Spreading awareness is so very important, both on a personal level and in the bigger picture. As a blogger we get many exciting opportunities but what happens when we use our influence to spread awareness? Continue reading to learn how I’m supporting Elegantees, a fashion organization/brand that helps provide hope to overcomers of sex trafficking in Nepal.
SHOP THE POST
It was well over a year ago when I received an email from Naomi in behalf of Elegantees. They asked if I was willing to help create a “Vanessa” tee (the one I’m wearing) to help victims of sex trafficking in Nepal to have a source of income that reinforces independence, a healthy self-image, and confidence. Of course, I didn’t hesitate and agreed to help design the Vanessa tee which is now available HERE. Also, please note that I was not compensated to collaborate, i.e. partner with Elegantees on this project — this is strictly me spreading an important message. Something I very much support, and believe in as well.
I’m beyond honored that Elegantees took me as their inspiration to create this tee with me. They captured my style perfectly, wouldn’t you agree?
INSPIRATION
Vanessa is recognizable for her polished mix of sharp, clean lines and tailoring in her style. The European artistry and cultures are her own style mantra.
MADE WITH A MISSION
Designed with purpose to provide meaningful employment for women rescued from sex trafficking. It was made in Nepal, one of the least developed countries in the world, which ranks high for trafficking. This design creates a bright future for the survivor who made it.
Get your “Vanessa Ruffle Tank” today HERE, and thank you so much in advance for your support!
Much love, always.

Thank you, Rach! Means a lot coming from you! You are such an inspiration to me!
Well done, dear V., you and Elegantees! The T-shirt is beautiful, you look as usual stunning, but more than that, it is the heart that is beyond the T-shirt and collaboration (that I know was not sponsored). You are an inspiring friend, your heart is beautiful, it’s an honor to know you! Spreading awareness of causes like this, things that happen in Nepal, but all over the world as well, are very very important. Well done, dear V.! Hugs and regards!

Vanessa, this is such an amazing collaboration and cause you’re supporting! I love that you were able to design a top that’s reflective of your style, while symbolizing your support and empowerment for women, specifically those who’ve been victims of sex trafficking. The ruffled shoulders are reflective of all things femininity and the bold color, to me, reflects empowerment and boldness. This is such a great cause to lend your name to, thank you so much for sharing, beautiful, you look amazing as always! Sending you lots of love and wishing you a wonderful and blessed week ahead, my dear friend!

This almost brings tears to my eyes because I can imagine the positive impact this will make on women who truly need our support. And it puts the world and life in perspective a bit. Yes, this top is beautiful and fluttery and stylish and all things that bring to mind YOU but it is also so much more. And I admire so much your recognition that sometimes, sponsorship or collaboration fall to the wayside and you rolled up your fashionable sleeves and did something good. Love this more than words, and you….Xxoo Michelle
