Back in the olden days before online sales and discount codes, my friends and I had a little secret. We shopped at a boutique consignment store that specialized in high-end brands. Twice a year, the owner traveled to Atlanta, Charlotte, and NYC to find fabulous deals on designer clothing. She brought them down to her little shop and mailed out special invitation postcards to invite her customers to the event. She walled up the store for 3 days in preparation. On the day of the sale, women waited outside the door for hours to get in. My sister and I were loyal customers; we raced in and grabbed clothes off the racks to try on. We shared many a dressing room in the frenzy of the designer deals. Sadly, that little boutique closed down once people could shop online. While the discounts online might be steep, it’s still hard to find designer items at bargain-shopper prices. Then I stumbled upon Fashion Project. Dear friends, I am sharing this juicy secret with YOU!
When you shop with Fashion Project, you’re also helping others. A whopping 55% of the proceeds are donated to charity. You can even narrow down your shop search to a specific charity! I was really impressed with the wide variety of causes that benefit from Fashion Project. If you’ve ever received unwanted calendars or address labels from a charity, consider donating through your shopping dollars. After all, we can all use shoes, right? I love that next to the list price, Fashion Project shows the discount you’re getting with the purchase. Many items were up to 80% off. So if the shoe fits, buy it!
While some of the items are pre-loved, there are lots of items on Fashion Project that are New With Tags. Just as with my little consignment store secret, you’ll be getting a huge style points while spending a fraction of the price! Consider these for gift giving as well. I found lots of great buys in the accessories section, too. Believe it or not, there’s even a Sale section. As if the prices weren’t low enough, they go even LOWER! To find it, just click “Shop” and go all the way to the right on the toolbar. Some major bargains are waiting for you there when you add the discount code to bring the sale prices down 50%! Be sure to check the sizes; you can also narrow down by item condition.
Which cause would you shop for? Did you find any amazing bargains at Fashion Project?
Wow 55% is a fantastic donation to give to charity, I like the idea of being able to choose which charity too.
The Fashion Project is awesome and I love they donate 55% to charity. Thanks for sharing.
That’s really cool that they donate 55% of a purchase to charity. It’s nice to know that when you make some fashion splurges that you look good, but also that the purchase helps a charity.
This almost sounds too good to be true. I think I would like to learn more about them before I shopped there.
Wow, great deals and the majority of my purchase goes to a charity!? This sounds like just the place I want to shop!

Those are some great prices! I can’t wait to go bot shopping soon!
What a huge percent that goes to charity! That is unusual to see and I think it’s time to do some fall shopping. I love the Rebecca Minkoff purse.
That’s a very high donation percentage. I’m impressed! Thanks for sharing.
That’s sad about the boutique closing down. It sounded like quite the place to go. This Fashion Project is something I need to check out now!
That’s an interesting concept! Great prices on used brand name items, but would love to see more men’s stuff!

Good point, Scott! I didn’t even think about the guys’ clothes. That would be a great thing to add — as well as boutique children’s clothing.
WOW.. what a great idea, I love it. I love to shop and why not make some of my spending go to help others. Totally will check it out. Thanks for sharing
It’s amazing how much of the proceeds goes to charity. Love it! Great idea…a good way to get people buying and thinking about helping others.
I love that 55% of the proceeds are donated to charity! That is wonderful!
