Fashion Partnership Benefits Dress for Success in Raleigh

100% Net Proceeds Donated to Non-Profit

Dress for Success® has teamed up with Talbots in Raleigh for the seventh year to help more women reach their fullest potential with a Gratitude Necklace, a limited-edition keepsake encircled with shimmering flowers meant to be gifted as a symbol of gratitude for women who have helped us along the way.

The Gratitude Necklace is available in Talbots stores and online now through March 21st. One hundred percent of the net proceeds will go directly to Dress for Success, a non-profit organization that provides women with the tools they need to achieve economic independence. Talbots, known for its modern classic selection of women's clothing, jewelry, accessories and shoes, will also match any monetary donations up to $250,000.

To date, Talbots – along with its customers – has raised over $7.3 million for Dress for Success, helping over 150,000 women get back on their feet. This year, more than ever, women seeking jobs need an organization that provides such incredible and far-reaching support. Women have been disproportionately impacted by the onset of the pandemic and are facing increased unemployment challenges due in large part to the issues of child care and the impact of the pandemic on industries women predominantly work in.
