Kenya, Tanzania, and Nepal,  she made it her goal to send children to school with uniforms that display prestige, but allows the child to be their own individual.

“It's not just a fruit. Or Adam's leafy cover up. We stand for Fashion Inspired Global Sophistication. We are here to inspire the world through fashion. Bringing style and confidence to work wear.”

Not only does FIGS give back to the community by uplifting our children, they also create more jobs which allows for more supporters.
