In the world of haute couture, there is a certain expectation from high-end consumers for upscale brands to use their global presence for the greater good
Luxury brand Louis Vuitton responds to this challenge through a partnership with UNICEF. Earlier of 2016, the brand launched a global initiative to help raise funds for children in need through their silver Lockit pendant and bracelet, which was inspired by George Vuitton’s original lock design from 1890. With the trending #MakeAPromise on social media, Louis Vuitton encouraged its luxury-loving clientele to get involved and be part of the giving back initiative. But Louis Vuitton is not the only brand to give back specifically for the benefit of children. Jewelry designer David Yurman once partnered with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals to help raise funds for children’s hospitals across the U.S.
Another luxury brand that gives back is Christian Dior, which donated a percentage of the proceeds of their “We Should All Be Feminists” tee to Clara Lionel Foundation, an organization founded by artist Rihanna which supports global education. The statement shirt was part of Maria Grazia Chiuri’s first Christian Dior collection for Spring-Summer 2017. Another brand that deeply cares about women empowerment is Chanel. Through Fondation Chanel, the luxury house brand supports innovative development projects geared toward the advancement of young girls and women.
Similar to Christian Dior which partnered with a celebrity, popular shoe designer Christian Louboutin created a limited-edition shoe called the “Marchevekel” to benefit Bring Change 2 Mind, a charitable organization founded by actress Glenn Close in 2010 to help raise awareness and understanding about mental illness.
But while supporting children’s and health causes are important, some brands focus their giving back initiatives to the environment, such as luxury brand Hermes which partnered with conservation charity Panthera to launch the Robert Dallet Initiative for Wild Cat Conservation. The late French artist Dallet, whose work had graced Hermes scarves in the past, is honored by the house brand with the release of a new Dallet scarf last year.
Always a great experience, I will never buy from any consignment store except here. Fast shipping.
Excellent experience from start to finish. My item was as described and I am 100% satisfied I will definitely be back again.
Bought a pair of like new sunglasses and couldn’t be happier. They came with everything (even the retail price sticker from the boutique). What a great find!
Love my recent purchase ( LV watercolor wallet). It’s brand new and was as described. The item was shipped fast with zero issues. Everything I’ve purchased from Couture USA has been excellent.
Love the girls Amazing classy
A plethora of fabulous designer items to ponder over, all in excellent condition! selection is incredible! The sales staff know the luxury market! Their suggestions were spot on! I Loved that they helped me decide, were engaging, and even looked up the details of my handbag. My purchase was a unique LV designer tote! I watched a video of the designer walking it down the runway! Enchanting experience! Affordable luxury at a great price!
I had a great experience. So much to choose from.
As a Collector of Chanel, Vuitton and Hermes for the past 30 years, I must admit--I am brought to my knees by the array of bags/belts/shoes/baubles featured (and authenticated) by this store weekly. I am fortunate (my husband questions this....) enough to live within driving distance...(and how I missed discovering this treasure trove for so many years blows my mind and can truly say it is a Paradise. I have seen their online selection---but if you are serious about these luxe labels....VISIT the Boutique. It iis almost a Destination to plan your holiday around! (Let the family drive to Busch Gardens....). Alina, Amber, Catherine.....the owner and staff know their stuff (a rarity these days) and can tell you the provenance of the items you select. Seriously Amazing and kaleidoscopic inventory. Thanks again for whichever of my recent 'finds' I am reviewing: hard to keep track because I seem to have a CoutureUSA 'Habit' FIVE STARS and Applause
Very happy with my wallet purchase. It arrived quickly and was well packaged.
I can thank you enough for Alina s excellent customer service !
I love shopping with couture USA !
The items are very good condition 💜💜
Love this shop! Great luxury items.
My husband put me on probation because Couture has so many fantastic items. All have been excellent quality and shipped nicely. It is nice to browse in person when I’m in town but also have shipping option.
I’ve purchased many high end Hermes items here and am always pleased when it arrives as described and very timely.

My bag is the perfect size for a night out. I love it.
