This August, handbag designer Matt & Nat has selected Wild Tomorrow Fund along with six other charities to participate in its 2016 Hope handbag campaign. Building on the success of last year’s campaign, which raised over sixty five thousand dollars, Matt and Nat, is launching its second edition of the exclusive Hope Charity Bag. 100% of the purchase price of the limited edition bag, sold online only, will be donated to one of the selected charities chosen during checkout, including Wild Tomorrow Fund.
An estimated 35,000 elephants are killed each year for their ivory, and over 1,300 rhinos are slaughtered across Africa for their horns. At current poaching rates, elephants, rhinos, lions and other iconic African species may be extinct in the wild within our lifetime. Matt & Nat’s support of Wild Tomorrow Fund will help raise awareness of the conservation challenges facing wild elephants, rhinos, lions and other threatened species in South Africa while raising urgently needed funds to help defend them. One handbag at a time.
Wild Tomorrow Fund’s co-founder and Executive Director, Wendy Hapgood, said
“Matt and Nat’s sustainable Hope charity handbag is beautifully stylish while giving back to conservation. Not only were no animals harmed in the making of the HOPE bag – they’re being helped! We’re so happy that Matt & Nat have selected Wild Tomorrow Fund as one of seven charities for the 2016 Hope campaign, donating 100% of the purchase price of each bag to environmental and social causes.
With almost 100 elephants being killed each day for their ivory, the time to act is now. Join the fashionable fight for wildlife”
The bag is available for shipping globally including Canada, USA, UK, Japan, Europe and Australia. Online shoppers chose one of the seven environmental, humanitarian, and animal welfare organizations to support on checkout. If they chose to support Wild Tomorrow Fund, 100% of the purchase price will go toward helping protect and defend wildlife and wild places in South Africa.
