*FOR THE DRC* Topstitch Jacket
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has suffered from decades of clashes between military groups, leading to the displacement of more than 6 million people. Violence has escalated to great extents recently, to the point of bombings that have forced entire communities to flee.

All profits made from this jacket will be donated to the Save The Children foundation who are working directly within the Democratic Republic of Congo to make sure families who have been uprooted from their homes and deprived of basic needs are receiving the aid they need.
