Eckhaus Latta Will Donate Portion of Sales to Puerto Rico Relief

In the aftermath of Hurricane Maria's devastation, it's been gut-wrenching to see the United States government going almost out of its way to deny aid to Puerto Rico. With the President doing everything in his power to shift responsibility, like blaming San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz's poor leadership on the crisis and claiming that Cruz is going out of his way to "be nasty to trump." Because, of course, with millions of American citizens left without electricity, water, food and other essential resources, the most important thing is the President's fragile ego.

Thankfully, there are those who are taking relief into their own hands. Avant-garde design duo Eckhaus Latta, known for their thoughtful and thought-provoking fashion shows, announced this weekend that 15% of their online and in-store sales will be donated to the Hurricane Maria Community Relief & Recovery Fund.

Over the next week Eckhaus Latta will be donating 15% of all sales online and in the LA store to the Hurricane Maria Community Relief & Recovery Fund. Join us in supporting the people of Puerto Rico OR donate directly; please see link in bio.

While buying designer clothes is obviously not the only way to donate to Puerto Rico relief, it's still nice to see a brand doing what it can to provide some help in the midst of a crisis.
