"Online boutique DesignerLaundry.com is like a having a 24/7 sample sale at your fingertips. You never know what will be available, and in what size, but it is guaranteed to be from cool designers like Catherine Malandrino, Calvin Klein, and even Marni. The majority of their merchandise is made up of new and sample items supplied by designers and the rest is donated by socialites and celebrities. Everything is discounted, and a portion of the proceeds go to charity. Definitely worth checking out! "

"Gorgeous clothing for a cause - does it get any better when fashion aims to better the world? DesignerLaundry is one of the most unique concepts that I’ve come across since starting this blog...Charities that they support are the American Cancer Society, the World Wildlife Foundation, and Musicians on Call to name a few. Some sample pieces are a Plein Sud leather jacket worn by Angelina Jolie on Mr. and Mrs. Smith, a Calvin Klein Collection evening gown worn by Nicolette Sheridan and they also just sold a (very well-loved) Chanel blazer worn by Lindsay Lohan. Do you dig it?"

"At the new online boutique DesignerLaundry.com, they’ve managed to combine selling hot designer clothing with giving back. And they’re definitely on to something. At first glance DesignerLandry.com looks similar to Bluefly, but with more panache. The designers in their wide rerpetoir-Malandrino, Rick Owens, Marni, Yohji Yammamoto and Comme Des Garcons (too name a few) are edgier than what you’ll find while cruising the everyday Shopbops and Yoox’s of the net. Their prices? Surprisingly affordable. I picked up a Catherine Malandrino silk chiffon sundress as seen on Elizabeth Hurley--according to their blog--for $175.00. This is about 30% cheaper than prices published everywhere on line. Including Ebay. Beyond offering edgey designer clothing at affordable prices, DesignerLaundry.com gives the everyday shopper the chance feel to and look a like a rock star. Literally. Their CEO, a 15-year vet of the entertainment biz, has been utilizing his celebrity connections to stock his shop. So for a few extra bucks shoppers can seize the opportunity to pick up or Nicolette Sheridan’s “red-carpet-worn” Calvin Klein Collection gown, or Lindsay Lohan’s “well-loved” Chanel Blazer or Angelina Jolie’s “mint” leather bomber rumored to be the genuine McCoy from Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Perhaps the most admirable twist that sets DesignerLaundry apart from the increasingly crowded e-commerce space, is that they’re actually working to make a positive difference in the world. Currently 40% of their proceeds from the sale of celebrity-worn items are donated to charities such as The American Cancer Society, The Fisher Center for Alzheimer’s Research and Musicians on Call (to name a few). They call it “Fashion for the Greater Good.” I call it *fab.* "

“Chances are you haven't yet discovered DesignerLaundry.com dear readers, so I'm here to let you in on the secret! It's a website that sells clothing and donates 40% of the proceeds to charity, which is no small percentage in the world of philanthropy, let me assure you. The charities they support are those which their donors and CEO are most passionate about, so there's a personal connection to those whom they give their proceeds. Their blogger Christina Angelacos just recently let me know that DesignerLaundry.com will be sponsoring the American Cancer Society's Taste of Hope Event. "This is a big deal for us," she told me, "it represents our first engagement with one of the biggest non-profit agencies in the world. :) We are proud to share we'll be donating $2500 to the cause." What a great example of looking good and doing good!"
