The BluBond Experience is Shopping for Charity. A unique e-commerce and digital content platform, BluBond is the fashion hub for up-and-coming designers and brands to show case and sell their one-of-a-kind merchandise to help raise awareness and funds for charitable causes.

In BluBond everybody wins: you purchase your favorite piece and help a charity with a donation and we promote an upcoming designer/brand

Give Back Fashion

Give Back Fashion: Making a purchase where part of the profits from the sale is donated to a charity. 

This is what BluBond has always been about, and is now something Nordstrom is taking on with a select brand under the Nordstrom name. The name of the brand, "Treasure&Bond, [is] a collection of wardrobe staples (think moto jackets, T-shirts, denim and plaid shirts) that is now available online at Nordstrom.com and in the TBD department in 86 stores throughout the country. Five percent of the net profits from Treasure&Bond will go toward non-profit organizations that empower women and girls," according to Fashion Times Features Editor Britteny Dee. 

We love that such a big name retailer is taking a step forward and is utilizing their power to help others out. There really is no greater feeling than knowing that making a simple purchase for yourself can help change and/or save someone's life, and the best part is you don't have to wait to go to Nordstrom to do it. You can do it right now by going to BluBond.com.

Things Change, But Giving Back Is Always In Style

Do You Mind Purchasing With BluBond To Take A Kid Of The Streets?

Aug. 4, 2014 - SAN FRANCISCO - By purchasing a Mila scarf, $41.20 is given back. By purchasing a Flor Amazona Monkey bracelet, $23.10 is given back. By purchasing a Luciana tote, $28.20 is given back to our featured charity, Manifest Your Destiny. These items are one-of-a-kind, limited edition, exclusive-for-BluBond products from designers and brands all over the world. As these items are leaving, so is your chance of shopping and giving back to the Manifest Your Destiny foundation.

Summer is slowly coming to a close, and to prepare for the Fall/Winter, our catalog is changing with all of our products disappearing in the next 10-30 days. This is the time to go to BluBond.com and snatch up all the items before they disappear for good from the site.

Manifest Your Destiny is a foundation working towards bettering today’s youth. By providing mentorship and having the youth engage in activities, MYD helps lead 8th grade students on a path towards social, professional and personal empowerment.

It’s sad to see these items go, but we all can still make a difference in the time that is left for these items being in the BluBond shop. We can still give back to BluBond’s featured charity, Manifest Your Destiny, by doing some much needed shopping today! How many people can say they had to shop to give back to charity? Well, you can. These are children who are in dire need of personal and education help. They are trying to figure out who they are, who they want to be, and are trying to not just finish school, but go to school. Manifest Your Destiny is here to help by inspiring them to do more and be who they want to be, and you can help in their mission by making a purchase on BluBond.com.

As these items disappear, in the next couple of weeks, our catalog will be filled with new merchandise from new designers that we have discovered at events like Colombia Moda, as well as merchandise from existing brands already on the site.

For more information on brands we will be brining to the site, the foundation, Manifest Your Destiny and how you can help, please visit http://blubond.tumblr.com/ and http://www.blubond.com/.

Thank you,
