We have been looking for ways to contribute to the recent tragedy in Japan, so we were happy to learn that the Tory Burch We ♥ Japan t-shirt was designed to benefit the Japan earthquake and Pacific tsunami relief efforts.  100% of the net proceeds of every Japan Relief T-shirt sold now through September 15, 2011, will go to the American Red Cross.  Available for pre-order at ToryBurch.com.
