Do Good, Look Good with Rachel Roy's New FEEDProjects' FEED India Bag

FEED x Rachel Roy bags

Beautiful inside and out, Rachel Roy often incorporates philanthropy into her fashion-empire-endeavors, and now the NYC designer is launching a FEED India bag in collaboration with Lauren Bush Lauren's FEEDProjects.

On a recent trip to India, Rachel worked with local Indian artisans to create a bag that is true to the local culture, and features authentic Indian detailing. According to the World Food Program, India is home to 25% of the world's hungry people and 43% of children under the age of five are malnourished. Fashionistas can feel good knowing that each FEED India bag that is sold will provide meals to 100 hungry school children in India.

Get yours now at RachelRoy.com for $78. Find out more about the collaboration here and join the conversation on Twitter with hashtag #FEEDINDIA.
