If I told you that you could buy a limited-edition Marc by Marc Jacobs tote or a cozy Canada Goose toque for about $50, you'd probably think I'd lost my mind. But last night I learned that's exactly what's happening in Holt Renfrew stores this fall. Not only are both items exclusive to Holt's, but a portion of sales go to charity. The super cute totes hit stores September 30. And with Vision Spring (a non-profit that provides eyeglasses in the developing world) as Marc By Marc Jacobs charity of choice, you're right to think the design was inspired by an eye exam chart. "I predict they'll sell out in 48 hours," said Holt's president Mark Derbyshire. To make sure you get the one you want, jump the cue and reserve online starting September 7. The Canada Goose toques land in stores November 4. Lined with fleece and featuring the classic Canada Goose crest, they'll certainly help you brave the elements this winter. Proceeds from sales go to Polar Bears International, a non-profit dedicated to saving these great white giants from extinction.
